Fairline 39 Targa

Fairline 39 Targa: Private Motor Yacht for Eight on the Ligurian Coast

The Fairline 39 Targa is a 12-metre British motor yacht, originally built in 1996 and completely refitted in 2024, that sits at a particularly useful point in the fleet: larger and more comfortable than the Nimbus W9, more manoeuvrable and accessible than the Maiora 20 Fly, and well-sized for groups of up to 8 guests who want a full private charter without the scale of the biggest vessels. Fast, well-designed and capable across all conditions, the Fairline is the natural choice for families and small groups based in La Spezia looking for a day on the Gulf of Poets or the wider Ligurian Riviera.

Two Sundecks, One Continuous Outdoor Space

The Fairline’s layout is defined by two distinct outdoor spaces that together cover the full length of the boat:

  • Large bow sundeck — wide and flat, designed for sunbathing across the full arc of the day, with easy access from the foredeck
  • Stern cockpit with convertible sundeck table — a comfortable social space at the back of the boat that converts into a second full sundeck when the table is folded, giving the group an alternative outdoor area close to the water

The two spaces mean that 8 guests can spread out naturally across the boat without crowding, and the transition between swimming, sunbathing and relaxing at the cockpit table is seamless throughout the day. Twin Volvo Penta 231 hp engines make transfers between stops efficient without sacrificing the time spent at anchor.

Five Tours from Porto Mirabello, La Spezia

All Fairline 39 Targa tours depart from Porto Mirabello, La Spezia. Five itineraries are available, covering everything from a 3-hour evening aperitif to the full Portofino day:

  • Sunset Aperitif (3 hours, up to 8 guests) — an evening cruise to Portovenere and the Palmaria archipelago with Byron’s Grotto, a swimming stop and aperitif served on board at golden hour.
  • Half Day Gulf of Poets (4 hours, up to 8 guests) — morning or afternoon slot covering Lerici with the Castle of San Giorgio, Fiascherino, Tellaro, the UNESCO islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, and Portovenere with the Church of San Pietro.
  • Gulf of Poets (7 hours, up to 8 guests) — the complete full-day itinerary with local aperitif and wine included on board, and optional shore landing on Palmaria Island for a traditional Ligurian lunch or in Portovenere for a village walk.
  • Cinque Terre (7 hours, up to 8 guests) — the Gulf of Poets route extended to the five UNESCO fishing villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, seen in panoramic view from open water. Optional landings on Palmaria and in Portovenere on the return.
  • Portofino (8 hours, up to 8 guests) — the most ambitious itinerary: Portovenere, the Cinque Terre coast and Portofino harbour with its celebrated piazzetta, in a single day along the full eastern Ligurian Riviera.

Fairline 39 Targa: Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Fairline 39 Targa compare to the other boats in the fleet?

At 12 metres and refitted in 2024, the Fairline sits between the Nimbus W9 (9.5m, 6 guests) and the Maiora 20 Fly (20m, 12 guests) in size and capacity. It accommodates 8 guests and departs from Porto Mirabello, La Spezia — the same port as the Maiora, with a more compact and accessible format for mid-sized groups.

Does the Fairline 39 Targa have authorisation to enter the Cinque Terre Marine Park?

No. The Fairline 39 Targa does not hold the Cinque Terre Park Authority inshore authorisation and sails at the permitted distance of approximately 2 miles from the coast. All five villages are admired in panoramic view from open water. For inshore access and landing in Vernazza, see the Cinque Terre on Goletta or Cinque Terre on Nimbus W9 tours.

Is the local aperitif and wine included in all Fairline tours?

The local Ligurian aperitif with wine is included as standard in the full-day Gulf of Poets tour. The Sunset Aperitif includes its own on-board aperitif as part of the experience. For the Half Day, Cinque Terre and Portofino tours, catering is not included in the base price — optional add-ons can be discussed at booking via WhatsApp at +39 393 8460930.
