The offshore weapon you can take to the Med | Targa 41 sea trial | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@Targaboatsofficial]

Thank you, Motor Boat & Yachting, for the excellent review! We’d like to highlight that all flybridge driver seats on T37-T46, including this boat, come equipped with swivel chairs as standard.

[@BadYossa]

Arguably, one of the best boat reviews I've seen. Alex clearly knows what he is talking about and his attention to detail is excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative review. Keep 'em coming lads and lasses! 11/10

[@darthkek1953]

Fell in love with this boat at the Boat Show... that spacious aft cabi. Of them all, Targa, Sargo, Botnia, NordStar, etc., this is a nudge ahead of the rest of the pack.

[@maryholder3795]

Targa has done it again, and is leading the competition of others like her once again. She is flexible in her moves that her owner of her. Practical, secure, good movability around the boat for people and safety is designed into her. Social cockpit, great access to engine room. Nice fly bridge very versatile. The salon is is well planned for people needs, comfortable looking and I love all the teak. Cabins well planned for where they are, lots of storage. Targa has excelled herself, again well done. Great review Alex thank you.

[@jonjacob1962]

I wish I could afford a nice livaboard like this so I could just cruise off into the sunset and just get away from EVERYONE and EVERYTHING... The solitude of the open ocean sounds SO peaceful...

[@jacktyler7599]

Just a great review, Alex. You did much justice to such a gorgeous and purposeful boat; if only all reviews could be so thorough and include a full sea trial. Bravo Zula.

[@nicbennett6554]

Pretty much my ideal boat. Love it! Great review Alex, keep them coming.

[@iancharlton678]

Great tour and test Alex……… cracking boat 🎉 Not flash but oozing quality and, regarding the flybridge………. that to me, is a flybridge, if not a bit on the large side…….. Being old, and raised in the era of Moonrakers and the like, a flybridge was merely an elevated roof top perch for the driver to get some wind in the hair…..😊 Sometimes you’d get a couple of perches for company…….. Nowadays, the flybridge has become a whole added deck space…….. making a lot of modern boats look top heavy in my view. The Targa, as you say, is tall cabined, but still pleasing to the eye in a purposeful sort of way…….. it wouldn’t look out of place with chequered sides and PATROL slapped down it…… plenty of grunt, although I would go IPS and a generator……… Cheers Alex 🙂🇬🇧

[@Nezzer57]

Great review. Your passion shone through, and you're right. Best Targa I've seen, most livable and usable, and a real head turner 👍

[@Bhh-j2s]

Fantastic presentation. Thoroughly usable boat.

[@wingcommanderdaltonwalton67]

After watching this I simply can’t understand why Yacht manufacturers put the helm seat so far away from the wheel? This is the 1st one I’ve seen that looks like a genuinely comfortable driving position! Really enjoyed this tour,fantastic boat.

[@nickwebb9290]

An excellent review and what a superb boat. Very practical and just love its well thought out design and that lovely teak 👍

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Great tour of a wonderful boat. I hope there is one to see at a Fall USA boat show. Really well-thought out, much more sociable than some of the somewhat austere Targa-class boats. I love the hinged driving console -- can't imagine why that has never been copied by mainstream boat builders.

[@seanogden927]

That is a great boat, really nice layout and flow to it, great finishes and equipment levels. Great video Alex thank you.

[@cookiemonster2299]

Always great to see these boats being used on the water, love it ❤️🇬🇧

[@mikefrench3800]

Love the black metal but, will it corrode faster than stainless?

[@markomarten]

This is certainly a well thought out design and very little to criticise, I think the comment about the bridge helm seat was a fair one as it would seem relatively simple in practice to fit a seat that swivels around when required. There’s certainly a lot of options and that shows a good degree of flexibility. I think a generator and electric cooker might the preferred choice of many and a cleaner option too. I don’t think you would want to add much else to this fairly solid design. It certainly ticks a lot of boxes and it deserves to succeed.

[@Targaboatsofficial]

Thank you for your comment! We want to clarify that all flybridge driver seats on models T37-T46, including this boat, come equipped with swivel chairs as standard.

[@markomarten]

@@Targaboatsofficial I didn’t know that as I was under the impression it was fitted with a fixed seat. Maybe it was either a misunderstanding or a case of the person doing the video wasn’t aware of it.

[@NickW0771]

Suoerb review - so in depth - excellent content

[@charlesetienne6037]

In Seychelles I would like an outdoor grill with it.

[@licence1001011]

❤ I WANT A TARGA SO BAD 🎉 awesome boats

[@johnk1529]

Targa has the market cornered on KZbin videos.

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

[@davidbettney785]

Great review :)

[@pj4433]

Fabulous boat.

[@adamporetti5983]

I want one of these things, but it should be more oriented towards practical adventure exploration. There should be less focus on luxury and more on extended time off the grid, with room for six or so to fish, skin dive, spearfish, and go island camping off the northeast coast of Australia.

[@fernandomaximotorres]

About how much?

[@LitiaRuby]

Just wondering if they can be used in the tropics

[@locoman888]

If they have AC ...why not.

[@LitiaRuby]

@@locoman888 cheers

[@philbro1829]

I love the way you can IMAGINE 7 people sleeping onboard... they've got to be best friends and or HORNY, Hehehe 😂

[@gutembergmao]

Wonderful boat, but it lacked a stabilizer.😢

[@hippiehillape]

Gyro is an option

[@hippiehillape]

Bow cabin hatch blocks the windshield, don't like that Agreed drawers should be dovetailed.

[@aekara1000]

Drives well on a flat sea!!

[@Nordmore68]

Something tells me that he is not cleaning his own house? :D The way he places his fingers on all the windows.... :D :D

[@alexsmith3945]

You've got me bang to rights!

[@ironichumorist]

beast

[@ntm0272PoPs]

Range?

[@alexsmith3945]

About 340-360 miles at between 20 and 25 knots.

[@rtbinc2273]

Lovely boat - but you see a lot of hull flares on American boats. It's an odd European tread to use very plumb bows. Maybe they are best in the Med?

[@robintaylor1490]

Did you say you were 6'0 tall ? Hmm 🤔

[@alexsmith3945]

Outrageous! I am 5ft 11 and three quarters. It's a curse of all the Smith men that we fall a quarter of an inch short of the 6ft mark. But for the sake of brevity (if not ego) it's gotta be fair to round that up!

[@Kong_WR]

Targas have always been my favourite little boat but they could at some point put some modern touches.

[@darthkek1953]

Heresy! Blasphemy! Sedition!

[@mwinner101]

I agree. Outdated.

[@TheEasyRail]

What are these "modern touches" that you're after?

[@scottlomas5509]

She would make a good live aboard 😊

[@morri03]

Not really. Not much space inside for its size, small water and holding tanks, stern drive or ips. Almost nowhere to store stuff. There are far better choices for a live aboard

[@mwinner101]

They won’t allow grandpa’s fishing boat in the Med. Take that to Amity Island and look for sharks.

[@confidential3232]

The doors look stupidly heavy And 12 people capacity ... REALLY is that illegals😂

[@jchill5229]

I don't want to keep watching the beginning of your videos operating the boat. If the camera was showing outside and where you're going YEAH ! but it is stuck on some old guy ! I want to see all of the boat...UNSUBSCRIBED....
