Do you have that need for speed, but also like to entertain guests on daytime cruises? Rod’s Jewel, a 45-foot 2017 Nor-Tech 450SS, has a top speed of 85 knots plus plenty of room for a bevy of friends and family to enjoy time on the water. The vessel is located in Cortez, Florida and offered by Galati Yacht Sales for $649,900.
Four Mercury Verado outboards with a combined 1,600 horsepower give the vessel a top speed of 85 knots, but dialing it back to a more comfortable 35-knot cruise speed will increase fuel efficiency and range. The skipper has a 360-degree view from the centerline helm and easy access to the following electrical and navigation systems:
- Two 22-inch Garmin displays
- Garmin auto pilot
- Garmin radar
- Garmin VHF
- Fusion Stereo with all JL speakers and subs throughout
- Bow and stern thrusters
- Northern Lights generator

Three helm seats with footrests are behind the centerline console. Guests can relax on two forward facing settees or an aft facing settee in the cockpit, two reclining settees in front of the helm or a wrap around sofa in the bow. There is a wet bar in the cockpit as well. The sleek paint scheme, Mercedes Iridium Silver with black and white accents, will turn heads.
Belowdeck is the master stateroom that can accommodate two guests with a private head that features a sink and stand-up shower. The centerline berth converts into a wraparound settee.

Where is Rod’s Jewel located? The yacht is currently lying in Cortez, Florida.
