Introducing The Transworld Fantail Motor Yacht
Conceived as the ultimate in fuel efficient long range cruising yachts, the fantail required nearly four years of development, refinement and no compromised construction. The result has been a yacht that has set a new standard for the word "quality"
The Fantail is believed to be one of the most complex yachts being built in Taiwan. She requires 22 separate molds. From the start we required that only the finest materials be used in her construction. Hence the Fantail has received unsolicited praise on her design and excellent construction.
She stands out for her design, excellent construction & attention to detail. From her beautifully radiused fantail stern to her massive stainless steel anchor chock, the feel is that of a small ship. She incorporates a full walk around and an inlaid deck with a 42 inch high weather screen aft of the pilothouse, giving the feeling of complete security when walking the deck. Her fantail lounge contains a curved settee with an inlaid teak table that will provide for many intimate conversations protected from the elements by the weather screen and optional weather curtains
