2009 Fairline 68

Manufacturer Provided Description
Since its launch, the Squadron 68 has been highly praised by her owners and the world's press alike. She too, was awarded the Motorboat of the Year trophy in her class of 2007. The innovative features, cutting-edge design concepts and radically modern styling of the interior have impressed everyone who has been aboard to experience this unique level of 'large yacht' luxury. The sheer space available for moving around and socializing is instantly appealing; the magnificent saloon with its separate dining area; the elegant master stateroom with its large vertical windows; the spacious 4-cabin layout and sumptuous guest accommodation; the massive flybridge deck; the impressive cockpit area; the provision of discreet transom access for the crew cabin. This truly is a 'large' yacht, in every sense of the word. The Squadron 68 may make many fresh statements in style, furnishings, décor finishes and on-board facilities, yet her handling and performance are still precisely what owners expect from a Fairline; the superbly quiet, comfortable and confident ride that is the hallmark of these fine yachts. The Squadron 68 is one of our larger yachts and clients can rely on the specialist advice, experience and exclusive services of our YACHT DIVISION throughout the order and commissioning process.
