2023 Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover Outboard: Premium Dual-Purpose Sportboat for Cruising and Offshore Performance
Overview
The 2023 Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover Outboard represents a refined approach to mid-size recreational boating, blending the open-water capability of a center console with the comfort and cabin amenities traditionally found in larger cruising yachts. At 40.58 feet in length with an 11.5-foot beam, this Formula delivers a versatile platform designed for families and serious boaters who refuse to compromise between performance, comfort, and functionality. Powered by triple Mercury Racing 450R outboard engines, the 380 Crossover OB combines raw horsepower with the reliability and fuel efficiency advantages of modern outboard propulsion. Located in Miami Beach, Florida, this 2023 model carries the remaining balance of Formula's comprehensive five-year Guard Protection coverage through August 7, 2027—a significant ownership advantage for the next buyer. The Crossover designation reflects Formula's philosophy: this is not purely a fishing machine, nor is it strictly a luxury cruiser. Instead, it occupies the practical middle ground where serious boaters want offshore capability, genuine cabin sleeping accommodations, full galley facilities, and the confidence to run in challenging conditions without sacrificing the joy of open-air boating and entertaining. The 380's hull design, beam-to-length ratio, and weight distribution support this dual-purpose mission effectively, and the equipment selection on this particular example reinforces that commitment to balanced, capable boating.
Propulsion and Performance Architecture
The triple Mercury Racing 450R outboard engine configuration represents the pinnacle of modern outboard engineering. Each 450-horsepower engine delivers 1,350 combined horsepower, positioning this yacht firmly in the high-performance category while maintaining the serviceability, warranty support, and parts availability that Mercury's racing division ensures. Outboard propulsion on a 40-foot vessel offers distinct advantages: shallow-draft operation (3.58 feet), simplified maintenance compared to traditional inboards, easier haulout and engine service, and the ability to trim engines up for beach or shallow-water exploration. The joystick control system transforms helm operation, especially in tight spaces, docking, and slow-speed maneuvering. Rather than traditional dual throttle and steering wheels, the joystick integrates engine synchronization, directional control, and dynamic positioning into a single intuitive interface. For a 40-footer with this beam and weight, joystick control reduces crew coordination demands and dramatically improves precision when docking or holding position in current or wind. This is particularly valuable for a dual-purpose vessel where the owner might transition from aggressive offshore running to careful marina navigation within the same outing.
Helm, Navigation, and Command Center
The helm station reflects Formula's understanding that modern boaters demand integrated, user-friendly electronics. Twin Garmin AXIOM+ 12-inch chartplotters provide redundant navigation capability, real-time sonar integration, and seamless chart updates via the US Maps database. The AXIOM+ platform supports networking with other Garmin systems, live weather overlays, and autopilot integration—critical features for offshore work and long-distance cruising where situational awareness and autopilot efficiency directly impact fuel consumption and crew fatigue. The dashboard layout incorporates Gray Onyx Corian surfaces, a material choice that balances aesthetics with practical marine durability. Charcoal gel coating on the dash panels reduces glare and provides a professional, modern appearance. The helm area integrates VHF radio with antenna, standard shore power connection for 120V systems, and a comprehensive electrical architecture that supports the boat's diverse 120V and 12V loads. Underwater lighting enhances nighttime operation and adds a distinctive visual signature when anchored or docked. The bow thruster (standard equipment) provides additional maneuvering authority at idle speeds, particularly valuable when operating in confined waters or when wind and current challenge single-axis propulsion control. Combined with joystick helm operation, the bow thruster creates a highly responsive vessel that handles like a much smaller boat despite its 40-foot length and considerable displacement.
Cockpit Design and Entertainment Spaces
The Formula 380 Crossover OB prioritizes cockpit functionality and social space. The aft cockpit features a molded-in cooler—a practical addition that eliminates portable cooler clutter and integrates beverage storage into the deck architecture. The electric grill (120V) extends entertaining capability, allowing the owner to prepare meals while anchored or docked without firing up the galley stove. An 18,000 BTU cockpit air conditioning unit (120V) ensures comfort during hot-weather anchoring or when the boat is docked at a marina, a feature that transforms the aft deck into a genuinely usable entertaining space even in Miami's subtropical climate. The aft enclosure (black, standard) protects the cockpit from spray, wind, and weather while maintaining visibility and ventilation. The bow cockpit cover (black) protects the foredeck and bow seating area when the vessel is unoccupied. These fabric systems preserve the boat's appearance and extend the life of upholstery and hardware. Seating throughout the cockpit reflects Formula's material and color strategy: Slate and Black vinyl decking provides durability and easy maintenance, while Prism mid-seat upholstery and Nexus Flat Black alcove seating create visual interest and comfort. The bow seating area features a peninsula configuration, allowing multiple occupants to relax and enjoy the view during cruising or anchoring. Docking lights integrated into the bow area improve nighttime visibility and safety during low-light maneuvering.
