Fairline Targa 40 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 Targa 40 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots.

Accommodation

The Fairline Targa 40 offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of five ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use. Conversely, some of its rivals like the Princess V40, Regal Boats 42 Grande Coupé, Sessa Marine C38, Princess V39, Regal Boats 38 Grande Coupé, Bavaria Yachts SR41 HT, Formula Boats 37, Beneteau Yachts Gran Turismo 41, Sealine S390, Sessa Marine C3X-IB and Jeanneau DB/37 with their limited cabin configurations for four guests, may be better suited for day boating enthusiasts who prioritize open-water adventures and occasional overnight escapes.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sessa Marine C38 impresses with its extensive range of 600 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Formula Boats 37 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sessa Marine C38 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 35 knots. Meanwhile, the Formula Boats 37 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 49 knots.
