Fairline Targa 45 OPEN overview
The Fairline Targa 45 OPEN is a 14.53-metre sports cruiser built around an open cockpit and retractable roof arrangement. It combines the exterior character expected of the Targa family with genuine overnight accommodation, placing it between smaller dayboats and larger enclosed cruising yachts.
Dimensions and accommodation
Fairline publishes an overall length of 14.53 metres including the pulpit and submersible platform, a beam of 4.32 metres and a loaded draft of 1.15 metres. The official specification lists four berths. Luxury Yacht Guide therefore records the verified dimensions but does not infer a cabin count that is not stated in the technical table.
Propulsion and performance
The current specification uses twin Volvo Penta IPS650 D6-480 diesel engines with a combined published output of 960 hp. Fairline gives a performance estimate of 32 knots. Fuel capacity is 1,300 litres and fresh-water capacity, including the calorifier, is 438 litres.
Weight and operating context
Fairline publishes an approximate dry weight of 12,500 kg. Because the Luxury Yacht Guide displacement field does not distinguish dry weight from loaded displacement, that figure remains in the editorial record rather than being forced into the generic structured displacement field.
Buyer context
The Targa 45 OPEN is most relevant to owners seeking an open sports-cruiser experience with pod-drive manoeuvrability and enough accommodation for weekends aboard. It provides a useful comparison with similar 14–15 metre British and Italian production yachts.
