James Powell, International Sales Manager at British luxury motor yacht manufacturer, Fairline Boats, enthuses: “We set off touring the western Mediterranean in July in the lead-up to autumn European boat show season and could not have anticipated the overwhelming reception we received bay hopping along the coast. Thousands of people have been onboard, marvelling at the boat, the layout, the three cabin accommodation, power windows, sliding roof, and Tender Launch System in particular.
“One customer, who had only seen the Targa 58 GT on the web just recently when looking for a new boat, was quite amazed when we drove past him and anchored in Santa Ponsa where he was able to step onboard to take a closer look.”
The Targa 58 yacht tour included visits to Spanish mainland, the islands of Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, the south coast of France and north western Italy.
