may never want to leave this at-sea oasis. That’s why Fairline
designed the master with no piping or pumps beneath the sole
and installed 6 inches of insulation against the engine-room
bulkhead, stopping sound or vibration from emanating in-
ward. ¶ For outdoor fun, Fairline built a stationary teak deck
between the transom and hydraulic swim platform, so when the
platform is deployed for seaside activities, there’s still access
around the transom from one side to the other, or to the garage.
The builder also created a built-in molded step, so getting up
from the deployed platform is easier than it is with a ladder.
¶ Two gates lead from the swim deck. The portside one goes

to the aft deck; the starboard gate leads to a walkway to the

bow and the yacht’s walk-around side decks. Another little

oasis of comfort, the bow lounge has a foldaway teak table

and a U-shaped settee; twin chaise-style lounges with fl ip-up

backrests are forward, and they double as sun pads. ¶ Fair-

line teased the coming of this boat for months, with a sketch

here and there. Oftentimes with new models, the real deal

doesn’t measure up to the hype. In the case of the Targa 63

GTO, the builder exceeded expectations, and then some.

TAKE HOME THE GOLD

In 2017, Fairline Yachts celebrated its 50th anniversary. To commemorate the milestone, every Fairline yacht constructed

in 2017 was adorned with a gold Fairline crest. Typically made with blue and red stripes, this gold

piece signifies not only Fairline’s longevity but also its new direction, ownership and commitment to boatbuilding.
