£550,000 Yacht Tour : Fairline Targa 40 

Come on people, we need to get Nick to 500k subscribers, with a ton of likes, so RU-vid can buy him a Targa 40.

30 minutes for a 40ft boat tour, just goes to show what they've packed into this. You've got aroung 90 footers in less time. I think i've found my new favourite "small" yacht i'll never be able to afford. Thanks foe the tour.

Two boats in ONE - A speed boat "up top" A proper yacht below. Very nice. Thanks Fairline and Nick, for the tour.

wow, she is absolutely incredible. The amount of space for a 40 footer is insane. I would definitely buy one if I had the finances. Your very own super yacht scaled down, just incredible. Thank you so much Nick for showing us around her

That layout is amazing. Huge cockpit area, comfortable living space inside, can easily sleep 6-7 (owners cabin bed is large enough for 3 😏), and usually a boat that size have 1 small kitchen & 1 fridge either inside or outside, but this one got fridges in both areas, and a fairly big grill outside in addition of the inside kitchen, AND a tender garage ?!? For a 40ft boat, thats just insane!!! That’s the perfect party boat for a small group of friends who wants a weekend gateaway Also could be a great houseboat in the right type of climate

That is so perfectly laid out for a 40’ boat. And the attention to details is top notch. Absolutely beautiful.

Talk about a TARDIS! Amazing for 40’. What a brilliantly designed boat.

This boat should be in the text books for ergonomic design. Very clever indeed.

I’m in agreement with so many other viewers here: This is one of the most superb “small” boats I’ve seen on Nick’s channel. The attention to detail. The high-quality both interior and exterior. How everything fits perfectly…and all at 40 feet? It feels like a much bigger, luxurious boat. Never in my lifetime, alas. But for Nick? I want this for him. And I do believe it will happen, or something quite like it…

My absolute favourite boat for owner operation. Beautiful. Dare I say it, Good value too.

Perfect! Hop across the channel, hug the coasts of France, Spain, Portugal and then onto the Med. Ooh to win the lottery.. Lovely tour Mr Nick as usual!

I'm guessing that one of the night screens was supposed to be a bug screen and someone just hadn't had their coffee yet when they installed it. Extremely impressed with this one, a marval of packaging, cant believe its only a 40 footer, also can't believe the price, still too rich for my blood but a steal for what it is.

Another incredible tour, Nick! Fairlane has packed an unbelievable amount of amenities into a 40 footer. The only thing I would change would be to redo the seating in the port side to add another drop balcony. Brilliant design though.

Looks absolutely stunning… sports car on water… beautiful…!! If there are any owners of this exact boat out there… that doesn’t have the time for it anymore.. I would be willing to accept the gifted boat along with all running costs from any kind donor …. 😎🤘

Smuggler’s Blues 3 coming right up!

Fairline do such a fantastic job of adding so many features to a smaller space. Just fantastic. Beautifully done! Thanks for the tour, Nick!

Love how whoever prepped the boat lobbed empty drinks cartons and rubbish into the sinks, not realising how thorough Nick’s tours are 😆 Love this boat

Wooow! Wooow! Wooow! That was the most beautiful and smart boat! That's exactly what I love! That's to me, is the best boat ever! Absolutely great, smart and precise presentation Nick! Absolutely great job done as always! A great thanks for sharing one of the 7 wonders of the world! ❤👏

I love this boat. I don't think it's quite big enough for a live aboard, but it's much much more than a weekender. What a fantastic place to spend a couple weeks (or months!) in some warm, blue water place. About the only thing I'd change would be to try to find a way to squeeze a chiller in there somewhere.

I am now convinced thanks to Nick, that the two most common activities carried out on a yacht are drinking and tucking yourself away with a good book. 😊😊

Nick flips a light switch..Brilliant!😊

As usual a fantastic video Nick, your tours of boats is tops. Thank you.

Stunning craft love it! Also like the fact they have given so much access to the engines ❤

Love the multi use design.

Wow... what a great yacht!! Seems a lot bigger than 40'!!! Great tour Nick! Your enthusiasm is wonderful. Smugglers Blues III contender for sure!!!

Have to say the way they’ve made use of the space is unreal. With galley and saloon area as big as it is plus the head and forward cabin I wasn’t expecting to see a rear cabin at all. Stunning and at that price point amazing. I’d love to see you review a Galeon 435 GTO….. like another comment if I win the lottery that’s what I’d go for.

