Fairline Squadron 74 - Model Overview
Everything we've learned in nearly 40 years of building fine motor yachts is embodied in the breathtakingly elegant, award-winning Squadron 74. From the well proven sea-going hull form to the smallest detail of the cabinetry, we have drawn on the lessons learned from the creation of more than 10,000 Fairline boats to create a Grand Luxe motor yacht quite without peer.

From design concept to computer model - to full-size walk-through mock-up - absolutely nothing has been left to chance; every inch of this boat fits a precise design purpose. Quite simply, the Squadron 74 is the embodiment of what a luxury performance motor yacht should be; and she is without equal. She took three years to develop, and countless thousands of man-hours. And it shows.

The magnificence of the Squadron 74 extends way beyond concepts of pure size. Large, luminous public spaces; grand private staterooms that combine light, space and air to stunning effect; and everywhere, the dazzling interplay between the finest materials (hand-selected marble work surfaces, hand-matched burrs and exotic woods) and state-of-the-art design accents and features.

It's unlikely that you'd ever encounter a 'standard' Squadron 74, because its owner will have dictated virtually every aspect of this motor yacht, from the arrangement of the accommodation to the choice of electronics, materials and finishes. The boat will sleep eight to ten, depending on whether you choose the three or four-cabin layout.

There are multiple choices in the seating numbers around the saloon dining table; fixed sofa instead of breakfast bar and stools; fully equipped aft utility room or twin-berth crew cabin with en suite shower and toilet facilities.

The same freedom of choice applies when it comes to tenders and water toys: select the concealed transom garage (with hydraulic launching and recovery facilities for a RIB up to 3.5m in size) or go for the additional flybridge crane option to lift your personal watercraft in and out with ease and simplicity.

Below and amidships, in the digitally controlled, air-conditioned ambience, you'll find a truly spectacular owner's stateroom.

It features, amongst other delights, six large, vertical portholes that encourage light and air to flood into the room; an en suite private dressing room, separate en suite private bathroom with large walk¬in shower and body jets (or optional whirlpool bath) a king-size double bed, LCD television, Bose® DVD/CD/Radio entertainment centre, settee, bird's eye maple vanity unit/office desk, concealed floor lighting and security safe. Even the owner's literary needs have been considered, with the inclusion of a bookcase, cleverly concealed behind elegant wood panelling. The beautiful forward guest stateroom and third cabin each have private facilities.

The sheer size of the magnificent flybridge affords three distinct social areas: first, the upper helm position, where the helmsman can be literally at the centre of the gathering; then a large dining area complete with comprehensively equipped galley; and at the aft, a large, separate sunbathing and 'party' area. In short, a huge and commanding bridge that offers a unique atmosphere and experience for you and your guests to enjoy when you're under way ... and when you're not!

Fairline Squadron 74 - Range Overview
In the Squadron models, Fairline build integrity achieves its highest expression. The design goal for each of the four Squadron models was, quite simply, to be the best in its class; consequently, the use of the term ‘luxury’ in the context of these motor yachts verges on understatement. Here, the demanding owner will find levels of equipment, detailing, and fit and finish not available elsewhere. Lacquered, hand polished fine woods and inlays, the finest hand-selected furnishings and fabrics, and generous living spaces combine to create and exquisite ambience in which to relax, explore and entertain.

Fairline Squadron 74 - Brochure Foreword
THE FAIRLINE MARQUE WAS BORN of one man's vision and passion for excellence. Jack Newington, the company's founder, was a man committed to the highest ideals of quality and integrity; more than that, he had the rare ability to take his own high standards and values and weave them into the fabric of what was to become a hugely successful enterprise. Even today, forty years later, these values still drive everything we do. Fairline excels at building beautiful boats that delight, exhilarate and astonish their owners. This is the marque for those who look beyond the brash and the superficial; these are boats with a beauty and integrity that is very much 'More than Skin Deep'.

Exceeding the expectations of some of the most quality-sensitive customers in the world isn't easy. The ability to deliver real pleasure of ownership, year after year, calls for an unwavering company culture and an unquestioning core commitment, to build the very best. That Fairline has succeeded is readily apparent. Praise and the attention of the world's press greets each new Fairline introduction, and the marque commands universal respect for its unique ability to meld traditional skilled craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovations of the 21st century. Success is apparent, too, in the satisfyingly high residual values associated with our motor yachts, and - above all - in the fact that Fairline owners wishing to explore new models overwhelmingly do so within rather than outside the Fairline stable.

Stunning, exhilarating and seductive though they are on the surface, there's much, much more to a Fairline than meets the eye. Come, let's explore.

A FAIRLINE IS IN THE DETAILS. Every Fairline is the confluence of a bold creative vision, a clear sense of purpose and a sound seafaring pragmatism. These attributes combine to create a motor yacht that intuitively feels 'right', instilling a sense of comfort and confidence in everyone who steps aboard.

The evocative lines of each boat are a classic merging of form and function. The hull form - responsible for the dry, secure and responsive ride that is the hallmark of every Fairline - comes from the studios of renowned naval architect Bernard Olesinski, while Fairline's Design, Engineering and Product Development team creates and refines every other aspect of the boat's design - from the bold style statements of the superstructure to the smallest interior detail.

Enriching the wealth of practical in-house design experience is feedback from our worldwide network of dealers and, above all from Fairline owners. We support international rallies; enabling Fairline designers to talk directly with Fairline customers about real-world, hands-on design issues and practicalities.

And it's not mere talk, either. Recent improvements include changes to dashboard and instrumentation layouts, the darkening of materials in certain areas to minimise glare, and the separation of compass and gauge illumination to maximise night-vision retention.

Such practical touches abound, making every moment aboard a pleasure. You might take for granted the self-parking wipers, or the eye-friendly red night-lighting at the lower helm position, but if you've spent much time at cruising speed aboard other motor yachts, you'll certainly appreciate the ingenious fixed crockery stowage and the push-flush, anti-rattle door locks fitted throughout your Fairline.

For the same, eminently practical reasons, when you need a cockpit power socket to inflate the dinghy, you'll find one waiting, working (thanks to thorough waterproofing) and perfectly to hand. Overhead handrails will always, magically, be where they should be. And when you see the lengths to which we have gone to ensure that your enjoyment of a peaceful anchorage is not disturbed by noisy generators or the dribble and splash of their seawater exhausts, you'll start to understand the essence of the Fairline philosophy: quality, integrity and pride of ownership cannot be a pretty but fragile veneer... it must run very deep.

UNMATCHED LEVELS OF SERVICE. A vitally important part of the experience of being a Fairline owner is the commitment and integrity you will encounter at your local Fairline dealership. These are highly professional, thriving businesses in their own right, serving as representatives of Fairline within a network of dealerships stretching right around the world.

Your Fairline dealer will enhance every aspect of your Fairline ownership. His intimate local knowledge and experience will help you find the right Fairline, and ensure that it delivers the supreme pleasure of ownership for which this marque is justly renowned. Should the need arise, your Fairline dealer will also help you take advantage of the traditionally buoyant brokerage market, helping you to trade up smoothly and easily.
