Luxury British boatbuilder, Fairline Yachts, celebrates its best ever Boot Düsseldorf to date - with more than £13,000,000 worth of orders taken at this year's show.

Boot Düsseldorf is the world's largest, annual, indoor boat show and was the global platform for the highly anticipated launch of Fairline's Targa 45 GT. A sleek and luxurious cruiser, the new Targa 45 GT was the star of the show, securing international interest and customer orders.

A gamechanger to Fairline's Targa range, the Targa 45 GT features a unique attribute for a yacht of its size - a tender garage for a Williams 280 MiniJet. The addition of this tender garage adds improved functionality and innovation to the 45-foot category.

Available with a choice of a two or three cabin and two heads layout, the Targa 45 GT can be further personalised to have either a mid or forward master cabin, depending on preference. The new Targa shares the characteristics of all the new generation of Fairline models, thanks to the brand's partnership with award-winning Italian superyacht designer, Alberto Mancini.

Also exclusively launched at the show was the new F//Line 33 Outboard, drawing on the outstanding success of the F//Line 33. Featuring the same sleek and sporty design, the outboard version incorporates a new 'Ascender' bathing platform from H+B Technic to further maximise space, functionality and enhance the connection to the water.

This innovative high/low platform surrounds the outboard engines, lowering to form steps to the water when submerged, or raised to act as a parallel, in turn allowing the propellers to be raised clear of the water.

Dennis de Roos, Sales and Marketing Director at Fairline Yachts, comments, "We are really pleased with the performance at this year's Boot Düsseldorf. The feedback on our new yachts has been outstanding, further evidenced through the number of boats ordered. It is testament to the incredible work of our team and shows the impressive new boats we are designing are really hitting the mark with our discerning global customer base."

The record-breaking Boot Dusseldorf also saw Fairline win the hotly contested "Superboats" category at this year's Motorboat & Yachting Awards, for its highly acclaimed F//Line 33, with the new outboard version exclusively unveiled at the show.
