Fairline Targa 53GT

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

A high bowrail along the port side deck makes it easier to get around safely.

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.

Get a sense of the onboard space you can actually use by looking at the available seating in this image,
as well as the indoor-outdoor feel of the space thanks to skylights and a wide-open aft door.

High Voltage. High seas.

A vintage-style illustration split into two contrasting scenes. On the left, a teenage boy looks down into a tiny, open 13-foot wooden motorboat filled with supplies. On the right, a massive steel-hulled naval warship cruises past under a dramatic sky.

A Boy and a Boat

A side profile shot of a modern, white Sunseeker 82 Ocean luxury motor yacht cruising at speed across open water. The vessel features striking black-tinted window bands along its multi-deck hull and a black hardtop structure over its upper deck flybridge. It kicks up a substantial white spray and wake as it glides under a soft pink, purple, and gold sunset sky, with a British Red Ensign flag flying from the stern.
