The Fairline Squadron 65 from luxury motor yacht manufacturer, Fairline Boats, is making her debut at several key European shows this year.

The all-new model makes her first show appearances at the Cannes International Boat Show and the PSP Southampton Boat Show, both taking place in September, followed by Genoa International Boat Show during October. The four-cabin Squadron is finished to the highest standard of British craftsmanship and offers owners sophisticated, spacious living areas to relax and entertain. Understanding that owners like to offer luxury to their guests, the designers have created a forward stateroom as luxuriously appointed as the mid-ships full beam master stateroom.

A full length overhead window in this forward stateroom allows guests to enjoy an airiness previously unseen in the sector. The starboard guest cabin comprises of side by side twin berths complete with en-suite shower/WC compartment, hanging locker and stowage. Also available is an optional aft cabin, with large transom windows that allow light to flood into the cabin.

Other key features of the latest Squadron model include a single-level flat floor extends from the saloon through to the dinette and galley area, providing an exceptional feeling of spaciousness.

As with all Squadrons, the flybridge accommodation on the Squadron 65 will allow owners and guests ample room to relax in comfort – either when dining at the fixed, 6-seater table or sunbathing on the plentiful lounge areas fore and aft.

The Squadron 65 is highly specified throughout and features the latest technological advancements expected as standard by modern-day boaters and their guests accustomed to luxury products. A touch-screen console at the helm station, the Fairline Systems ‘PILOT’ gives the owner control and access of the boat’s electrical system. When powered by 2 x Caterpillar C18-1015 mhp Diesel engines, she will have an anticipated top speed of 33 knots*.

When powered by 2 x MAN V10 1100 mhp Diesel engines, she will have an anticipated top speed of 34 knots*.
