FAIRLINE TARGA 48 – 1998 – SAME OWNER FOR 25 YEARS – MONACO MARINE MAINTENANCE
This 1998 Fairline Targa 48 represents a rare opportunity in the used yacht market. Owned by the same owner for 25 years, this boat benefits from a clear, consistent, and particularly reassuring history. Throughout this period, it has been maintained exclusively at Monaco Marine, with the same mechanic overseeing it, ensuring remarkable technical continuity and a constant level of maintenance aligned with professional standards.
Powered by two Volvo Penta TAMD 430 CHF engines, each developing 430 horsepower, this Targa 48 has only 1264 engine hours and 1189 hours on the boat. These Volvo diesel engines are renowned in the nautical world for their robustness and exceptional longevity, often surpassing several thousand hours when properly serviced. At this level of use and with regular maintenance at a leading yard in the Mediterranean, the mechanical condition is very comfortable. The engine room is clean, well-organized, and shows the care taken with the boat.
Maneuverability is optimized thanks to the presence of bow and stern thrusters, providing complete precision during docking maneuvers. The HFL generator has only 44 hours, highlighting measured and controlled use.
The helm station is complete and functional: Garmin GPS/plotter, Raymarine autopilot, Raymarine depth sounder, radar, VHF, and comprehensive engine instrumentation. The iconic hardtop design of the Fairline Targa 48 ensures protection, visibility, and navigation comfort in all weather conditions.
The interior layout with 3 cabins offers true cruising comfort, ideal for a family or entertaining guests. The boat is equipped with forward and aft air conditioning, heating system, an integrated waste water tank, a TV, and a fully equipped kitchen including a glass-ceramic stove and microwave. The interior volumes are warm, elegant, and true to Fairline's build quality.
The teak cockpit, spacious and welcoming, is one of the key features of this model. It includes a large aft sunbathing area, a comfortable cockpit table, an outdoor kitchen with glass-ceramic stove and sink, and a cockpit refrigerator. At the stern, the integrated tender garage with launching system greatly simplifies mooring. The tender equipped with a Yamaha engine is included in the sale.
This Fairline Targa 48 combines performance, reliability, comfort, and pedigree. With a single owner for 25 years, continuous maintenance at Monaco Marine, moderate engine hours, a rarely used generator, bow and stern thrusters, air conditioning, and comprehensive navigation equipment, it positions itself as a serious, elegant unit ready to sail in the prestige used yacht market.
