It’s fantastic to be recognised internationally at such a prestigious event with stunning boats from all over the world. Everyone at Fairline can be very proud that each time we have entered these prestigious awards, we have won. This includes the 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 awards, and hopefully in many years to come.”The Phantom 65 is Fairline’s first sportbridge yacht bringing an incredibly elegant and modern design to the model range. It offers a variety of social spaces including al-fresco dining, entertaining and lounging space for guests to soak up the sun. Synchronising the volume that is seen on the Squadron, the Phantom brings the streamlined proportions of a Targa, epitomising luxury, handling, performance and space.The exterior of the Phantom 65 is based on the technical platform of the award-winning Targa 65 featuring sleek lines and large, expansive hull glazing teamed with an expansive sunroof to bathe the interior with natural light. It also boats a tender garage suitable for a Williams 345 SportJet and offers two engine options – twin Caterpillar C18-1150’s with 31-knot performance, or twin V12 Caterpillar C32-1622’s reaching 37 knots.The main deck of the Phantom 65 is made for flexible entertaining.

FAIRLINE TARGA 40: EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK
Fairline has given Motor Boat & Yachting an exclusive preview of its all-new Fairline Targa 40 prior to a public unveiling later this month.The images reveal a sleek hard top sportscruiser that shares a number of design features with both the smaller F//Line 33 and the all-new Fairline Phantom 65 as well as a few tricks of its own, including a drop-down terrace.As expected, the new Fairline Targa 40 is a bigger boat than the old Targa 38 in all areas. Its sheerline is around 200mm taller, freeing up headroom of around 6ft 6in (1.98m) throughout most of the lower deck.It’s longer too – up from 36ft 10in (11.22m) to 39ft 3in (11.96m). This translates to around 20% more internal volume than the Fairline Targa 38.Fairline’s in-house designer, Christian Gott, has done a fine job of creating that extra space while maintaining and updating the sporty looks that were such an integral part of the T38’s appeal.The new Targa 40’s snub-nosed bow bears an obvious family resemblance to the F//Line 33, while its window shapes echo those of the new Phantom 65 sportsbridge being launched at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival.While the new Fairline Targa 40 will initially only be available with a hard top, it features a huge canvas sunroof that retracts most of the way back to the radar arch to give the feeling of an open boat.A large single-pane windshield and extended side glazing further enhances the sensation of being connected to the water. That becomes even more pronounced at the stern where the fold-down quarter deck on the starboard side helps create a mini beach club.The T40’s asymmetric cockpit is another shared trait with the Phantom 65 and features aft seat backrests set at a slight angle that create a marginally longer sunbed to port than to starboard. These backrests also slide forward to extend both sunbeds at the expense of the aft seats.The cockpit is flatter than the old 38’s too. There are two steps up from the bathing platform through a central walkway but thereafter the cockpit sole is flat all the way forward to the helm station.There’s a generous three-sided dinette to port, which flares out on both sides in line with a fold-away table. A modular seat to starboard can be pulled up to join the table or repositioned to face out over the terrace. The wet bar is tucked behind the two helm seats.An L-shaped chaise longue to port allows one other person to sit up front facing forward or stretch out facing aft under the open sunroof. Another big sunpad on the foredeck provides more space to soak up rays but there’s also a bench and sunken footwell for a couple to enjoy a sundowner.The interior has some clever touches, too, that enhance perceived space. For instance, the bulkhead between the surprisingly large amidships lower saloon and the owner’s cabin in the bow is set at an angle of 9°, which makes for more space in the shared shower room to port and in the forward cabin’s hanging locker.The galley work surface also extends behind the shower stall, making a nook for things like kettles and coffee makers.The second cabin runs athwartships under the cockpit so is likely to have limited headroom over the beds but appears to have standing headroom and plenty of floor space along the port side. Both beds slide together to create a double when needed.Source: Motor Boat & Yachting...

F//LINE 33: ON BOARD THE NEW FAIRLINE BOATS TENDER
Standing at the helm of the F//LINE 33, wind rushing through my hair, I get the nod, that subtle signal that means “go ahead, open up and let her rip”. I push the throttle and we take off like a rocket over the flat calm water off Cannes. As the speed creeps upwards of 30 knots, I let out a “Woohoo!” – and I don’t feel the least bit embarrassed about squealing like a child. The F//LINE 33 from UK builder Fairline Yachts is simply great fun to drive.The blend of performance and simple operation was baked into the brief for the F//LINE 33. The UK builder wanted the new boat to be a multitasker: exhilarating or calm when needs be; capable of high speed, but not an out-and- out raceboat. “Whether the owner has young children on board or wishes to experience the thrill of speeding at 48 knots, we wanted to give them the freedom to have any boating experience they want,” says Wayne Huntley, Fairline’s head of design and engineering.Source: Boat International...

FAIRLINE YACHTS ANNOUNCES NEW MODEL: TARGA 58 GTB
Beach clubs were once the preserve of the superyacht, but no more – with Fairline the first British yard to embrace this waterside design feature on its forthcoming Targa 58 GTB.Due to launch at the 2020 Cannes Yachting Festival, this 60ft Alberto-Mancini designed cruiser will be powered by a range of twin Volvo, MAN and Caterpillar engine options, with the biggest offering an estimated top speed of 36 knots.But the star of the show is the beach club itself – its fold-out ‘wings’ expand the bathing platform to provide an enviable entertaining platform, with a pull-out BBQ and room to store a Williams 345 jet tender alongside a Seadoo Spark. What’s more, the bathing platform can extend aft to provide space for sunloungers or drop into the water to help launch the tender.Wayne Huntley, design and engineering director at Fairline Yachts, said: “The Targa 58 GTB truly showcases our design ethos of creating a close connection to the water.“We strive to be at the forefront of yacht innovation, and a beach club is typically a feature exclusive to yachts over 80ft, [so] to provide this enhanced boating experience in the 60ft class is something we are very proud of.”...

FAIRLINE TARGA 43 OPEN TAKES SHAPE
New imagery of the Fairline Targa 43 Open gives the clearest idea yet of how this new entry-level Targa will look when it hits the water in the spring.Penned by Alberto Mancini, the same man who drew the Targa 63 GTO, the 43 Open sports a rakish roofline with one-piece saloon windows and the new Fairline family hull windows that deliver such a striking side-on profile.Despite its name the 43 Open has a roof over the cockpit, though being a folding canvas affair the aperture once peeled back is generous and the lack of cockpit doors should make for a main deck that feels brilliantly open to the elements.Beneath the centrally mounted sunpad there is a tender garage large enough for a Williams Minijet with steps either side leading up to the cockpit and sidedecks.The central section of the cockpit is dominated by a generous dinette and wetbar with space forward for twin helm seats to starboard and a sheltered L-shaped seating pod to port that should prove a great spot for guests to congregate on passage.Below decks customers have the choice of Fairline’s familiar trim levels (Amalfi, Capri, Hamptons and St.Tropez) and the option to have the master cabin forward or amidships. ...
