The Targa 45 GT is the hardtop half of a pair, sharing its hull with the 45 OPEN but closing the cockpit under a fixed roof with a large sliding sunroof above it. That single decision changes the boat’s season. Owners in northern Europe get a saloon that works in April, and the glass in the hardtop keeps the space bright rather than boxed in.
Fairline gives the buyer more say below deck than most builders do at this size. Four two-cabin lower deck plans are offered, with the master either amidships or forward and the second cabin as a twin or a scissor berth, and a three-cabin arrangement takes the berth count to six. The hull measures 13.2 metres, 14.5 with the pulpit and submersible platform, and the 4.32 metre beam carries a full-width owner suite in the mid-master version.
Propulsion is a single choice: twin Volvo Penta IPS650 units on D6-480 blocks, 960 hp in total, for 32 knots. IPS brings joystick docking and a quiet, level ride, and it is the reason this boat handles like something smaller than it is.
The 45 GT has been in production since 2019 and holds its value well. Clean 2021 and 2022 boats still ask between 680,000 and 840,000 euros, which makes the model one of the steadier propositions in the British sports cruiser market.
