Twin Volvo IPS | Retractable Hardtop | Exceptional Inventory & Care

We are proud to present “Macavity”, a superb example of the ever-popular Fairline Targa 44 GT, one of Fairline’s most successful and enduring models. Combining refined British build quality with exhilarating performance and superb onboard comfort, this Targa 44 GT offers an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS500 pod drives with joystick control, she delivers effortless handling, excellent fuel efficiency, and impressive performance, cruising comfortably at 25 knots with a top speed of approximately 35 knots. With just 581 engine hours and a full service history, this vessel has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded throughout her ownership.

Accommodation & Interior

“Macavity” sleeps six guests across two cabins plus the saloon, making her ideal for extended cruising or entertaining family and friends. The forward master cabin benefits from an ensuite heads, while the midships twin/double guest cabin enjoys jack-and-jill access to the second day heads.

The saloon is bright and inviting, finished in high-gloss wood cabinetry with cream upholstery, and features a generous U-shaped sofa opposite a fully equipped galley. Large hull windows and the open-plan layout create a light, modern living space.

Cockpit & Outdoor Living

The retractable hardtop roof transforms the cockpit at the touch of a button, offering open-air boating in fair weather or a fully enclosed, weather-protected space when required. The cockpit is designed for socialising, with excellent seating, a cockpit table, and a well-appointed wet bar.

The cockpit is further enhanced by new Silvertex upholstery, teak-laid cockpit, and a new Permateek deck fitted to the bathing platform and side deck steps, giving the boat a fresh and contemporary feel.
