We are now presenting a very fine and well-equipped Fairline Targa 48 from 2001, which has undergone extensive updates and improvements in recent years. With her elegant lines, powerful Volvo Penta engines, and generous social areas, she offers an attractive combination of performance and comfort.
Three separate cabins with six berths make the boat equally suitable for wonderful day trips as well as longer holiday cruises. A well-maintained example where significant investments in technology, equipment, and comfort have been made during 2023–2026.
Fairline Targa 48 is a classic British sports cruiser that combines timeless design with excellent seakeeping and a well-planned onboard accommodation. At just over 15 meters, the model offers a successful balance between sporty driving pleasure, generous social areas, and the comfort required for extended stays at sea.
This example from 2001 stands out thanks to the extensive updates carried out in recent years. Between 2023 and 2026, the owner has invested in both technical improvements and renewed comfort and equipment. Among other things, the propellers have been replaced, the gearboxes have been serviced, and the steering system has been updated with a new steering cylinder. The electrical system has also received significant upgrades with new generators, batteries, and battery chargers.
The boat is powered by twin Volvo Penta TAMD 74 EDC engines with a total output of 960 hp and approximately 1,200 engine hours. With a stated top speed of around 35 knots, she offers powerful performance, while both bow and stern thrusters facilitate maneuvering in tight harbors.
Onboard, you are met by a well-planned interior with three separate cabins and a total of six berths. Two heads with showers, a practical galley, and generous storage options provide good conditions for comfortable holiday weeks with family and friends. New cushions from 2023, two new toilets, and new refrigerators from 2026 contribute to an updated and pleasant environment.
The spacious cockpit is one of the boat’s major assets and offers plenty of space for socializing and relaxation. Here, both function and appearance have received great attention, including new exterior cushions, new canopy, new cockpit table, and renewed wood details. In 2026, all teak in the cockpit was also sanded and oiled.
Overall, this is a very attractive Fairline Targa 48 for those seeking a spacious and elegant sports cruiser with powerful diesel engines, three cabins, and a long list of completed upgrades. A well-equipped example where much of the ongoing improvement work has already been carried out, ready for new adventures at sea.
