2014 Fairline Targa 38 Open

Step aboard and the first thing you’ll notice is how open and social the cockpit layout feels. The Targa 38 Open makes the most of its beam with a generous U-shaped aft lounge, wet bar, and helm seating that keeps the skipper in the conversation. Below, the galley and saloon are surprisingly bright thanks to large hull windows and thoughtful lighting, so overnights feel more like a boutique suite than a typical 38-footer. The forward cabin offers real privacy with a solid door, while the mid-cabin can flex between twin berths or a lounge for kids or guests. Wide side decks and sturdy rails make moving forward to handle lines or relax at the bow both safe and comfortable.

For waters where you’re mixing short hops, weekend escapes, and the occasional longer run, the Targa 38 Open hits a sweet spot. Its size is ideal for slipping into tighter slips and crowded marinas, yet it has the presence and seakeeping to handle choppy afternoons with confidence. The open cockpit and retractable roof encourage true indoor-outdoor living, perfect for warm climates where you’ll spend most of your time on deck. Air-conditioned accommodations below provide a cool retreat when the sun is high, and the generous storage lets you load up water toys, provisions, and luggage without cluttering the decks.
