Fairline Targa 45 GT Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 45 GT delivers speeds of up to 33 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Fairline 45 GT offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Prestige 460S and Bavaria Yachts 420 Coupé, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 45 GT benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a sofa is a standout. The Azimut 43 and Galeon 485 HTS, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 7 guests in 2 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Fairline 45 GT has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 19 knots and a top speed of 33 knots. The Fairline 45 GT emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Windy Boats W46 which has an impressive cruising speed of 31 knots powered by its twin 435hp Volvo Penta IPS600 engines and can reach a top speed of 40 knots. This is closely followed by the Sessa Marine C44 with a notable cruising speed of 28 knots and top speed of 36 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Bavaria Yachts S45 HT impresses with its extensive range of 1,404 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Jeanneau 14, Galeon 485 HTS and Galeon 450 HTC all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Windy Boats W46 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 40 knots and cruising speed of 31 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Fairline Targa 45 GT stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
