Fairline

British motor yachts with sporting genes, built in Oundle since 1963.

Fairline was founded in 1963 by Jack Newington and grew from Oundle in Northamptonshire into one of the best-known British builders of motor yachts. Over the years the company has had various owners, from investment firms to a relaunch as Fairline Yachts Ltd in 2016. The boats are still finished by hand by craftsmen in Oundle.

The current range consists of four series. The F//LINE 33 is a sporty day boat, with inboard or outboard engines. The Targa range comprises open sports cruisers and coupés from 40 to 58 feet, the Squadron range flybridge yachts of 50 and 58 feet, and the Phantom 65, as a sportsbridge, combines the profile of a sports cruiser with the space of a flybridge.
