Targa 37 Review (2020 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Targa 37 features sturdy D-section fendering that protects the boat from damage.  The ease of boarding the boat is showcased due to its low sides and functional design.

Various options available for the Targa 37 are explored. There is an extended fly bridge option, and flexibility in seating arrangements. The process of getting the boat ready to go is straightforward, with simple covers to remove.

Highlighted is the matte black finish of the arch, the radar, TV aerial, and antenna for VHF radio. The side decks have generous width and depth, making them safe and accessible. The windshields are forward sloping with sturdy wipers, which align with the Finnish ethos of boating in any conditions.

The interior helm is designed for single-handed driving. Practical features include an adjustable helm seat and engine controls that tilt for easier reach. The small galley is bythe helm, and includes a two-burner hob, sink, and a cooker.

The forward cabin has V-berths, with the option for a center-line double bed, and ensuite. There is a hanging locker, drawers, and plenty of storage spaces.

In the saloon area, there is a dynamic seating arrangement that can be adjusted for cruising or socializing. A TV rises out of a cabinet here. Aft, there is a separate sleeping area and ensuite.

The Targa 37 has a pair of Volvo Penta D6-440 horsepower engines, with the option for IPS. The boat has impressive speed and the capability to maintain speed in choppy conditions due to its deep V-hull. 

Throughout the tour, Nick's admiration for the Targa 37's functional design and practicality is evident. He appreciates the boat's simplicity and ease of use, highlighting its ability to be used single-handedly, its flexible seating arrangements, and its generous storage spaces. He also values its speed and performance in various conditions. However, he candidly states that it may not be the best choice for those seeking a stylish boat.
