Removing the flybridge changes height rather than the basic platform
The Coupé uses the same newly redeveloped Targa 37 platform but removes the flybridge and replaces it with a cleaner roof profile. Targa says the change lowers the yacht's overall height, making the model more practical for waterways where bridges or other height restrictions can limit the routes available to a conventional flybridge cruiser.
The decision also changes the yacht's visual balance. Rather than adding another helm and social area above the pilothouse, the Coupé keeps all control and living functions lower in the boat, producing a more streamlined appearance while retaining the practical side-deck and pilothouse layout.
A large opening hatch keeps the pilothouse connected to the outside
To prevent the lower roof from making the interior feel enclosed, Targa has added a large fully opening roof hatch and a substantial glass panel above the pilothouse. The combination is intended to bring natural light and ventilation into the main living area while maintaining weather protection when conditions deteriorate.
That flexibility suits the all-season character of the brand. Owners can run the boat with the pilothouse closed and protected during cold or wet conditions, then open the roof when weather improves without sacrificing the structural advantages of a proper wheelhouse.
The new 37 remains firmly inside LYG territory
The redesigned Targa 37 measures 12.55 metres overall with a 3.75-metre beam and an approximate weight of 9,000 kilograms. Targa offers twin Volvo Penta D6 engine packages from 680 to 960 combined horsepower, with quoted top speeds ranging from about 36 to 44 knots.
Those dimensions place the model just above the 12-metre lower boundary of Luxury Yacht Guide. Its combination of two-cabin accommodation, protected pilothouse, high cruising speeds and substantial fuel capacity makes it a compact but genuinely cruising-capable motor yacht rather than a dayboat stretched into the category.
The Coupé broadens the 37 without creating a separate hull
Targa launched the completely redeveloped 37 in autumn 2026 after replacing a model lineage that had remained in production since the late 1990s. The Coupé gives buyers another configuration on the same hull instead of requiring the yard to create a separate low-profile model.
For owners, that means the decision can focus on intended cruising grounds and preferred deck use. Buyers who value an elevated outdoor helm can stay with the flybridge, while those facing height restrictions or preferring a lower centre of gravity and cleaner profile now have a factory alternative.
