The Targa 45 OPEN is the Alberto Mancini restyle of a boat Fairline first sold as the Targa 43, and the changes went well beyond the badge. The sheerline dropped, the windscreen raked back, and the result reads as Italian rather than English from fifty metres away. It shares its hull and running gear with the 45 GT, so choosing between the two comes down to how much roof a buyer wants.
Here it is a low hardtop with an electric sliding canvas panel. Open, the cockpit and helm become one continuous space. Closed, there is shade at midday without the enclosed feel of a coupe. Sunbeds sit aft and on the foredeck, and the tender lives in a garage under the cockpit sole rather than on the platform.
Below, two cabins sleep four. The forward owner cabin takes an island berth, the mid cabin works as a twin or a double, and both share a single heads with a separate shower. Fairline publishes four berths flat, with no third-cabin option on this version.
Twin Volvo Penta IPS650 units on D6-480 blocks give 960 hp and 32 knots, with joystick control at the helm and the pod ride that made this size of boat straightforward to own. Used examples from 2019 onward trade between 635,000 and 930,000 euros, depending on year and VAT status.
