Fairline Targa 52 - Model Overview
With an integral garage to house and launch your tender or water-toy at the push of a button, three double cabins (with options of a den or utility room), and up to 36 knots in reserve, the Targa 52 is the luxury long-range sports cruiser that will stop shore-side conversations and turn heads as you glide effortlessly into the marina.

The Targa 52 features the infallible Olesinski deep-V hull and a lean, muscular power-to-weight ratio. Translation: You'll never quite become immune to the thrill of propelling over 17 tons of finely optimised machinery with fingertip control.

With 53'3" (16.2m) to play with, Fairline's designers have created a stylish, spacious yet practical leisure environment. For example, the stern garage can house a jet-RIB or personal watercraft, and launch and recover it with pushbutton ease... no crane, no davits, no need to remove the outboard motor. Another effortless way of getting yourself and your guests ashore is via the optional telescopic, hydraulic passerelle concealed below the walkway.

Other outdoor highlights include the carbon fibre-clad control console, a great sit-or-stand driving position that allows you to enjoy both the boat and the company of your guests at the same time, vast areas of upholstered sunbeds, plus a large U-shaped settee that comfortably seats eight within easy reach of the cockpit bar (complete with fridge, sink and optional icemaker and griddle).

Below, there's 6'6" (1.98m) headroom in all three double-berth cabins, extending to 6'9" (2.06m) in the saloon. Civilised features, including an LCD flat-panel TV and stereo radio/CD, come as standard, as does a stunning yet practical galley.

The forward stateroom features mood lighting, a king-size bed and en suite private shower and toilet. For guest accommodation, choose between two double-berth cabins, or one twin-berth cabin with adjacent, fully equipped utility room; or swap the utility room for a portside 'den' where you can , enjoy a range of optional multimedia entertainment equipment whilst retaining the flexibility of a built-in single sofa bed.

Fairline Targa 52 - Range Overview
The five models in Fairline’s Targa range have come to define the luxury express cruiser, with outstanding performance, a sleek, athletic build, and excellent use of space. Their deep-V Olesinski hulls cut and plane effortlessly through the heaviest levels of seas, provide soft riding into head seas, and cocoon you with the highest levels of creature comforts and equipment. Naturally, the Fairline’s heritage runs deep: behind the head-turning good looks, clever detailing and gleaming trim, the build quality is impeccable. The fine American cherry or honey maple cabinetry, stunning décor, sparkling halogen lighting and well-equipped galleys are just some of the features that come as standard on all Targa models.

Fairline Targa 52 - Brochure Foreword
THE FAIRLINE MARQUE WAS BORN of one man's vision and passion for excellence. Jack Newington, the company's founder, was a man committed to the highest ideals of quality and integrity; more than that, he had the rare ability to take his own high standards and values and weave them into the fabric of what was to become a hugely successful enterprise. Even today, forty years later, these values still drive everything we do. Fairline excels at building beautiful boats that delight, exhilarate and astonish their owners. This is the marque for those who look beyond the brash and the superficial; these are boats with a beauty and integrity that is very much 'More than Skin Deep'.

Exceeding the expectations of some of the most quality-sensitive customers in the world isn't easy. The ability to deliver real pleasure of ownership, year after year, calls for an unwavering company culture and an unquestioning core commitment, to build the very best. That Fairline has succeeded is readily apparent. Praise and the attention of the world's press greets each new Fairline introduction, and the marque commands universal respect for its unique ability to meld traditional skilled craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovations of the 21st century. Success is apparent, too, in the satisfyingly high residual values associated with our motor yachts, and - above all - in the fact that Fairline owners wishing to explore new models overwhelmingly do so within rather than outside the Fairline stable.

Stunning, exhilarating and seductive though they are on the surface, there's much, much more to a Fairline than meets the eye. Come, let's explore.

A Fairline is in the details
Every Fairline is the confluence of a bold creative vision, a clear sense of purpose and a sound seafaring pragmatism. These attributes combine to create a motor yacht that intuitively feels 'right', instilling a sense of comfort and confidence in everyone who steps aboard.

The evocative lines of each boat are a classic merging of form and function. The hull form - responsible for the dry, secure and responsive ride that is the hallmark of every Fairline - comes from the studios of renowned naval architect Bernard Olesinski, while Fairline's Design, Engineering and Product Development team creates and refines every other aspect of the boat's design - from the bold style statements of the superstructure to the smallest interior detail.

Enriching the wealth of practical in-house design experience is feedback from our worldwide network of dealers and, above all from Fairline owners. We support international rallies; enabling Fairline designers to talk directly with Fairline customers about real-world, hands-on design issues and practicalities.

And it's not mere talk, either. Recent improvements include changes to dashboard and instrumentation layouts, the darkening of materials in certain areas to minimise glare, and the separation of compass and gauge illumination to maximise night-vision retention.

Such practical touches abound, making every moment aboard a pleasure. You might take for granted the self-parking wipers, or the eye-friendly red night-lighting at the lower helm position, but if you've spent much time at cruising speed aboard other motor yachts, you'll certainly appreciate the ingenious fixed crockery stowage and the push-flush, anti-rattle door locks fitted throughout your Fairline.

For the same, eminently practical reasons, when you need a cockpit power socket to inflate the dinghy, you'll find one waiting, working (thanks to thorough waterproofing) and perfectly to hand. Overhead handrails will always, magically, be where they should be. And when you see the lengths to which we have gone to ensure that your enjoyment of a peaceful anchorage is not disturbed by noisy generators or the dribble and splash of their seawater exhausts, you'll start to understand the essence of the Fairline philosophy: quality, integrity and pride of ownership cannot be a pretty but fragile veneer... it must run very deep.

Unmatched levels of service
A vitally important part of the experience of being a Fairline owner is the commitment and integrity you will encounter at your local Fairline dealership. These are highly professional, thriving businesses in their own right, serving as representatives of Fairline within a network of dealerships stretching right around the world.

Your Fairline dealer will enhance every aspect of your Fairline ownership. His intimate local knowledge and experience will help you find the right Fairline, and ensure that it delivers the supreme pleasure of ownership for which this marque is justly renowned. Should the need arise, your Fairline dealer will also help you take advantage of the traditionally buoyant brokerage market, helping you to trade up smoothly and easily.
