@@AQUAHOLIC well, yeah its quite a bit of a stretch, but we never know! Though I already asked a lot of my family to subscribe to your channel 😂 a small contribution for you, Nick!
30 minutes for a 40ft boat tour, just goes to show what they've packed into this. You've got aroung 90 footers in less time. I think i've found my new favourite "small" yacht i'll never be able to afford. Thanks foe the tour.
Yeah this would thrive in the Caribbean as an owner operator. When the boats get so big that you have to start thinking about hiring a captain and a couple of crew to assist him they aren't as appealing.
@@josephdover198 yes, for the size very practical boat. I don't like having a captain and crew also. I'm a little bit keen on my privacy. That's why i wanna have a boat like this. Only £549.000 to go with savings....
The automotive channel Savagegeese has done some very good episodes talking to engineers and design teams from virtually every manufacturer. I second your thoughts on Nick being able to talk to the manufacturers about the design process, customer feedback, etc. on what drives their decisions
wow, she is absolutely incredible. The amount of space for a 40 footer is insane. I would definitely buy one if I had the finances. Your very own super yacht scaled down, just incredible. Thank you so much Nick for showing us around her
I love the Targa 40 and Targa 45GT. So much boat for the money and if you don’t have a huge family and tens of millions of dollars, why would you need anything else ? Another one million or so subscribers and it’s all yours Nick. Get the 45, it’s the best value under £1m in my opinion. 💪 👏
That layout is amazing. Huge cockpit area, comfortable living space inside, can easily sleep 6-7 (owners cabin bed is large enough for 3 😏), and usually a boat that size have 1 small kitchen & 1 fridge either inside or outside, but this one got fridges in both areas, and a fairly big grill outside in addition of the inside kitchen, AND a tender garage ?!? For a 40ft boat, thats just insane!!! That’s the perfect party boat for a small group of friends who wants a weekend gateaway Also could be a great houseboat in the right type of climate
Thanks Nick for the tour! I knew you loved the boat with the enthusiasm you showed. This is the best 40' boat I've seen as well. Set your goals and you can achieve. I look forward to your videos this year. All the best to you!
I just liked and subscribed! I've been enjoying your walk through's for quite a while. You are so thorough in your knowledge, and it translates into such a learning experience. I've been a boater, water lover since I was so young. I've been blessed with many motored vessels, modest in size and anemities. I watch you and your brilliant descriptions of these beautiful vessels and feel as if I've been up to date with the advancements and evolution of water life. I thank you very much for your professional and proper descriptions. It brings me back remembering younger days, and how fantastic and artistic it has become, coupled with ingenuity and such modern engineering. Cheers!
Perfect! Hop across the channel, hug the coasts of France, Spain, Portugal and then onto the Med. Ooh to win the lottery.. Lovely tour Mr Nick as usual!
I’m in agreement with so many other viewers here: This is one of the most superb “small” boats I’ve seen on Nick’s channel. The attention to detail. The high-quality both interior and exterior. How everything fits perfectly…and all at 40 feet? It feels like a much bigger, luxurious boat. Never in my lifetime, alas. But for Nick? I want this for him. And I do believe it will happen, or something quite like it…
Fairline is quickly becoming my favorite yacht. Just the thought that goes into making things as practical as possible, designing pieces to serve more than just one function, and super high quality, and well designed, interiors. Great vid as always Nick! Also, the only reason I see for the 2 sun shades for the "living room" skylight is redundancy. Those things get UV damaged quickly. By having 2, you can still shut out the blazing sun when one inevitably dries out and cracks into little pieces.
Every video of yours I watch with a boat like this one, I almost live in hope that you will say at the beginning.... and this is especially fantastic, as it is my new boat!! Not that I have anything against Smugglers in any way at all!!, I just would love to see all your hard work rewarded with a new aquaholic acquisition. Love your videos Nick. Keep up the great work ❤
Wow! It’s not very often I can watch a tour and not find anything I don’t like about a boat. Not this one, it’s perfect. A great boat and a great tour. Thanks Nick
An object lesson for any builder/broker. Give Nick the time and space and he will do your boat proud. With the added benefit to us as viewers that we get a good thorough nose around a lovely looking little vessel. Thank you.
I love this boat! I could picture myself taking some family out for a little cruise where they can relax and sunbathe, then being able to sleep overnight in comfort. Love the Volvo Penta’s too. Not too big, but it is like a Swiss Army Knife with so much fitted in. Love the hidden tender garage. The attention to detail is great. And yes, the folding rail on the drop down balcony is cool Nick 😉. I do love your all encompassing tours that are done to perfection. You are the master of your craft. Thanks again Nick 😊
What a boat, and what a bargain price. Great tour, as ever, Nick and you can tell how good this boat is by your enthusiasm and time required to cover all aspects the design and build with the quality shining through. This is level pegging with the Princess F45 for me and I would not quibble if the coin came up heads or tails.
It is a very nice boat and very different from a Nordhavn. You can get a Nordhavn 41 ready to cruise for ~£720,000 (not far off a well equipped Targa 40). If you want to go long distance the choice is easy. If you just go on smaller trips then this one looks pretty nice.
For years the Galeon 400 fly has been my fav 40 foot boat (and my ambition boat), but this is brilliant. I love how nothing feels cramped and the living area below deck is genuinely livable. Hmm I think we may have a new favorite especially given the Fairline quality and surprisingly (relatively) low starting price. Cheers for another great review!
Love it and your tour. You have a youthful fun charismatic way that you go about your explanations. This is a great example of the pure joy of boating.
Wooow! Wooow! Wooow! That was the most beautiful and smart boat! That's exactly what I love! That's to me, is the best boat ever! Absolutely great, smart and precise presentation Nick! Absolutely great job done as always! A great thanks for sharing one of the 7 wonders of the world! ❤👏
500,000 subs and I remember when you were so pleased to get your 10,000 plaque. Still the same humble chap and not a typical look at me Utube influencer. Congrats nick.
A real swiss army knife of a boat! Nick - I reckon you would multiply your viewership figures if we could see your adventures of going places on this great new craft. I for one would love to see practical (sort of how to) adventures at sea and overseas. With your superb production skills and considerate content it would make for exciting and relaxing yarns to avidly follow!
