Fairline Targa UK Debuts at Southampton Show

Two new models from Fairline will make their UK debuts at the South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show 2026, held at Ocean Village Marina from 8-10 May.

Presented by Approved Boats, the all-new Fairline Targa 47 GT and Fairline Targa 50 Edition will appear on UK waters for the first time in Southampton this spring, underlining the show’s status as an early-season launch platform.

Fairline Targa 47 GT

The Targa 47 GT evolves the Targa range with sleek styling and practical luxury. A contemporary hardtop and expansive glazing system bring natural light into the cockpit and saloon, while the sociable layout creates a generous entertaining space. Below deck, well-appointed cabins and refined detailing support comfortable offshore cruising.

Fairline Targa 50 Edition

Debuting alongside the 47 GT, the Targa 50 Edition focuses on open boating. Its open cockpit, ample seating and sunpads prioritise outdoor living, with a helm designed for an engaging drive. Finishes reflect Fairline’s heritage and craftsmanship.

We’re proud to be presenting the UK debuts of the Targa 47 GT and Targa 50 Edition at the South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show. Both models represent the next step in the evolution of the Targa range, combining performance, style and practicality in a way that really resonates with UK boaters.
