£120,000 Yacht Tour : 2004 Fairline Targa 40

I'm a big fan of the Fairline Targa 38, so I was interested to see how the slightly larger Targa 40 compared.

[@MaticT]

My dad owned one when I was a teenager and I must say its a brilliant boat, the only thing that was missing on was the AC but we got used to it. The walk-way is a bit tight on the outside for inexperinced people but you get used to it quick with the good position of the grab rails. And you can still step over the windscreen on the left side if you arent too clumsy. The inside has massive amouts of storage space, the only bad things are the position of the cooking area and the steep stairs. Thats everything we didnt like in the 4 years we owned one.... apart from the fact that we had to sell it :( god I miss this beauty. Thanks Nick for the nostalgia :)

For 120,000.00 I'm not going to complain about anything. Reasonably priced and you do get a nice boat for the money. Good job filmming. Thankyou.

[@wilsont1010]

Just wonder if the price is from the manufacturer or has it been accounted for the depreciation?

[@yonatanbenavraham6598]

Nice boat and nice price also. Every time I see a new Aquaholic video has come up I smile, they are great breaks from the mundane everyday goings on. Thanks Nick for this Vlog!

[@wilsont1010]

Everytime I watch his video I always wonder if if the price on the title is from the manufacturer or has been accounted for the depreciation?

[@54spatula]

I'll second that Nick, the whole lower deck does look really good. Incredible use of space.

[@gervers]

I love the mix of affordable to mega yachts! Great tour as always! I have friends that own a similar boat in Southampton! I have enjoyed many hours on it! This one really could be SB3?

[@tommymoto41]

Lovely little boat, great cosy space downstairs. I wouldn't turn it down if you bought it for me Nick.

[@TheWolfePit]

What a nice boat!

[@danielfortier2629]

The inside is big for a boat that size.

[@TheRepairRundown]

Daniel Fortier I agree I expected it to be way smaller than that that was like walking into a room in a house

[@dylans4788]

It’s really deceiving from the outside, even a 28 foot boat with a cabin looks like it would be the size of a closet inside but is actually very roomy

[@andyelliott8027]

Even got a TV and sink in the second cabin, impressive.

[@peterobbins5801]

You are right ............ they should re-name it 'Tardis'

[@kfeltenberger]

Loved your comment about the ketchup...it reminded me of when I was little (early 70s in Philadelphia) and we took my Aunt and Uncle to one of the areas more upscale steakhouses. My aunt ordered Prime Rib, something they were known for, and when the waiter put in in front of her she asked for a bottle of ketchup. My parents just sort of shook their heads; we all knew her practice of putting ketchup on everything. The waiter looked at her with a look of horror and said, "Madam, we do not serve *that* here..." She smiled, reached into her purse and pulled out a bottle of ketchup, "That's ok...I brought my own just in case." My uncle and parents were mortified and I just chuckled like the kindergartner that I was!

Thanks for a video in a cheaper boat again. Keep it up. Having a rib inside makes it way more flexible when you want to go somewhere.

[@chriswellstead776]

Nice bit of kit for the money. Thanks for the review and tour.

[@Dobermanator]

A nice Boat, it's aged well, must have been cared for. Surprised there is no table in Salon / Galley. I believe the fuel consumption and therefore overall operating costs would be very good, which someone in this price range would definitely care about.

[@marklawrence855]

A lovely boat and great price 🛥

[@OswaldCampbell]

what a great yacht, I like the use of space and the Volvos are a plus. Now I got to watch the 38' to see the difference...

Loving that I found this channel during quarantine, so many great videos to binge! Love the less expensive videos, while stilling drooling over the super yachts!

I honestly think that princess or sun seeker should design you a custom yacht, you’re the most wonderful person and I’m sure your videos have interested many people in their boats, with every video I hope you’re going to reveal your custom yacht!! ❤️

Really well designed boat and extras for its size,well done for getting around with only one hand free and not ending up in the drink ;-)

[@johnphelan6623]

Nice boat. A tad expensive at £120k though I think at its age and without any major refurb.

[@RonLarhz]

The condition looks great for smthg more than 10yrs old! And this is what I'm talking about! Funtional and affordability. Plus it looks cute from the outside. Ijust woshed the railings was higher. Kinda scary to walk around. Seems easy to fall into the water...

