Fairline Targa 53GT

Meet the Fairline Targa 53GT—a sleek express cruiser with some great design ideas.

The Targa 53GT pays attention to Fairline’s design DNA, right down to the “spear”—
that white peninsula of frame jutting into the black glass on the side of the house.

as well as the indoor-outdoor feel of the space thanks to skylights and a wide-open aft door.
