British luxury motor yacht manufacturer, Fairline Yachts, announces the world debut of its re-imagined Squadron 68 at the 2022 Boot Düsseldorf.

At Europe's largest boat show, visitors will be able to get the first glimpse of the highly anticipated Squadron 68. The subtly revised exterior has updated hull windows to bring the exterior design in line with other Fairline models, as well as a new sleek hardtop with fabric sliding sunroof and integrated electric sunshade aft. Inside sees the biggest transformation of Fairline's flagship flybridge.

The main deck caters for multiple entertaining spaces, from generous dining to comfortable saloon seating. The updated Squadron 68 features a new galley design maximising workspace, increased fridge/freezer capacity and incorporates a sociable bar that extends into the cockpit. The latest iteration of the flagship model also comes with the option of a tri-fold patio door and a lower helm side access door, perfect for creating that coveted indoor/outdoor feel.

The interior layout of the updated Squadron 68 has been completely refreshed. The lower deck is available with either three or four cabins - both options offering plenty of light, space and a fluid design. The master cabin comes complete with a king-sized bed, dedicated bureau with stool and drawer storage to starboard and large port side sofa. The guest cabin has more width than the previous model with an electric bed conversion option to convert the

twin berths into a double. The new Squadron 68 boasts a completely new interior design with updated materials and finishes throughout, all complemented with a refined and neutral colour palette, creating a chic and modern vibe.

Alongside the Squadron 68, Fairline will be showcasing its sleek and sporty dayboat, the F//LINE 33, which has taken the market by storm since launching at Cannes Yachting Festival in 2019, winning awards across the industry. The F//LINE 33 will be joined by the hugely popular Targa 45 GT, a sleek express cruiser that has the same light, bright and stylish feel that characterises all the new generation of Fairline models. It boasts a large sunbed over the tender garage and an expansive cockpit seating area - the perfect arrangement for enjoying time on board.

Fairline's network of international dealers will be represented throughout Boot Düsseldorf, together with key personnel from Fairline's design and manufacturing teams to provide visitors with in-depth information about the company and its ranges going into the 2022 season.

Messe Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf – 22nd – 30th January 2022 – Stand Hall 6 / D59