If you get the chance this summer it would be interesting to see you do a comparison video with previous generations of the Targa 40. It would highlight just how much progress there’s been over the years. At the same time it would show people without the budget for a new 40 just what they could get for their money in the secondhand market. For a lot of people, particularly in the U.K. a T40 of some sort is a (just maybe possible) dream boat.

Ooh, new style Mirror Wave - I like! I think this boat is just about the minimum spec I'd ever want, with so much space and all the essential features - decently appointed galley, lounge area tucked away downstairs, everything accessible. Might benefit from a couple of extras like laundry facilities, but I expect that could be implemented. The best part is always when a builder uses all the available storage space, with those cool little cubby holes, though!

Very impressed with this fine vessel, I cannot fault it at all.

Outstanding! The design and implementation is brilliant. High quality materials and finishes serounds you. She is definitely a beautiful boat. All this in a 40 foot boat! Remarkable!

That’s a great boat, for a 40 foot cruiser or so that’s got to be the market leader now, although I also love the slightly bigger new Marex. The likes of Princess had better up their game, their 40 now looks it’s age.

After visiting my "other half" in hospital, I relaxed with Nick's fantastic tour!. I'll edit that later!. Great update on the 35.Till the next one.

🦘🇦🇺 Thank you Nick. What a fabulous tour. So many nooks & crannies I thought you were never going to stop. For a 40’ it’s simply astonishing. 🛟🙏

You are the best.. in this ..and you show to with many contribuuts...for construction brands to improve their yachts... with..more.. improve for yachts properties

Finally, a boat worth every penny, amazing what they have done with so little space. Congrats to fairline🎉🎉

What else could someone want? Fabulous boat

Great boat and features for the size Nick

Lovely boat Nick, they've squeezed a lot into a 40 footer and made it look good as well.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The boat of the year so far for me. Great presentation as usual Nick and it was obvious how impressed you were.

WOW! Only a 40ft. Thank you Nick!

You said it Nick, a quality boat! I really like this and yes a 40ft its not cramped at all. Very Nice! Thanks as always for the tour.

Love it and your tour. You have a youthful fun charismatic way that you go about your explanations. This is a great example of the pure joy of boating.

Brilliant simplicity going to attempt it today

The design behind this boat is utterly brilliant. What a price point as well. Absolutely loved it. Thank you 🙏

Fantastic boat at a good price. It's got all the features I'd ever need. Great video. 🇦🇺 😊

Love this boat! I prefer all the little nooks and crannies on the smaller boats and no one does it better than Fairline!

I would love to see this vessel in person , great walk through as always ,thanks

This is the boat to aspire to Nick, I think it would do you very well.

So many ingenious ideas and all making the boat a better option. I particularly like (small detail I know) the ‘step-on’ groove along the side The interior finish is really good and although I tend to think you are a Princess fan you were yourself taken with this. Thanks, Nick, as ever for a great review. Would love to see a visit to their yard.

What a boat, and what a bargain price. Great tour, as ever, Nick and you can tell how good this boat is by your enthusiasm and time required to cover all aspects the design and build with the quality shining through. This is level pegging with the Princess F45 for me and I would not quibble if the coin came up heads or tails.

Fairline nailed it with this one. Stunning and practical. Cheers Nick.

Gorgeous vintage GMT, Nick!

This 40 ft Targa boat is just about perfect. When they come out with battery powered electric motors to drive it then it will be perfect. Outfitted with some of those high efficiency solar panels you could always get home !

Yes, I think you would be a great captain on this Targa 40 Nick. Your boat tours are indeed excellent!

Thanks for the tour, Nick! This is my new favorite non-Nordhavn!

Remarkably clever use of space.

I didn't notice any creaking floors. Quality build!

For a 40' boat it's amazing how much space they achieved

Absolutely love this boat Nick. If I had the money for this, I would live on it and travel the Great Lakes here in Michigan. That thing is full of surprises. All thumbs up here…..Oh , and we love you too. :-)

Hi Nick,And thank you for a very nice show of this new Fairline Targa 40 and iy looks great with that little funny balcony on the side what you see more and more on multiple brands the nice open cockpit below the salon with galley looks very need badrooms also looks great and one bathroom Thanks Nick that is a very nice show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A great layout for a 40’ boat

Ciao from Italy, Nick! What an amazing designed 40 foot boat. This sports cruiser is simple in all it's areas but awesome work of using space!!!

im no expert. in fact, everything ive learned about boats is from watching @aquaholic videos. yes, it's over half a million. but this vessel seems to be exceptional value for the money. id happily live on that beauty.

Really a great boat. Two cabins and a single heads, but you can see the quality of the materials and finishes. Great tour as always - almost to the 500k!!!