Another incredible tour, Nick! Fairlane has packed an unbelievable amount of amenities into a 40 footer. The only thing I would change would be to redo the seating in the port side to add another drop balcony. Brilliant design though.
I have watched every review you made and this is easily top 5. For that price, this is brilliant. If i had the money, this is something i could see myself buying. Thanks, Nick!
Outstanding! The design and implementation is brilliant. High quality materials and finishes serounds you. She is definitely a beautiful boat. All this in a 40 foot boat! Remarkable!
A great video Nick ! Just reading the comments - it looks like this boat is going to be a winner. 🥇 The only problem is that Fairline only make about 20 of these per year for the world ! and we only have 3 left for the next 12 months 😂😂
So many ingenious ideas and all making the boat a better option. I particularly like (small detail I know) the ‘step-on’ groove along the side The interior finish is really good and although I tend to think you are a Princess fan you were yourself taken with this. Thanks, Nick, as ever for a great review. Would love to see a visit to their yard.
Fully kitted with bits and then some. Well done Fairline ! As always,thank you Nick.What a wonderful floating hotel suite.I could happily live aboard 1.
Have to say the way they’ve made use of the space is unreal. With galley and saloon area as big as it is plus the head and forward cabin I wasn’t expecting to see a rear cabin at all. Stunning and at that price point amazing. I’d love to see you review a Galeon 435 GTO….. like another comment if I win the lottery that’s what I’d go for.
Came in here to look for this comment. The only other time that statement has been close to true is his tour of the Princess V40. I'd love to know if Nick had the choice of one free one if he'd pick the V40 or the T40.
Really nice boat. For personal taste and bumbling locally ( France and back) a nicely thought out spec. Just right size for relatively easy owner helming and family days/ weeks. Some boats although owner specced always seem too big for my liking. This is smart, spacious, well specced, easy handled, quality and what a good price. Definitely one near the top of the shopping list. Nice tour Nick thanks.
Only Nick can make “Fluting” sound fantastic. BTW. HIGH GLOSS ALL DAY! Love it. Tremendous quality and brilliant engineering. Tender garage is phenomenal. Appreciate this more so than big yacht “Full Tours”. Cheers!😊
Ooh, new style Mirror Wave - I like! I think this boat is just about the minimum spec I'd ever want, with so much space and all the essential features - decently appointed galley, lounge area tucked away downstairs, everything accessible. Might benefit from a couple of extras like laundry facilities, but I expect that could be implemented. The best part is always when a builder uses all the available storage space, with those cool little cubby holes, though!
I’ve had my V39 for nearly 10 years (you’re welcome to visit Nick - it’s in the background of this vid) - love the size, this feels like the first proper upgrade available at around 40ft
Great tour and what a perfectly formed little Fairline !! Oozes design flair and quality . I think its high time one of these companies gave you a boat for a long term " test " Nick !!!
I am now convinced thanks to Nick, that the two most common activities carried out on a yacht are drinking and tucking yourself away with a good book. 😊😊
Absolutely love this boat Nick. If I had the money for this, I would live on it and travel the Great Lakes here in Michigan. That thing is full of surprises. All thumbs up here…..Oh , and we love you too. :-)
Really a great boat. Two cabins and a single heads, but you can see the quality of the materials and finishes. Great tour as always - almost to the 500k!!!
You are the best.. in this ..and you show to with many contribuuts...for construction brands to improve their yachts... with..more.. improve for yachts properties
I love this boat. I don't think it's quite big enough for a live aboard, but it's much much more than a weekender. What a fantastic place to spend a couple weeks (or months!) in some warm, blue water place. About the only thing I'd change would be to try to find a way to squeeze a chiller in there somewhere.
What an awesome boat!!!! I have a feeling that at the right price - maybe 2nd hand after a couple of years - this could actually become SB3!!!! Great tour as always!
Very intelligent design. Very classy. This mini yacht puts many larger and more expensive boats to shame. Well done Fairline. And to Nick also. No other person would ever do a better review.
If you get the chance this summer it would be interesting to see you do a comparison video with previous generations of the Targa 40. It would highlight just how much progress there’s been over the years. At the same time it would show people without the budget for a new 40 just what they could get for their money in the secondhand market. For a lot of people, particularly in the U.K. a T40 of some sort is a (just maybe possible) dream boat.
im no expert. in fact, everything ive learned about boats is from watching @aquaholic videos. yes, it's over half a million. but this vessel seems to be exceptional value for the money. id happily live on that beauty.
What an extraordinary boat. It's the Transformers of boating! The thought that has gone in to packing as many options of possible into the space is just mind blowing. As a plaything for a family it is unparelleled....fab boat....
This 40 ft Targa boat is just about perfect. When they come out with battery powered electric motors to drive it then it will be perfect. Outfitted with some of those high efficiency solar panels you could always get home !
Looks absolutely stunning… sports car on water… beautiful…!! If there are any owners of this exact boat out there… that doesn’t have the time for it anymore.. I would be willing to accept the gifted boat along with all running costs from any kind donor …. 😎🤘
Lovely boat and review of course. And love the use of the word 'thusly' which...mmm, is actually a real word - I have now discovered whilst on the foredeck!!
Considering the accommodations, quality of finishes and performance this is a lot of boat for the money. Once again Nick, thanks for bringing this beauty to our attention 😊
Targa had done it again. The smallest of the Targa but the same quality of her larger sister. Nice decor, and good use of interior and exterior deck space. Good price too. A family or two person boat. Like her.
Come on people, we need to get Nick to 500k subscribers, with a ton of likes, so UA-cam can buy him a Targa 40.
I'm not sure it works quite like that, but I appreciate the sentiment! 😃
Indeed. And next we are going for 1M subscribers :-)
@@AQUAHOLIC well, yeah its quite a bit of a stretch, but we never know! Though I already asked a lot of my family to subscribe to your channel 😂 a small contribution for you, Nick!
@@pierre.a.larsen Let him enjoy the Targa before he gets the Princess ;-)
He already owns Roman abramovich’s yacht, smugglers blues is just for the you tube channel and hmrc 😂

