Fairline Targa 40 – Stylish, Spacious & Thrilling to Drive
This is an exceptional Fairline Targa 40 and probably one of the best examples available. It offers everything you could want in a stylish and capable sports cruiser that has had an extensive refurbishment in the past 18 months. Powered by twin Volvo KAD 44 engines that have had a major overhaul and equipped with both bow and stern thrusters, she is remarkably easy to handle and a true joy to drive. The deep V hull—designed by the renowned Bernard Olesinski—delivers a smooth yet exhilarating ride, while excellent visibility from the helm and sporty responsiveness make every journey a pleasure.
Below deck, you’ll find luxurious and spacious living accommodation, ideal for extended cruising or weekends away. Above, the large and well-appointed cockpit features ample seating and dining space—perfect for entertaining friends or enjoying relaxed family outings.
This boat has just had both engines serviced and the drives rebuilt, ensuring she is mechanically sound and ready for her next adventure. The addition of a brand new navigation suite makes passage planning and navigation straightforward and stress-free and the replacement of nearly all fabrics and canvass gives it an ultra modern and nearly new boat feel.
The Targa 40 is one of Fairline’s most popular models, and with good reason. Combining ageless sports styling, high-quality craftsmanship, and a layout that maximises both comfort and functionality, this is a boat that offers something for everyone—whether you're into high-speed cruising or laid-back coastal exploration.
Currently lying in Southampton and available for viewings. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this exceptional sports cruiser.
