48' Fairline 48 Targa Express Cruiser

Manufacturer Provided Description

The Fairline Targa 48 - Gran Turismo is designed around the latest compact diesels, with an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. With a proportionately narrower beam than any previous Targa, the 48 not only looks long and sleek on the water, she slices through it with consummate ease at rapid and economical cruising speeds. Her sleek lines are further emphasized by the colored hull, the curved, wrap-around toughened-glass windscreen and the profile of the long, twin-level, teak-laid cockpit with its extended teak-laid bathing platform. The helm position on the bridge deck has two double helm seats and is comprehensively equipped for long range cruising with a GPS plotter interfaced with the autopilot and a choice of single or separate throttle and gear controls. A bow thruster is fitted as standard and the fuel and water tankage is generous. The focal point for most owners and their guests is the large U-shaped central dining area on the lower cockpit deck. It is teak-laid throughout and fully equipped for outdoor relaxation and entertainment with cockpit bar, sink, drinks cooler, ample glass and bottle stowage and optional barbecue griddle. Further aft is a large, self-draining sundeck with nonabsorbent foam cushions incorporating a hangar designed for the concealed storage of the optional 2.85-m dinghy with its 8-hp outboard or jet ski. The whole cockpit area can be protected when required by a two-part hood, the forward part of which converts to a sun canopy. The strategically placed lights under the radar arch and in the walkways make this whole area a delightful spot for evening entertaining. The Targa 48 is expressly designed for people to move around the boat easily. There are safe, purpose-built walkways to either side of the transom and strong rails on the side decks. Walking from the recessed sunbathing area on the foredeck to the bathing platform at the stern to have a swim is safe and easy for all age groups. Access back onto the boat, both from the sea via the long, easy-tread bathing ladder, and from the quay, via the bathing platform (or the optional telescopic passerelle for mooring in the Med) is equally straightforward. The saloon with its six-foot, nine-inch headroom is spacious and flexible with a dining table that converts quickly and easily to a smaller cocktail table. An attractive bar unit and built-in stereo radio- CD player (with additional speakers in the cockpit) ensure that life on board is entertaining and relaxing. The well-equipped galley features practical fittings and well thought-out stowage facilities. This Targa has three double cabins. The master stateroom, with central king-size double bed has its own en suite facilities and the port and starboard guest cabins share the second toilet - shower compartment. Both shower rooms have circular shower stalls with rotating screens, well separated from the dressing areas. All the cabins have six-foot, six-inch headroom, full length mirrors, quilted bedspreads and practical built-in quality fitments. All the portholes are fitted with flyscreens. FAIRLINE TARGAS: Since the Targas introduction in 1985 - the original 33 - the demand for larger and more.  Every Targa is a dynamic combination of style and substance, offering long-range, high-performance cruising capabilities. The sleek profiles, available in a choice of dashing colors, conceal practical and spacious interiors, with superbly planned and equipped galleys, comfortable cabins with full headroom and generously sized beds, and large toilet - shower compartments. Specially designed bonding systems minimize the risk of galvanic corrosion on underwater fittings. Large battery capacities with regulated support systems and oversize starter cables provide real reliability in the long term. At the beginning of 1997, Fairline was the very first European builder to achieve CE recognition for its entire range.