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but Mr Burnham sir i don't normally comment if I don't see your post on the day but I had too, considering I would normally discount this style of yacht for a flybridge yacht this Fairline Targa really makes me take a double take, it's stunning and full of genius bits and pieces it's so clever. If I already had my large yacht I could easily see this parked at my jetty of my seafront pile for the times I'm not on the main yacht, Nick it's easily to see why you're so taken with this Fairline and honestly if I had silly silly money I would buy this Targa for you just to see Smugglers Blues III blazend across it 😊 All the best from Cornwall 🤗✌️👍

Fully kitted with bits and then some. Well done Fairline ! As always,thank you Nick.What a wonderful floating hotel suite.I could happily live aboard 1.

What a boat! Can not believe the cost! - great tour as always!

That is amazing that boat could sleep 6 people - blown away how they got everything tucked in - lovely vid as always!

What an awesome boat!!!! I have a feeling that at the right price - maybe 2nd hand after a couple of years - this could actually become SB3!!!! Great tour as always!

The difference in the "Night Screen"s is one leaves a little sunlight through and the other is total blackout.

Think this is my fave boat on your channel so far ! Its classy and and just about manageable !

My first reaction wen i read the title: 550 k for 40"? ( Not cheap...) But after 4 minutes in the Tour i realize this is a special boat..... After 10 minutes I realize 550 k is a bargain. You get a lot bang for your buck.. This is a winner Nick Thanks for the incredible Tour Nick

Lovely boat and great review as ever Nick. Just wanted to highlight though that the one recently at a boat show, which admittedly had a lot of the options ticked worked out at a price of over a £1m including tax.

Really nice boat. For personal taste and bumbling locally ( France and back) a nicely thought out spec. Just right size for relatively easy owner helming and family days/ weeks. Some boats although owner specced always seem too big for my liking. This is smart, spacious, well specced, easy handled, quality and what a good price. Definitely one near the top of the shopping list. Nice tour Nick thanks.

Thanks for the share Nick.

Beautiful boat very well Designed layout Thanks for showing us Nick 👍

this has got to be the best small boat that we have seen for a long time. love it, love Fairline. Quality speaks!

This model should be a success.

Fab boat and lovely design and finish. I would really want to spend time on this.

Ive just watched this again because i watched your sea test of it. It is a nice bit of kit as we say oop norf. Smugglers Blues 3 👍♥️

Amazing, what an incredible boat. The tour wasn't too shabby either. Loved it, thanks for the brilliant video.

Lovely design yet still a lot of space and it looks really well proportioned everywhere, just lacking a dishwasher and solar to get it full option. Great one, Nick! Am i safe to say you like this one too?❤

What a great 40 foot boat. Really clever use of the space!

Very intelligent design. Very classy. This mini yacht puts many larger and more expensive boats to shame. Well done Fairline. And to Nick also. No other person would ever do a better review.

I think Nick liked this one

That is the largest and most spacious 40 foot boat I have ever seen!

That is an awesome boat, and an awesome walk around once again by you Nick. It would make a wicked Smugglers 3

I would def go for a high/low swim platform to fit a proper tender.

I have watched every review you made and this is easily top 5. For that price, this is brilliant. If i had the money, this is something i could see myself buying. Thanks, Nick!

After watching this several times, I can’t help thinking that this will give the Princess V40 a good run for its money. I’m a true Princess fan, but this would win, no contest at all.

Wow amazing you wouldnt think their was space like that on the boat

What an extraordinary boat. It's the Transformers of boating! The thought that has gone in to packing as many options of possible into the space is just mind blowing. As a plaything for a family it is unparelleled....fab boat....

Fairline do it again great boat at a great price

I must say, Targa knows what is up !! 👍 The design efficiency of the garage alone makes me be very happy 😅... I'm always thinking of wasted space, Targa seems to get it right. This is a phenomenal vessel Nick 🫡👍

You seemed particularly enamoured with this one, Nick. I half expected you to announce Smuggler's Blues 3. [edit]Hah, I typed that just as you started wrapping up!!

Top notch design and creative use of space. Like others have said, I thought it was going to be more expensive than it was.

Fairline sure make a nice boat. The balcony, the fit and finish. Very nice. Haw did you know I was going to ask if this was going to be SB3?😂

A very impressive and lovely #vessel. Many thanks for the tour! 🤗 🍷

I actually liked it surprising

And breath lol that would make a very nice new smugglers and I think that was in the top 10 of all acssess videos I like this one a lot perfect owner operator
