The Most Capable €1 Million Boat You Can Buy? | Sargo 45 Explorer

- Is this €1 million flagship of the Sargo range, the 45 Explorer, the ultimate all-season boat?
In this in-depth review, test drive and walkthrough, Jack Haines experiences the 45 Explorer in home territory of the Finnish archipelago to see how the boat performs in the environment it was made for (even if it turned out to be a little too calm!)
The 45 Explorer is available with sterndrives or IPS, the latter proving the more popular option in the boats built thus far. It’s capable of around 36 knots flat out but it’s the efficient cruising performance that really stands out. She’ll cruise anywhere from 15-30 knots and still maintain a range of around 400nm with the optional 2,000-litre fuel tank.
On board, there is the option to have two or three cabins on the lower deck, the former granting more space to the owner’s cabin and ensuite bathroom, forward. The three-cabin version is popular, though, as it provides comfortable and private sleeping space for six adults.
The level of practical detailing is truly outstanding, as you will see throughout the tour. It’s a lot of money for a 45-footer but the Sargo 45 Explorer is one of the most capable boats you can buy at this size.

But which would you buy, the Sargo or the Botnia targa 46?
What is the air draft (bridge clearance) for Sargo 45 model? I can't find the air draft spec in your review, is it suitable for inland europe waterways such as in france, thanks
The Mary Poppins of boats - practically perfect in every way. Excellent tour as well. Midweek lottery this evening, so everything crossed!
Pilothouse doors,safe comfortable excellent bow seating,and also very important feature overlooked by most builders is the extended aft hardtop .Totally awesome boat!
Came for the 'boat I'll never afford' but stayed for the drone shots. Whoever's flying your drones for you is a bloody legend.
We love to hear it! Glad you enjoyed it 👏
Haha, thank you 😁
@@maritimefilminguk no worries. Was this shot an Inspire 3 with a camera and drone operator? So impressive how you keep the subject centred.
@@Andyhutchinson it was shot on the DJI Mavic 3 pro. So just myself flying/doing the camera. Jack is well versed at what moves to pull and some good communication means we get the shots we are after as efficiently as possible :)
@@maritimefilminguk bloody hell, even more impressive. Hats off to you. :)
Outstanding. So thorough and the feel for performance is excellent. No questions. Just a perfect boat.
Boat of the year 2023 sorted - utterly outstanding practicality, economy, handling and overall usability
And hold the value🇫🇮
This reaffirms my belief following the previous video: this is my dream boat. Thanks Jack!
Your reviews are very well done. Narration is very nice, filming and editing...sobre, factual and accurate.
And that boat. You really gave me the wish to spent time onboard 😄
Thank you very much!
Beautiful tour as always, thank you Jack!
Brilliant boat. I really can't wait until I someday own a poster of it.
😅
I have looked at boats for a fair time and this for the price and practicability is excellent it does the job for me and will seriously look into this.
Beautiful tour as always, thank you Jack!. Beautiful tour as always, thank you Jack!.
Glad you enjoyed it! - J
that drone footage is incredible. What an excellent vid. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Seemed really good and unbiased review. My friend has propably done some wood parts in the boat. He is carpenter at Sargo.
Drone operator on point
I do like your presentation of vessels, succinct and descriptive and that is what prospective customers want.
Good job mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! - J
great tour!
Excellent presentation sir. Calm, clear, concise, and a pleasant voice.
Thanks!
Very nice yacht! Lovely boat, great performance, and a very elegant and thoughtful design.
My husband and I toured a 45 Sargo Explorer earlier these year (I think February) at an exhibition. They are very impressive! Expensive though, but looks worth every dollar, especially in person. Wow it looks very stable, at speed! Our new home has it's own dock perfectly suited for THIS vessel lol
This wouldn't look out of place as a police/coastguard patrol vessel, without the swim deck on the bow! I really did fall in love with this vessel! I have Googled it regularly since we seen it lol. Sending hints🤣. My husband prefers sailing, but not me. Too much work lol
Excellent quality video too. Thanks!
if this is a Million how much would be a 33 sell for?
@@billdeprospero8666 that is steep for a 33. i can understand 600 to 700 for a 36
Channel is building very quickly whicb reflects the quality of the content. I can see breaching 500k subs in 18 months.
Now that would be great! 🚀
Great video. One of my favorite boats. The other is the Targa. They make great Chesapeake boats. The build Quality is outstanding
Nice! Thanks for the tour!
Definitely need a bigger sea review of this boat! Looks amazing but concerned it may be a bit high CoG compared to other Finnish boats. Also an update on the flybridge option that is supposed to be coming out.
