Fairline Yachts Review

Summary

Fairline Yachts doesn’t hesitate to tell potential customers about how it makes its vessels. Its hull is bonded to the deck, and then bolted in place, and it has a specific molding for each of its models. Although most boat manufacturers say that its hulls are sturdy, Fairline Yachts claims to spend more time in making its hulls this strong.

The company sells its boats all over the world, including in the United Kingdom and Spain. Fairline Yachts is one of the largest makers of luxury yachts in the United Kingdom, and it’s known for producing large, expensive and lush boats. Fairline Yachts can vary in length from less than 40 feet to well over 70 feet.

Pricing

Fairline Yachts aren’t cheap. Even many millionaires couldn’t afford most of them. A 2008 Fairline Squadron 78 that has a twin diesel can cost about $2.8 million. A 2006 Fairline Squadron 74 with a twin diesel can cost about $2.6 million. You can find some for much cheaper, though. A 1993 Fairline Squadron 65 with a twin diesel can cost about $580,000. A 2006 Fairline Targa 52 can cost about $800,000, while a 2005 Fairline Phantom can cost about $700,000. A 2002 Fairline Targa 30 can cost about $153,000.

Pros

• Fairline Yachts says it spends more time and effort to make its hulls strong than any other company.
• The boats are made to be luxurious and hold a lot of people.
• They have a large fuel capacity.
• Fairline Yachts come in a wide variety. They can be less than 40 feet long, or they can be more than 70 feet long.

Cons

• Fairline Yachts are very expensive – costing hundreds of thousands of dollars – if not a few million dollars.
• Despite the fact that they’re big and fancy, they probably don’t appeal to everyone — especially not for someone wanting something more simple
• Although Fairline Yachts have a presence all over the world, you may have to go to Turkey or Croatia to purchase the one that you’re looking for.

Featured Models

Fairline Yachts include the Targa 64, 55, 52, 50, 47, 44 and 38; the Squadron 41, 55, 58, 65 and 78; and the Phantom 45 and 40.

Conclusion

Used Fairline boats can be found all over the world, from Turkey to Israel to Croatia. But wherever you go, you’re likely to notice that they’re expensive and luxurious. The company does seem to take pride in its boats. It doesn’t just focus on how its vessels have lush interiors, it also stresses the fact that it makes strong hulls.

However, its boats only target a very specific niche. Most probably could never afford to buy a boat that Fairline Yachts makes. Some could only hope to ride in one someday, and even that may not be very cheap.