Cabin and Interior Accommodations
The 380 Crossover OB's cabin represents a genuine sleeping and living space, not a minimal berth tucked under a hardtop. The peninsula cabin seating (upper level) provides comfortable lounging during inclement weather or when the boat is at rest. The cabin features FormulaFlex décor with a gray base, maintaining visual continuity with the cockpit's sophisticated color palette. Natural walnut doors and walnut-grain cabin flooring introduce warm, traditional marine aesthetics that contrast beautifully with the modern gray and metallic accents throughout. The cabin includes Gray Onyx Corian surfaces (matching the helm area), ensuring consistent material quality and ease of cleaning. The sleeping area features a Luciano Tuxedo mattress, indicating a commitment to genuine comfort rather than basic bunking. Cabin upholstery includes Vale Tuxedo shams and 12x16-inch pillows in Glittery Pleasure Platinum, balancing luxury aesthetics with marine practicality. Cabin ventilation and climate control integrate with the central air conditioning system and the 7.5 kW Lowco gas generator (120V), which powers the boat's 120V infrastructure when operating away from shore power. The automatic outboard flushing system protects the engines during freshwater operation, and the macerator and holding tank system manages waste with modern marine sanitation standards.
Galley, Head, and Utility Systems
The galley functionality supports extended cruising and entertaining. The 43-gallon freshwater capacity provides adequate supply for a family or entertaining group during multi-day trips, while the 250-gallon fuel capacity ensures extended range and reduced refueling frequency. The central vacuum system (120V) simplifies cabin cleaning and reduces the need for portable equipment storage. The head compartment includes a macerator system and holding tank, meeting modern environmental regulations and enabling responsible cruising. The cabin Corian surfaces and vinyl flooring simplify cleaning and maintenance, critical features in the marine environment where moisture and salt exposure challenge traditional materials.
Electronics and Entertainment
Beyond navigation, the boat integrates modern entertainment systems. JL Audio M6 cockpit speakers with bow-mounted speakers (BSW) provide high-quality sound for music and communication. The audio system integrates with the electrical architecture, powered by shore power when docked or the generator during cruising. This allows the owner to enjoy music and entertainment without running the main engines, a practical feature for anchoring and entertaining.
Exterior Aesthetics and Protection
The color and graphic scheme reflects Formula's design language and this boat's premium positioning. The triple Mercury Racing 450R engines feature white cowls with multi-color accents, including deep red striping and the Flagship graphic in deep red. The hull incorporates Phantom Black as the primary color, with Silver Diamond Metallic accents (STP 2, 11, and 13) and Deep Red graphic elements (STP 12). This three-tone approach creates visual depth and sophistication, distinguishing this example from more basic configurations. The main accent color is Liquid Silver, with deep red accent piping and charcoal lower piping, creating a cohesive design narrative from the helm to the transom. The windshield includes Lexan side wings, improving visibility and weather protection during high

380 Super Sport Crossover OB
What type of boat is the 2023 Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover, and what makes it different from other 40-foot center consoles?
The 2023 Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover is a premium dual-purpose center console that bridges fishing and family cruising capabilities. The "Crossover" designation indicates Formula engineered this model to excel in both offshore fishing scenarios and extended cruising comfort, rather than specializing exclusively in one role. At 40.58 feet with an 11.5-foot beam, it offers the stability and seakeeping of a larger vessel while maintaining the maneuverability and open-water visibility of a center console design. This hybrid approach appeals to buyers who want serious fishing performance without sacrificing the cabin accommodations and onboard amenities that matter for multi-day trips or family outings.
What is the engine configuration on this Formula 380, and how does triple Mercury 450R power affect performance and fuel efficiency?
This vessel is powered by a triple Mercury Racing 450R outboard configuration, delivering 1,350 total horsepower. The Mercury Racing 450R is a high-output, fuel-injected four-stroke engine designed for both speed and reliability in offshore conditions. Running three of these engines provides redundancy—if one engine requires service, the boat remains fully capable on two engines—while the triple setup distributes load evenly across the transom for balanced handling. Outboard power offers advantages over traditional inboard diesel, including easier maintenance, no engine room heat, and more usable interior space. The 250-gallon fuel capacity supports extended cruising ranges at economical displacement speeds or delivers exhilarating performance at higher throttle settings.
Does the 2023 Formula 380 have a tower, and what electronics and control systems are included for fishing and navigation?
The listing does not indicate a tower installation on this particular vessel. However, the boat is equipped with twin Garmin AXIOM+ 12 chartplotters with US mapping, providing comprehensive navigation, fish-finding sonar integration, and route planning across both screens. The helm features joystick control, which is a premium steering system that allows single-handed boat maneuvering at low speeds—a significant advantage when positioning for fishing marks, docking, or precise anchoring. The VHF radio with antenna ensures communication capability, and the underwater lighting system adds visibility for night operation. This electronics suite supports both serious offshore fishing navigation and safe, confident cruising in varied conditions.
What is the cabin layout and sleeping configuration on the Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover?
The cabin features a peninsula-style upper-level berth (labeled "Cabin Seating, Peninsula UL" in the specifications), providing a comfortable sleeping arrangement for overnight cruising. The interior is appointed with high-end finishes including gray onyx Corian countertops, natural walnut doors and flooring, and a Luciano Tuxedo mattress, creating a refined aesthetic that balances durability with luxury. The cabin includes a gray onyx Corian head (bathroom) and dedicated storage, making the space functional for extended time away from the dock. This configuration suits buyers planning multi-day fishing trips or family cruises who want proper sleeping quarters without the weight and complexity of a full master stateroom.
