Manufacturer Provided Description
 The press has been unstinting in its praise for the Targa 38 ever since its launch day with special praise for the GT, retractable roof version and this perfectly formed express cruiser has already captured the hearts of many owners. She’s captured a clutch of awards throughout Europe too, deservedly winning Motorboat of the Year in her nominated categories. Fairline has a strong history of producing superlative boats below 40 feet in length and this Targa advances the tradition still further, incorporating the many technical innovations and quality advances that have already proved so successful on the larger models. The Targa 38 handles every bit as well as her looks promise and she delivers impressively quiet and powerful performance. The swept-back roof and flowing lines of this boat give a razor sharp finish, while the long, panoramic hull windows add to the distinctive, streamlined look. The real surprise though, is just how much useable space and capability we’ve managed to incorporate into this elegant 38-foot package to create a truly impressive, capable and enjoyable boat in every sense.

Brokers Comments

This Fairline Targa 38 GT is in our opinion an incredible boat that provides everything you could want in a stylish Sports Cruiser & is presented in great condition.  It offers the space and luxury synonymous with much larger vessels whilst being relatively easy to handle. The crowning glory is the huge electric roof that opens and retracts at the touch of a button meaning she can be used all year round. Her Cockpit is equipped with loads of seating & a wet bar unit with sink and griddle, which lends itself perfectly for summer evening dining with friends or family, either whilst at anchor, or in the Marina. In the warm weather with the roof open, it gives true al-fresco dining, whilst still providing a dry and safe area when at sea. Close the roof  if the weather turns, to give that added protection without the hassle of all that canvass.  With the on-board  Generator, there is always sufficient power whatever your needs & with her cabin heating you are always assured of a comfortable nights sleep. Her powerful Volvo Penta D4 – 300hp Diesel Engines  and Drives have been recently serviced and  give a smooth, comfortable & fast ride. With relatively light use, she is, in our opinion in great condition and comes well equipped for Coastal Waters. With her stunning blue hull & sporty design, her new owner will not be disappointed with the style and class that this Targa 38 GT oozes.
