Pre-owned Fairline yachts for sale

Fairline Yachts is one of the great names in British yacht building, a shipyard that has become synonymous with performance, craftsmanship, and understated elegance. Founded in 1963 on the River Nene in Oundle, Fairline quickly gained a reputation for producing yachts that were both seaworthy and stylish – a combination that has kept the brand at the heart of the market for more than half a century.

Design and Range - Fairline’s two flagship lines appeal to very different types of owners:

• Targa Range – the sporty open models, instantly recognisable for their sleek profiles and exhilarating handling. These are yachts for owners who want the thrill of performance cruising without compromising on comfort, with clever layouts that make them just as good for weekends at anchor as for fast coastal passages.

• Squadron Range – the flybridge series that places more emphasis on space, luxury, and long-distance cruising. Squadron yachts are admired for their expansive decks, bright saloons, and versatility, offering plenty of room for entertaining while remaining practical for family cruising.

Both ranges demonstrate what Fairline does best – blending British engineering with refined interiors, ensuring every yacht feels equally at home in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, or further afield.

Personality and Reputation - Fairline has won multiple awards over the years, including Motor Boat Awards for the Targa 65 GTO and recognition for its design innovation. But what sets the brand apart, in my view, is its ability to balance sporty performance with everyday usability. Unlike some high-performance yachts that sacrifice comfort, Fairline manages to deliver agile handling while still creating interiors that feel warm and inviting – more like a well-appointed coastal home than a showpiece.

This dual identity is why Fairlines often hold their value well on the pre-owned market: they appeal not just to speed enthusiasts, but also to families looking for a reliable cruiser with strong resale credentials.