Also, do we know if they have plans for outboard engines? Torque would probably be a challenge but seems like everyone else is doing it…
Now if I had the money that would be the boat I would want, perfect size as a daily driver so to speak, live aboard and explore! Thanks for showcasing this beauty
Thanks for watching! 👍
Wowww... What a great boat.
Thanks for the review, really nice drone work.
😂😂😂 the washing machine. Brilliant….as always
Great review as always
Fabulous drone shots!!
Thats some excellent super smooth drone shots! Kudos to the photographer! Nice boat too!
🚁 🫡
Cheers ❤
The 2-cabin layout is perfect. It's just not big enough for three couples with bathroom, shower, cooking etc. Really great boat. I would like to see an outboard option. Diesel outboards?
thank you for the review! great video!
Thanks for watching!
Good to see you on CZcams on the other side of Europe Hainesy. 2,3
Cheers Mike 🫡
Impressive boat. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Jack, another excellent review. As a professional mariner this would be the boat for me (if funds ever allowed!), but with stern drives.
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it 😊- J
If I had a million I would hang up my sails tomorrow and buy my first ever motor yacht. As retirement time is here I could spend months in the Baltic or Eastern Med on one of these. When you see dayboats at one million plus this seems like a well priced proper yacht. Sadly, if I was to sell my ageing Beneteau, I might get the price of a Seakeeper for one. Loved the video and I hope we can see one in more challenging conditions one day.
The boat is beautiful only problem I see is the Volvo 650 engine which here in Melbourne Florida the marina either send them out to be rebuilt or replaced due to heavy engine where strange that he’s replaced three within the past 15 months in Florida. The video is well done, and the boat looks beautiful.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Still like it! Not the flash, but definitely the comforts! For people who do not need to be the center of attention the side show as it were, just to be out cruising!
Brilliant boat and great review.
Perfect boat for where I go boating and if budget allowed it’d be on the short list for sure.
I especially liked the washing machine, but would have liked more detail; brand; spin cycles; washing capacity etc 🤪🤣
Hi. Between Sargo 45 and Targa 47… which one is a better boat? Thanks
Finnish practicality! Thanks Jack!
Great review YB...My kinda boat...Beautiful 🙂
I do enjoy your reviews. As an english channel user it would be really useful to see a comparison in more difficult conditions with say a Nelson or Lochin or other semi displacent boat. But thanks for not choosing only marina queens to review.
Another big plus on this boat is the foward seating arrangement to comfortably seat 4,a lot of new boats out there have ONLY captains double helm seat which is fine if your with your mate on a date,but kinda cruddy if with your buddy,like on the marquis 40 by carver or the new 41 nordhavn and many many more that are really designed for dockside entertaining only
Very nice!! And very practical, indeed!
This is a way better deal then the sabre at3 million. Way better fuel economy for sure. This boat is a winner.
Great content and presentation.
Stunning boat.
I prefer the layout of this Sargo over the Targa, however the more traditional materials and design used in the Targa win me over by a very slim margin. Great walkthrough as usual!
This is absolutely on the short list when I hit the lottery and need a boat to get on and off my private island.
could you show us it in rough weather so i can we can see really start to see and get a sense of how capable it really is.
Excellent video. Thank you brother
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
What lucky cats and dogs and it's great that they get on together as they are all rescue animals. Love the house as well
🤔😬❤️
Another awesome boat and vid, im going to watch the targa vid again to see which I'd choose. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Edit: i would choose this sargo over the targa, it just seems better thought out, as great as the targa is, sargo pips it to the post for me. 👍
Nice boat. Thanks for the tour
Thanks for watching 😊
@@Yachtbuyer Any idea why this video is (still) not showing up on my youtube subscriptions page (unless I select only YB)? I wonder if others are missing it...
🤔
Love it!
Love
Thanks for a great revue. When is the revue with testdrive of a Targa 46 going to come? And can that test be with compare to this boat? Thanks again for great shows
Great tour, Jack. Fabulous boats and, compared to most boats, very reasonable in price. In my opinion of course.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! - Jack
hats off good camara work with the drone
What a machine!
That’s a cracking piece of kit. How do they squeeze so much into it?
What a beauty 🥰
So, when do you test the Targa 46?
Was the range figure with 10% reserve?
Fantastic video
🙏
Perfect boat 👏🎉
Perfect fisher for Norway's fjords...
Great Review. Thanks Jack. Any news on the development of the boat? Will Sargo come out with a Fly Bridge option?
Brilliant boat
Dream boat # 1 👊🔥🔥🔥
Nice little boat.
Magnifique bateau 👍
Finalement je le préfère au TARGA
thats crazy. 1 mio for a movable house you could drive with 36kts or you just stay in there and save fuel^^
Dear god,wish i could afford any boat in this lifetime.. Amen. ❤
Happy! 😁😁
would love to see what Sargo could do with an additional 10ft of length.