[@SkiCourchevel]

[@simongood9460]

Any boat that carries the name of both my Mother and Grandmother (both no longer with us) will always be fine by me. But shes also a little gem (an affordable one too) in her own right.

[@karlp8484]

Excellent boat and the quality seemed very good.

[@barking.dog.productions1777]

Excellent use of space on this boat. I love the salon area, and the circular shower stall. I'd be interested in the range, etc. Also, what would make it perfect would be some flip out seats in the tender garage. It would make a perfect little fishing spot with the door giving some shade.

My father used to have a boat , I never had the confidence to use it ( perhaps because I was a younger man and I had other interests too ? ) I stumbled upon your videos , and it's now in my head that I should take a course and not too far in the distant future, go ahead and purchase something similar Really enjoy your videos and thanks for inspiring me!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome, go for it! :)

[@jayargo2109]

Thank you If I was nearer to the South coast , it would make life easier , the Blackwater and Thames estuary and North sea ( I'm near the east coast in Essex ), is not as appealing as the area you are fortunate enough to be I've still been bitten by the bug though 👍🏻

[@Lake_Lover]

I've been binge watching this channels videos for a week now and I'm pretty much down to just a few left to watch. Love this channel. I like this boat a lot. The last thing I expected to see was an american built boat next to it. My jaw hit the floor when I noticed the Crownline boat next to this boat on the starboard side! Couldn't believe it! Crownline boats are built 150 miles from where I live in Illinois. I am a Crownline owner. I have a 2010 240LS. Thanks for all of these wonderful video's. I love the styling of these boats.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

There are quite a few Crownline boats in the UK. I looked at a Crownline 250 before buying my current boat.

[@gmcjetpilot]

Nice comfy for couple, one or two kids or guests you like, with one head. Nice yacht... practical with nice amenities... not over the top. Side decks narrow is a compramise for max cabin spaces.

[@RusstafaB]

Nice boat and affordable. Main problem is with a boat of that age unless it has been carefully maintained then it is likely some expensive repair costs will come up. So it would be worthwhile spending money on a very thorough survey to mitigate any risks Thanks for the video

[@bobbyflyer1967]

Russtafa B i can tell you a story about maintaining a Fairline. Thats ugly! And besides money truly hard to get it fixed behind the scenery. No smart handcrafting back in 1993. Beside the money you need a lot of time thinking new ways to get it restored in smart ways. As I said, a lot of ugly. If I had to buy a Fairline or even other brands today, I will check it way more seroiusly I ever did before.

[@896gerard]

O' couhse the badly lit engine room is not the boats fault, but the GoPro's. That was fun to listen to.

[@yacht-pegasus]

Better jump to that 40 instead of 38 as within a year you want to get a bigger one anyway. Talking from an experience here 😂. The two happiest days in every yacht owners life are the day you buy her and the day it gets sold.

[@greghart6310]

Neatly packaged lil ship! Do you ever see Riviera's around? If you ever get the chance have a gander - probably the best of all the sport cruisers I've seen featured on YT, so practical and thoroughly well planned.

[@RichieRouge206]

What a smart, well thought out boat! Great tour Nick!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

My new favorite - between the Targa 40 and Targa 38. I like what they did with the extra two feet. Very clever stuff, like massive galley / saloon area, two proper cabins, no flip up shelf over the toilet, that very easy engine access, I could go on and on, but I won't. Although I've heard you some time in the near future go on about a Princess yacht. And now you've re-commisioned "Smugglers Blues II" in March 2020. We'll just have to wait and see...

[@887Rabbit]

Lots of boat for the money. Great video presentation. Nice for 120K

[@sbakernyc5761]

Just started watching boat/sailing videos on KZbin a week ago... now i feel like im an expert commenting on headrom and prices lol

[@paulraggett7837]

Again a very enjoyable trip around a boat with you. I sit at my desk watching your videos and enjoy following along as I have no knowledge of the subject at all. I wonder about the running cost etc and what the depreciation would be. But probably more importantly what sort of training would be required to get the level of skill needed to actually take a boat out and feel safe. Maybe you could give us a guide to the safety aspects, running costs we would could expect. Because if you carry on like this my friend, I might wake up one day having spent a small fortune and it would have been your fault. Once thank you.

