The press has been unstinting in its praise for the Targa 38 ever since its launch day 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 our 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 radar arch gives the flowing lines of this boat 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.


Performance estimates are given in good faith, but are in no way guaranteed for any particular boat. Dirt on the bottom of the boat, damage to the propellers, engine tuning, external water and air temperatures and the weight of the crew, fuel and water carried can all adversely affect performance.
