Welcome to the Squadron 48, where attention to detail and ingenuity are used to create unforgettable experiences. You can enjoy this Squadron in so many ways; for its size it is destined to be one of the most enjoyable yachts on the water.
Beautifully crafted for pure enjoyment at speed and at rest, this sun-loving Targa sports an electric hardtop. Prepare to transform your environment at the touch of a button…
With its roof open to the skies above and a large rear sunpad inviting you to soak up the sun, this thoroughbred Targa is ready to take the true Mediterranean spirit and style to the rest of the world.
The new Squadron 60 is a wonderful addition to the world-renowned Squadron flybridge range. Quite simply, it’s a beautiful yacht to behold - understated elegance disguising the fact that it is packed with innovative features.
This remarkable creation is the new flagship of the Targa range and true to its status boasts a host of new and innovative features. For this is a beautifully built Fairline that sun-worshippers are going to love…
Our mission for this latest addition to the Squadron range was to create the true class leader in terms of spaciousness, relative to yachts of similar length. The Squadron 50 has achieved this ambition with the help of two particular features - the ‘full length’ hull design and our unique Tender Launch System. These innovations have made more internal space available for our designers and the result is a level of luxury accommodation and cruising practicality unmatched by any competitor.
This remarkable new 42 is every inch a Squadron, and takes its place in a range which includes our most visually inspiring and exclusive models. The huge, panoramic windows are a strong visual feature and flood the interior with light. This creates a real sense of ‘big boat’ luxury, further enhanced by the extra-large flybridge and walk-around side decks.
The Targa 50GT demonstrates all the practical design elements for which these long range cruisers are famous. The most striking features of this latest design are the sweeping panoramic windows and the choice of having your living space fully open or fully closed by operating the smooth-sliding roof. The well-positioned aft galley also adds to the sense of open alfresco living.
As with every Squadron, the 65 gives you the distinct impression of being on board a very large yacht. The flybridge has been designed with sociability in mind and features comprehensive entertainment facilities and two large, luxurious daybeds. A central window runs the full length of the sun pad on the foredeck bringing daylight into the forward cabin and adding a stylish look to the exterior.
Despite its compact size, this sleek, powerful 38-footer punches well above its weight, offering more luxury accommodation and practical features than any other sports cruiser in its class. Built to the same thoroughbred standard of quality and engineering as the larger models, the smallest Targa in this well-proven range has won numerous European awards, including Motorboat of the Year.
The elegant, award-winning Squadron 78 CUSTOM draws on a 40-year heritage. From the well-proven hull to the exquisite furnishings and cabinetry, more than 12,000 Fairlines stand behind the creation of this peerless luxury motor yacht. As its name implies, a high level of customisation is available and clients can rely on the specialist advice and experience of our Yacht Division throughout the order and commissioning process.
Introducing the long-awaited hard top version of the celebrated Targa 38. This sleek, powerful 38-footer offers more luxury accommodation and practical features than any other express cruiser in its class. And now, to top it all, it boasts a smooth gliding electric roof for thrilling convertible fun.
The Squadron flybridge range delivers exclusivity, elegance and performance in equal measures. Free-flowing sociable living spaces are at the heart of every model.
Here is the inspiration behind every one of our 13,000 beautifully built boats. This is how we differentiate ourselves from the crowd. How we explain our colourful and successful past. It’s by respecting this past that we are able to approach the future with genuine insight, ingenuity and creativity.
