The Fairline Targa 63 GTO, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Closely followed by, the Fairline Targa 63 GTO with a respectable cruising speed of knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Fairline Targa 63 GTO, with the slowest cruising speed of knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