You're very welcome! 🙂
Time flies when you're having fun, that felt like 10 - 12 minutes but it is indeed half an hour in length.
44 seconds/foot. Usually only Nordhavens get that attention.
Lol I love how you know Nick so well 😂 We been loyal subscribers 😇
He's just repeating himself over and over and over and awkwardest guffawing repeatedly.
this has got to be the best small boat that we have seen for a long time. love it, love Fairline. Quality speaks!

Two boats in ONE -
A speed boat "up top"
A proper yacht below.
Very nice. Thanks Fairline and Nick, for the tour.
Our pleasure!
That is so perfectly laid out for a 40’ boat. And the attention to details is top notch. Absolutely beautiful.
I would love to see Nick do an episode where he talks to the designers and we see their creative processes.
The automotive channel Savagegeese has done some very good episodes talking to engineers and design teams from virtually every manufacturer.
I second your thoughts on Nick being able to talk to the manufacturers about the design process, customer feedback, etc. on what drives their decisions
I'd like to see some of the background too. I'm sure nick would be able to get some crazy access.
wow, she is absolutely incredible. The amount of space for a 40 footer is insane. I would definitely buy one if I had the finances. Your very own super yacht scaled down, just incredible. Thank you so much Nick for showing us around her
My pleasure! 🙂
This is one of the best boats I’ve seen in here in quite a while. I prefer galley down boats, so this would be my ideal boat, if I had the money😢
It's so hard to believe that this boat is only 500k, this might be my favorite sub $1,000,000 boat I've ever seen. Great work Nick!
Thank you!
It is not a $500K boat. In USA dealers are charging close to $1.5 million.
I love the Targa 40 and Targa 45GT. So much boat for the money and if you don’t have a huge family and tens of millions of dollars, why would you need anything else ? Another one million or so subscribers and it’s all yours Nick. Get the 45, it’s the best value under £1m in my opinion. 💪 👏
That layout is amazing. Huge cockpit area, comfortable living space inside, can easily sleep 6-7 (owners cabin bed is large enough for 3 😏), and usually a boat that size have 1 small kitchen & 1 fridge either inside or outside, but this one got fridges in both areas, and a fairly big grill outside in addition of the inside kitchen, AND a tender garage ?!?

