Also available as a ½ Share - Enquire NowThis 2003 Fairline Targa 53 is a superb example of one of Fairline’s celebrated sports cruisers, combining exhilarating performance with the comfort and practicality expected of a premium cruising yacht. Finished in a striking blue hull with a beautifully presented premium interior, she delivers genuine presence on the water while retaining the timeless, unmistakable Targa styling. Her twin Volvo Penta D12 engines, each producing 615hp and professionally overhauled in 2022, provide impressive performance and confidence at sea, while her renowned hull design offers exceptional seakeeping and a composed ride in a wide range of conditions. Step aboard and the emphasis on entertaining is immediately apparent. The spacious cockpit comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests and is exceptionally well equipped for extended days afloat, with substantial drinks storage, BBQ facilities, generous sunbeds and space for Al Fresco dining. The tender garage is equipped with a powered launch and recovery system and is suitable for a Williams 280 Jet RIB, which is available by separate negotiation. Webasto heating, installed in 2023, together with a canopy cover, ensures she remains equally enjoyable whether cruising in the height of summer or during the shoulder seasons. Inside, the Targa’s cleverly designed three-cabin accommodation offers considerably more space and versatility than her sporty profile might suggest. The luxurious forward master suite benefits from an ensuite with walk-in shower, while separate port and starboard twin cabins provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests. With her powerful overhauled Volvo Penta D12s, extensive upgrades, exceptional equipment levels, distinctive blue hull and highly desirable three-cabin layout, this Targa represents an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a capable, stylish and well-equipped sports cruiser with the pedigree to make every passage an occasion.
