Fairline
Fairline is a British luxury motor-yacht builder based in Oundle, Northamptonshire. Its history begins with Oundle Marina and the launch of the first Fairline 19 in 1967. The company has since developed a long-running portfolio of express cruisers and flybridge yachts, with the Targa and Squadron names becoming central to the modern range.
British production and design
Fairline describes its yachts as hand-built and combines British manufacturing with contemporary exterior design. The current portfolio spans the F//LINE, Targa, Phantom and Squadron families, giving buyers a choice between open sports-cruiser layouts and larger flybridge-oriented yachts.
Targa 45 OPEN
Luxury Yacht Guide's first Fairline production record is the Fairline Targa 45 OPEN. At 14.53 metres overall it sits well inside the site's 12.00–23.99 metre scope. The official specification lists four berths, twin Volvo Penta IPS650 diesel propulsion, 1,300 litres of fuel and a performance estimate of 32 knots.
Where Fairline fits
Fairline is relevant to buyers who want a recognisable British production-yacht marque with a strong express-cruiser and flybridge tradition. The Targa 45 OPEN represents the sporting side of that range, while larger Fairline models provide future expansion opportunities within Luxury Yacht Guide's sub-24-metre catalogue.
