On Deck

The cockpit features a teak floor, wonderful cockpit cushions, a foldable table that conveniently tucks away, and a wet bar equipped with a fridge and grill. He appreciated the social spaces the yacht offers, including a raised seating area that allows passengers to engage with the driver while underway. The canvas sliding roof was another positive point, providing an open feel with plenty of light and air. At the helm, a main features is the joystick control, which facilitates easy maneuvering of the yacht.

On the foredeck, the main feature are sunbathing cushions, along with neatly tucked-away anchor handling kit, and a hatch above the forward bed.

Interior

Transitioning to the interior of the yacht, there is a saloon area opposite the galley, which would make a cozy spot to relax and eat. There are extra cushions that can convert the saloon table here into another bed. Nick also appreciated the high-quality Fairline finish of the interiors and the ample storage available.

The master cabin is a decent size for a 45-foot sports boat and comes with its own ensuite. The yacht's second cabin features scissor beds, which can be separated or joined together to form a double bed, providing flexibility for different guest scenarios.

Performance

The engine room, accessed via steps, contains two Volvo Penta IPS-650 engines with 480 horsepower each, capable of propelling the yacht to around 30 knots. While the engine room is a bit cramped due to the tender garage above, it was configured intelligently for easy checks and maintenance.

In Summary

Overall, Nick seemed impressed with the Fairline Targa 45 Open's design, functionality, and the high-quality finish. He found it to have a very different character from the Targa 45 GT, making the two models distinct choices for potential buyers.
