Luxury British boatbuilder, Fairline Yachts, introduces the Targa 45 OPEN - the latest boat from the hugely successful partnership between celebrated Italian superyacht designer, Alberto Mancini and the British boatyard.

This sleek express cruiser has the same light, bright and stylish feel that characterises all of the new generation of Fairline models.

The Targa 45 OPEN boasts a large sunbed over the tender garage and an expansive cockpit seating area - the perfect arrangement for enjoying time on board. With two spacious cabins and two heads, this new addition to the Fairline range is set to be a must-visit at the upcoming international boat shows.

Originally named the Targa 43 OPEN, its new name reflects its impressive proportions. With improved engine room access, the boat offers twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 D6-440 engines offering a comfortable cruise at 26 knots and a maximum speed of 31 knots.

Head of Design and Engineering at Fairline Yachts, Wayne Huntley, says, "When re-designing what was the Targa 43 OPEN, we felt the title of '43' was selling ourselves short. A 45-foot yacht allows for a fantastic boating experience, which is exactly what the new Targa 45 OPEN provides. Plus, the re-designed engine room means access is now even easier and more convenient."

With a base price of £499,000 excluding taxes, the Targa 45 OPEN is powered by the new twin Volvo IPS600 D6-440 engines, with the option to upgrade to Volvo's new IPS650 D6-480 units.