For a boat that size to get on plane at 15 knots is pretty impressive to me.
Yes itvis
does this boat have a semi-displacement hull or planning hull
nice video ❤
Thanks 😁
Would have one in a heartbeat if I could more so if they did a flybridge version.
Great tour as always.
There is a fly bridge model or at least has been
@@jonnenne there currently isn’t a flybridge version of the Sargo 45 but as the other models in the range all have fb versions it’s likely they will do one for the 45
love it
what an amazing deal, for 1 Mil EUR ex VAT. This is amazing value
Well, that's just the reality for something that isn't built in china
Would love to see a head to head with this and the targa 46
Which would you choose?
@@YachtbuyerI just watched the review you did of the 46 [still waiting for the sea trial ;)]., And I have to say I would go for the targa.
Nice 👍
What about really rough sea conditions???
What a boat
Nice beautiful
How are those outside droneshots doen? With a mavic 3 or something faster?
Mavic 3 Pro 👍
If that thing had some big ole livewells, fish boxes, outriggers, and rod mounts it would be perfect!
Hi Jack, great tour as always, got a few questions for you. If you had sterndrives fitted would you still be able to opt for the joystick system also if you were ordering one of these would you have sterndrives or IPS and why? Thanks 👍
Joystick docking is available for the Sterndrives. Pretty sure IPS650 are the 480hp engines rather than the 440hp as shown on the graphic.
Yes, you can have the joystick with sterndrives but in my experience it isn’t quite as smooth as IPS, though it’s a lot better than it used to be. I’d personally go for sterndrives as you save a few quid and I prefer the handling. Plus you can trim them up in the shallows - Jack
Thanks for the reply Jack, exactly my thoughts about the sterndrives. Great channel and content, keep it up.
Will do, thanks for the support 👍 - J
What are you actually using such kind of boats for? I mean I understand the usage of 40-50s sailboats, smaller boats like bayliner. But what is the usecase of such size ?
Very cool boat (nice review), just can't think of a use for it (smuggling? Probably not--I hear that's illegal ). Guess I'll look for the next step up.
Lots of good ideas, however things like the raised storage in the cockpit to “put shoes or storage” is never gonna get cleaned (why most don’t do it) and the flip down foot rests at the helm seating are gonna break quickly, the little hinges won’t hold much weight be inevitably will. The use of all the gas struts to hold open windows etc will give out pretty quickly, as will the little arm rests at the dining table. The folding lawn chairs in the cockpit will wear out/mark/scar/eat up that finish on that deck quickly and they look chintzy for a £1,000,000 and decking is costly to repair or replace. The lifting mechanism dining table will wear quickly, and the fabric on the cushions, though looking beautiful, will wear quickly, tweed is not a durable seating material and will stain quickly from the inevitable spill (it’s a boat. There will be spillage). A leatherette or similar material would be much more practical, look great and spills won’t be an issue. The carpeting in the staterooms is a huge mistake (yes, I know, it’s snap in/easy in/out) the snaps inevitably foul, the carpet is hard to clean/traps dirt and hold moisture no matter how diligent you are in tending to it. A hard surface (real/synthetic) is a much better choice. The wood paneling, finished fiberglass walls are top notch, beautifully finished and make the spaces really feel luxurious and the light color gives it a sense of more room than what’s there, fantastic job. The engine room is a master class on accessibility/function and will make servicing a breeze, and when it’s time to repower you won’t need a chainsaw to get to them. The tv is in an awkward position and needs some sort of assist mechanism and at 32 inches is well undersized due to the distance from the seating area. A larger on in a televator in a bulkhead would be a much better option.
I do like the practical angle of your comments.
Can a Sargo 45 explorer be towed? If so what equipment do you need and how difficult is it to launch into the water?
No, it’s too big to tow and launch off a trailer.
If you had a million. Would you buy this, the Targa 46 or the Axopar 45 XC?
You get more boat with Sargo or Targa just my opinion🇫🇮
does it come with an deployable minigun in the front and some .50 cal in the back?
Optional extras 😉
Hi mate i love your show. Decided targa 46 is my fav. However on this vid the opening coordinates aren't accurate i think.... further i cannot find a place in finland called Nauvo.... correct me if wrong
Thanks! The co-ords refer to the town where we were based. I think "Nauvo" is the Swedish for the town; the Finns call it "Nagu" - Jack
@@Yachtbuyer thanks Jack. Yup I can find Nagu on the map.
I’d rather have this over the Freeman 42.
Very nice boat 1M euro seems awfully cheap for such a well equipped vessel. We are definately getting ripped off down here in New Zealand.