No icemaker.
@@darthkek1953maybe the space under the helm seat can be optioned for it?
@@coreysnider5708 looked like a great spot imo.

WoW!! This may well be the BEST 40 footer you've ever had on the channel while I've been watching. It is so impressive. Brilliant!
Perfect! Hop across the channel, hug the coasts of France, Spain, Portugal and then onto the Med. Ooh to win the lottery.. Lovely tour Mr Nick as usual!
Thank you! 🙂
Love how whoever prepped the boat lobbed empty drinks cartons and rubbish into the sinks, not realising how thorough Nick’s tours are 😆
Love this boat

I wish! 😄
I love this boat! I could picture myself taking some family out for a little cruise where they can relax and sunbathe, then being able to sleep overnight in comfort. Love the Volvo Penta’s too.

It is very difficult for me to believe this is only 40ft boat. Brilliantly used space. Very impressing.
Thank you Nick for this tour again.
My pleasure!
Excellent! I was surprised that the interior was so spacious. Great tour, Nick!
Thank you!
What a boat, and what a bargain price. Great tour, as ever, Nick and you can tell how good this boat is by your enthusiasm and time required to cover all aspects the design and build with the quality shining through.

This boat should be in the text books for ergonomic design. Very clever indeed.
Yes, I think you would be a great captain on this Targa 40 Nick. Your boat tours are indeed excellent!

