Fairline Targa 40 will Debut in the USA at FLIBS 2024

Fairline Americas to unveil the Targa 40 at the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). 

The renowned British luxury motor yacht builder Fairline will also showcase an impressive line-up including the Targa 45 OPEN sports boat, Phantom 65 sports bridge boat, and the flybridge yacht Squadron 68. FLIBS 2024 is scheduled to take place from October 30 to November 3.

The Fairline Targa 40, launched earlier this year at boot Düsseldorf, has quickly become a standout in the yachting world, largely due to its innovative power-down beach club balcony. This model blends a bold exterior design with modern, sporty aesthetics. Its open cockpit, paired with a hardtop and electric canvas sunroof, provides exceptional versatility and connectivity to the surrounding environment.

In a review by Jack Haines for YachtBuyer, the Targa 40 earned a five-star rating for its impressive deck spaces, praising its design that ensures an abundance of natural light and unobstructed water views throughout the interior. The yacht’s layout and style deliver a feeling of space and openness, making it a hit for yacht buyers seeking both luxury and functionality.

We're thrilled to introduce the Targa 40 to the US market at this prestigious show. This debut marks a significant milestone in Fairline's new model development program. The Targa 40's innovative design creates the perception of a much larger yacht, a feature that has resonated strongly with buyers since its launch. We can’t wait to see how visitors react to it in person."

In addition to the Targa 40, Fairline will showcase a selection of its renowned models at the Florida boat show, including the Targa 45 OPEN, Phantom 65, and Squadron 68.

The Fairline Targa 45 OPEN sports motor cruiser is all about fun in the sun, weekends away, and an exhilarating 30-35 knots ride, ideal for yacht buyers on the Florida coast. The 'open' hardtop design includes a massive sunroof, so you can feel completely open to the elements or quickly and easily enclosed.

The Phantom 65, Fairline's inaugural sports bridge yacht, is designed for an exceptional cruising experience, drawing inspiration from the award-winning Targa 65. It features a spacious, integrated garage that accommodates a Williams 345 SportJet tender without compromising the yacht's sleek aesthetics. This design offers owners the flexibility to enjoy water sports like skiing and wakeboarding or to explore nearby islands for dining.

Additionally, Fairline provides extensive customization options, allowing buyers to tailor the Phantom 65 to their specific preferences, enhancing the overall ownership experience. The Phantom 65 was reviewed by YachtBuyer's Jack Haines.

The Fairline Squadron 68 is an impressive flybridge yacht, that can easily reach a 30kn top speed. Key features include a spacious main deck with multiple entertaining areas, a newly designed galley that maximizes workspace, and an interior available in three or four-cabin layouts, each designed to provide ample light and space, including a luxurious owner's cabin with a king-sized bed and a sociable bar that extends into the cockpit. 

The Fairline Squadron 68 has received notable recognition in the yachting industry, winning the Best Interior Design award at the World Yachts Trophies 2019. Additionally, it was a finalist for the Flybridge (over 60ft) category at the Motor Boat Awards 2020. Yacht buyers interested in the Squadron 58 can watch the review by YachtBuyer's Jack Haines