What cockpit features and amenities does the Formula 380 offer for fishing and entertaining?
The aft cockpit is designed as a working and entertaining space with several integrated features. A molded-in cooler keeps beverages and catch cold without consuming deck space, while the electric grill allows onboard meal preparation. The 18,000 BTU cockpit air conditioning (120V) keeps the aft area comfortable during hot weather or when anchored, and the central vacuum sweeper system maintains cleanliness on the slate and black vinyl deck. A YETI cooler and fender clips are included, and the aft enclosure with black canvas provides weather protection. The JL Audio M6 cockpit speakers with bow subwoofer upgrade deliver quality sound for entertainment. These features transform the cockpit into a functional space for both serious fishing operations and social entertaining.
What are the freshwater and fuel capacities, and how do they support extended cruising?
The Formula 380 carries 250 gallons of fuel and 43 gallons of fresh water. The 250-gallon fuel capacity is substantial for a 40-foot center console and supports extended offshore cruising ranges, depending on cruising speed and sea conditions. At displacement or economical cruising speeds, this fuel volume can enable multi-day trips to distant fishing grounds or coastal destinations. The 43-gallon fresh water capacity is adequate for a vessel of this size with a cabin and head, supporting showers, galley use, and head operation for several days, particularly when supplemented by the shorepower connection (120V standard) that allows water tank refilling while docked. This combination of fuel and water capacity positions the boat for weekend getaways and longer adventures.
What onboard power systems are available, and how do they support comfort and convenience?
The Formula 380 includes a 7.5kW gas generator (Lowco brand) that supplies 120V power for air conditioning, galley appliances, and other conveniences when away from the dock. Shorepower (120V standard) allows the boat to connect to marina pedestals for unlimited power while docked, eliminating generator runtime. The automatic outboard flushing system protects the engines from saltwater corrosion by automatically cycling fresh water through the cooling passages after engine shutdown. The vacuum holding tank with macerator system handles head waste efficiently and can be pumped out at marinas. These systems collectively support comfortable, extended cruising with minimal maintenance burden and reliable operation in both fresh and saltwater environments.
What is the bow thruster, and why is it valuable on a 40-foot center console?
The Formula 380 includes a standard bow thruster, an electric propulsion unit mounted in the bow that allows the front of the boat to move sideways without using the main engines. On a 40-foot vessel, a bow thruster dramatically simplifies docking, anchoring, and maneuvering in tight spaces—especially in crowded marinas or when wind and current are challenging. Combined with the joystick control at the helm, the bow thruster enables one-person operation of the boat with precision and confidence. This feature is particularly valuable for buyers who may operate the boat solo or in situations where traditional steering and throttle coordination would be more demanding. It enhances safety and reduces stress during low-speed maneuvering.
What interior design and décor options are specified on this particular Formula 380?
This vessel showcases Formula's premium customization with a cohesive design theme. The cabin and cockpit feature gray onyx Corian countertops and cabinetry, natural walnut flooring and doors, and a moondust base vinyl with liquid silver accents and deep red accent piping. The seating includes prism-colored mid-seat and headrest fabrics, with a Luciano Tuxedo mattress and Vale Tuxedo pillows in the cabin. The helm dash is charcoal black gel with a black alcove, and the cockpit includes a SureShade black canvas system for sun protection. The multi-color cowl accents on the engines (deep red) and the flagship graphic in deep red tie the exterior to the interior color scheme. This level of customization reflects a buyer who prioritized aesthetic cohesion and premium finishes throughout the vessel.
What is included in the Formula Guard Protection, and what does the buyer need to know about ownership transfer?
The vessel includes the balance of Formula's 5-year Guard Protection plan, which extends through August 7, 2027. This protection benefit transfers to the new owner, provided the buyer completes the ownership transfer procedure with Formula directly. The buyer is responsible for initiating and managing this transfer process—Formula will provide specific instructions on how to register the new ownership and ensure the protection remains active. This remaining coverage period provides peace of mind during the early years of ownership and should be factored into the overall value proposition of purchasing this 2023 model.
Who is the ideal buyer for the 2023 Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover, and what boating lifestyle does it support?
The Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover appeals to buyers who want a capable offshore fishing platform without sacrificing comfort, entertainment, and family cruising capability. This vessel suits buyers planning multi-day trips to distant fishing grounds, weekend coastal cruises with family or friends, and entertaining at anchor. The triple Mercury Racing 450R power supports confident offshore performance and quick transits, while the cabin, head, and galley enable extended time away from the dock. The joystick control and bow thruster make solo or two-person operation practical, and the integrated cockpit amenities (cooler, grill, air conditioning, sound system) support both working fishing and social entertaining. This boat is ideal for experienced boaters who value versatility, appreciate premium finishes, and want a single vessel that excels at fishing, cruising, and entertaining without compromise.