I’d love to see you review a Galeon 435 GTO….. like another comment if I win the lottery that’s what I’d go for.
Finally, a boat worth every penny, amazing what they have done with so little space. Congrats to fairline🎉🎉
Smuggler’s Blues 3 coming right up!
I wish!!
Came in here to look for this comment. The only other time that statement has been close to true is his tour of the Princess V40. I'd love to know if Nick had the choice of one free one if he'd pick the V40 or the T40.
Stunning craft love it! Also like the fact they have given so much access to the engines ❤
You said it Nick, a quality boat! I really like this and yes a 40ft its not cramped at all. Very Nice! Thanks as always for the tour.

They're certainly up there! 😄 ua-cam.com/video/J3L0KAUhPXs/v-deo.htmlsi=v9fcgOmKTH9qjk95
Absolutely love this boat Nick. If I had the money for this, I would live on it and travel the Great Lakes here in Michigan. That thing is full of surprises. All thumbs up here…..Oh , and we love you too. :-)
Thanks! 😄
Beautiful. I used to work for Aquafibre as a laminater. We made several plugs then moulds for Fairline....
Really a great boat. Two cabins and a single heads, but you can see the quality of the materials and finishes. Great tour as always - almost to the 500k!!!
Nearly there!
This is the boat to aspire to Nick, I think it would do you very well.
I agree!
Such a great tour loved seeing all the hidden tricks thanks Nick, and an excellent boat too!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
You are the best.. in this ..and you show to with many contribuuts...for construction brands to improve their yachts... with..more.. improve for yachts properties
I love this boat. I don't think it's quite big enough for a live aboard, but it's much much more than a weekender. What a fantastic place to spend a couple weeks (or months!) in some warm, blue water place. About the only thing I'd change would be to try to find a way to squeeze a chiller in there somewhere.
What an awesome boat!!!! I have a feeling that at the right price - maybe 2nd hand after a couple of years - this could actually become SB3!!!! Great tour as always!
We live in hope! 🙂
Very intelligent design. Very classy. This mini yacht puts many larger and more expensive boats to shame. Well done Fairline. And to Nick also. No other person would ever do a better review.
You're very kind 🙂
A very beautiful boat at a good price for what you get, great finishes and I like the dark wood. Great tour Nick thank you.
Thanks for watching!
This boat is way better than most $1M boats out there.
If you get the chance this summer it would be interesting to see you do a comparison video with previous generations of the Targa 40. It would highlight just how much progress there’s been over the years. At the same time it would show people without the budget for a new 40 just what they could get for their money in the secondhand market. For a lot of people, particularly in the U.K. a T40 of some sort is a (just maybe possible) dream boat.
im no expert. in fact, everything ive learned about boats is from watching @aquaholic videos. yes, it's over half a million. but this vessel seems to be exceptional value for the money. id happily live on that beauty.
What an extraordinary boat. It's the Transformers of boating! The thought that has gone in to packing as many options of possible into the space is just mind blowing. As a plaything for a family it is unparelleled....fab boat....
This 40 ft Targa boat is just about perfect. When they come out with battery powered electric motors to drive it then it will be perfect. Outfitted with some of those high efficiency solar panels you could always get home !
Lovely boat Nick, they've squeezed a lot into a 40 footer and made it look good as well.👍🏴
Looks absolutely stunning… sports car on water… beautiful…!!
If there are any owners of this exact boat out there… that doesn’t have the time for it anymore.. I would be willing to accept the gifted boat along with all running costs from any kind donor …. 😎🤘
I'm excited about this boat! I mean for a young couple this would be a blast
Lovely boat and review of course. And love the use of the word 'thusly' which...mmm, is actually a real word - I have now discovered whilst on the foredeck!!
Considering the accommodations, quality of finishes and performance this is a lot of boat for the money. Once again Nick, thanks for bringing this beauty to our attention 😊
It's a pleasure 🙂
Targa had done it again. The smallest of the Targa but the same quality of her larger sister. Nice decor, and good use of interior and exterior deck space. Good price too. A family or two person boat. Like her.
