Broker comments
The Targa 39 is one of those boats that is synonymous with British built sports cruisers, from the boards one of the best known British motorboat designers this makes it a popular choice for those seeking a blend of performance, comfort, and style. Laid out with two cabins and saloon it will happily accommodate four with the option for with the saloon seating conversion. On deck there is plenty of space around the cockpit with forward and aft seating as well as the helm position. The current and third owner has really enjoyed their time with her and annual maintenance has been carried out as well as upgrades when required. 'Excelsis' is a great opportunity for someone looking to extend their cruising horizons.