[@tonygriffiths2485]

That would look lovely with the others just like it behind Hampton Court at Flower Show Time. Thanks :)

[@amarsh14]

Love it Nick, not sure ifI commented previously, but with the lovely set up inside and the generator AND the good price, I could live on it 😝

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Really nice boat, you can tell the previous owner LOVED her, excellent condition. Personally on a vessel this size I think a dinghy is overkill, I'd much rather have the headroom/big ass hatch that opens to the engine bay, cause on any boat you gotta wrench and this one would be miserable IMO. It would be a great Miami boat for cruising to the Bahamas/Exumas for a few days, something fun for a first time yacht owner. Any farther out than that though I'd want a bigger boat with a longer range and a lot more storage(something this boat is lacking if you want to use that 2nd cabin)

[@markjennings2315]

That boat looks like it has never been used!! I think Id prefer a step through split screen than the very narrow external access to the bow

[@markperrins9485]

Hey Nick. Brilliant video there. Really nice boat. I must say although I hate canopies on boats I really lean to these Targa 38 & 40. I wonder how much desty marine would cost up a solid roof with fixed windows for.so as to remove the canopies. Nick. I watch your videos all the time and have done for many years, the other lovely chaps too. Now I can’t recall all their names, there is a slim chap who carries his tours in an almost surprised and urgent manner, the other chap tall and thicker set, carries out his tours with an eye of perhaps criticism and of course that what we need. So I think that your way of representing a boat be it super yacht or run about is or should be the staple of representation as you set a charming but realistic view of all boats. As you may recall we own a Grandezza 27OC brought 5his February. Great boat and new feeling with modern tech which we love. Older and bigger, hmmmmm ! Mark...

[@dontcare32123]

Great work as always. Might you one day do a much longer comparison video of suggestions for the ideal first timer 4 berth boats under 34 feet, such as the Targa 30 and 34, the Bavaria 32 but more importantly some of the competition we might not be aware of. I'm sure you have many viewers looking to dip a toe in the water but obviously not wanting anything too big whilst still being able to accommodate two to four people for a long weekend, so beyond the cuddy cabins. Liken it to your first car where you start to learn the basics in something cheap and don't mind a few bumps or scrapes along the way before you progress to something bigger and more expensive.....but on water. Btw, it would be great to see some really in depth reviews of the cheaper boats as I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to see every nook & cranny and wishes your reviews were longer. It's a shame some of the brokers don't encourage you to conduct a brief sea trial as it would be great to see and hear how these more affordable used boats actually perform whilst providing valuable publicity for the broker. Keep up the great work.

That is a beautiful boat - and a surprisingly reasonable price - but for UK weather those camping covers are a pain - I had an open Sealine for 5 years - I hated the faff and bent nails when trying to erect the covers in rain.....also I find the windscreen surround too low on the these boats.....

No bad at all for a smaller boat. Very decent galley and unexpected second cabin.

[@Ob1sdarkside]

Definitely looks a good deal bigger than the 38, I'm off to check the lottery ticket.

[@scotty193]

That boat is like a Tardis I thought he would only lead us down into a bedroom area in the bow, but no full sized kitchen, living room and a second cabin incredible. You essentially could live onboard if mooring fees dont cripple you too much.

[@trja900]

[@mariafulton1213]

It is unusual to have thrusters on a boat this size but they do come in handy. There were many times on our 41 that I wished we had them. I think i like the 38 better, although I do like the garage (which is another unusual on a boat this size). .

[@SiiliViin]

Inside engine room you can see daylight between tender garage and hull connection at 7:36 , so it is not so water tight.

[@kamilkotlowski9164]

Thats a lovely boat at affordable price.

[@drungs66]

Seems like a lot of boat for the money, but I'd be a bit concerned about those side decks? Looked a bit tight on that swing from the cockpit area. I'm always surprised at the changes that occur over time, with things like decor, furnishings etc.....You can almost date a boat, just by looking at the shape of the settees (!!) Makes me wonder how outdated the current, higher spec look will be in 20 odd years 😊

[@mskellyn07]
