The Fairline Phantom 40 is a stylish luxury flybridge cruiser from this highly regarded yard at arguably the height of its success! Offering excellent accommodation and sparkling performance they are considered by many to be the benchmark flybridge cruiser at this size, and 'Jilly B' is an excellent example of her kind fitted with the superb Volvo Penta D6-435 engine option. She has been lightly used, is beautifully presented, and her inventory includes bow and stern thrusters with remote control, automatic trim tabs, diesel heating, a holding tank, electric windlass, and more!

Construction
Fairline Phantom 40 built by Fairline Boats Ltd in 2007 to a Bernard Olesinski design, and first launched in 2008. White GRP planing hull, deck, and superstructure, hand-laid with unidirectional, biaxial, and woven rovings and using isophthalic gelcoat and resins. Large flybridge with ample seating upholstered in high-quality marine upholstery. Aft cockpit with teak-laid sole and walk-through transom to the moulded teak-laid bathing platform. Teak-effect side decks.
'Jilly B' is presented in superb condition for her age and appears to have been very well maintained and lightly used, making her likely to be one of the best examples of her type, and of boats in her class. Her price has recently been reduced to reflect that her next owner may decide to treat her to a new cockpit enclosure, although the current one remains very serviceable.
