The Sargo 45 Explorer is aimed at cruising owners who want an enclosed helm without surrendering the outdoor deck. Its 14.6-metre design includes wide side doors, a single-level walking route and an interior that can be configured for different guest groups.

An outside route that supports the helm

The maker shows a hull-side gate, sheltered passages and seating on both the bow and aft deck. Wide pilothouse doors give a direct connection between the helm and line-handling positions.

That layout can simplify movement, but boarding safety still depends on the specific berth, fenders and crew procedures. A brochure is not a docking plan.

A social space behind the windows

Four people can sit in the forward-facing wheelhouse seats, while the main dining area is laid out for eight. The large roof opening brings natural light and ventilation when conditions allow.

Below, the yard offers either two or three cabins and two separate washroom spaces. The actual boat's sleeping capacity and stowage depend on the selected version.

Published dimensions and power

The 45 Explorer is listed at 4.25m beam, about 1.2m draft and a 12-tonne dry displacement. Two 480hp engines can be configured with sterndrives or IPS650 propulsion, with an indicative cruising speed of up to 30 knots.

The builder specifically warns that these figures concern lightly loaded craft and options shown in photographs may not be standard. Owners should seek a documented trial and final specifications.
