She has been kept in fabulous order. The engine room was spotless! Very hard to believe she’s a 14 year old craft! Great tour 👍

[@johningham4942]

I have to admit that I'm rather taken by the fairline range of boats nick, to find that they fit a lot of storage and other essential equipment in their boats and this one was no exception, another brilliant tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! :)

[@johningham4942]

@@AQUAHOLIC you are very welcome nick, you are also very talented when it comes to describing the plethora of boats you tour throughout each year, no one can do it like you do it!

[@bobuncle8704]

She wears her 14 years well. I’d be right proud to have this one as my own. Great summer retreat.

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks for filming this lovely Fairline Targa 47GT for us Nick. As you know the boat is currently for sale with us at £299,950- more pics etc are on our website (for anyone interested) . These are rare beasts these days especially with the light wood 🪵

[@peterjames6620]

When you said "that incidentally is a little door, so if you've got young kids..." I though for one moment you were gonna say, "...they can go in there" 🙂(Perhaps a feature for future designs?)

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

Just perfect Nick Sir... You are best as always..

[@JustRideTheVibe]

I was really surprised by the second ensuite to that mid-cabin, that was fantastic. In fact, the proportions of everything just felt very well balanced, and the saloon/galley areas seemed very comfortable for a sub-50' boat. One or two couples, or a full family could easily spend a week or two on this one with no problems. Fairline rarely (if ever) fails to impress IMO.

[@pheryl6551]

There's something about this boat I quite like. Thanks Nick

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. There is no need for comparison to other tours. You are number 1 channel. YFS very close 😊 I like Fairline yachts. Good layout. Sleek lines. Large cockpit. In clean condition for 2008. Great video thanks ☺

James from Boats is pretty good too, he straight-shoots from the hip and has a dirty sense of humour.

Hi, a nice boat for the longer distance trips and well looked after . Thanks for your walk round .😊

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Like driving a top down, fast sports car in Kansas - just for FUN (neighbors are 20 miles apart). Here, it's a sports boat in the ocean going fast - just for FUN. Yup, sometimes it's not laughter that's the best medicine - sometimes top down go fast FUN is the proper prescription. (BTW - be safe, don't drink and navigate and always wear clean underwear - mandatory warnings over). Have FUN... And thanks to Nick and the yard for the tour - Nick, you make window shopping FUN

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Absolutely fab boat Nick, these older Fairlines just seem so ahead of their time hence why they are still looking so good over a decade on! I would go for this one in a heartbeat, very nice! Great tour mate 👍🏻😃

This is like a TARDIS below deck. Giving it far more space than it's dimensions should allow. Very comfortable, light and airy feel. Impressive 👍

[@philstevens6860]

Im lucky enough to have one of he new Targa 45s which has everything this has and more. But this is fantastic yacht for way way less than half the price of a new t 45. Whoever buys this will be one very lucky Fairline owner. Good wishes to the buyer of this and hope to say hello sometime

[@colinturner4158]

Excellent condition nick the engine very clean indeed once again very informative

[@saturdaynightgaming4783]

Listening to you reference someone else’s videos is very kind. BUT. I have shown several of your videos to several of my friends and after watching how you go over every inch of these modern marvels, nobody likes anyone else’s videos. Even if someone reviews A yacht that’s more expensive it doesn’t matter even if they have a better production than you the way you make your videos the amount of detail you go into how do you present yourself in the respect you have and especially as knowledgeable as you are regarding everything and anything on these yachts is second to none.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind 🙂

[@DrCrabfingers]

And thanks to you Nick for another fab tour! That is a really lovely boat....! Totally love it! One of the nicest Salon and Galley you've ever shown...Every time I watch one of your tours I always think, "where am I going to put my scuba tanks etc." It's always in the second stateroom! The boat is immaculate and was obviously much loved by the owner.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@graemewoodruff9988]

This is a really nice boat, feels very beamy in the main cabin.

[@genericusername2177]

Liked it with the other channel, loved it with yours. These are great an look like good value for money. Thank you for showing her in your way. So relaxing and informative. 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@AlexZafer]

Honestly, this is nearly the perfect boat in so many ways - particularly for that extended week or two getaway for a couple with guests if they so choose. I really like when you have the opportunity to do these more extended tours of "smaller" vessels - (especially now that it is off-season). What I call the "attainable-relatable" or more affordable dream boats for regular blokes looking for what might be available on the used market ;-) . Because of your videos, I've been able to really narrow down what I like, what I don't, what I would want and need vs. the would be nice but not required elements. The pros and cons lists. I will also add here, I watch many boating videos, of all kinds, and nobody has your unique style and approach. (I watch your other channel too). You have that je ne sais quoi which makes these videos so incredibly enjoyable to watch. We can tell you love doing them and that authenticity, charm and warm enthusiasm of yours keeps us coming back. Thank you, Nick for what you do. ~Alex from Hamilton Ontario, Canada

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind. More lower cost boats coming! (And some more expensive ones).

Another most excellent, well-presented, thorough tour as usual, Nick. A well-appointed, sleek looking boat, with bags of space... surely another contender for Smugglers Blues replacement, though I know you are fixated on open-topped boats!

[@markperrins9485]

Lovely boat Nick. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@Dobermanator]

To me this is the perfect boat, and I think the price reflects that with many others as this has maintained a high value. The overall size (not too big), yet still get not only two decent cabins but TWO full heads (if one goes down, no problem), high quality - as seen in book matched Teak everywhere inside. Large Galley area and high on the bucket list = large fridge. High spec boat guessing by the over-all looks not too many hours which would also keep value up. Any serious service if I remember correctly, the whole garage comes off opening access up 100%. Shaft Drive with Bow Stern Thruster's Child could pilot this. And the absolute best thing is right under the Stern a Beer Keg Support likely with a tap (hidden from us) top side so you can "go work on the boat for a bit honey."

[@bonsaitreehouse5534]

Fairline is a value boat. You get your money's worth.

[@paulogrinke7020]

Though I'm not fond of the cockpit area, I would buy this boat for one simple reason. The headroom in the mid cabin is amazing. Not many boats that have that clearance. Plus a complete bathroom just for that cabin with the same headroom.

[@Emir_hakan50]

Espectacular nick 👍👍👏👏

[@MrPants1970]

I have to say something really appeals to me with an older boat…. Very nice

Great to see the underside Nick. Perhaps you should buy a remote submersible drone to go with the aerial drone.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

🤔

[@tonybazz53]

Nice boat. I love the second head in the mid ship cabin. I did notice some corrosion on the chrome steering wheel and some other signs of age, but it is a used boat. I do think they are reaching a little high on the asking even with the nice power option.

[@RobEJC]

Glorious boat indeed. I could easily live-aboard and do so comfortably year 'round (though likely not in UK climate). I've been on 50' boats with less usable space and more cramped accommodations and fewer amenities.

[@t.w.3]

The Fairlane Targa GT 47 is a really nice boat. Drives well, and handles sea nicely. I had different engines and layout in mine. Top speed over 40 knots, cruising at 24 knots. Slowing down below 22 knots didn't make much sense as fuel consumption went up due to lack of plane efficiency below 17 knots.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Wow, a 40 knot Targa 47 would be epic!
