Course plotted for Fairline Squadron 65's first show season

The starboard guest cabin comprises of side by side twin berths complete with en-suite shower/WC compartment, hanging locker and stowage. Also available is an optional aft cabin, with large transom windows that allow light to flood into the cabin.


Other key features of the latest Squadron model include a single-level flat floor extends from the saloon through to the dinette and galley area, providing an exceptional feeling of spaciousness.


As with all Squadrons, the flybridge accommodation on the Squadron 65 will allow owners and guests ample room to relax in comfort - either when dining at the fixed, 6-seater table or sunbathing on the plentiful lounge areas fore and aft.


The Squadron 65 is highly specified throughout and features the latest technological advancements expected as standard by modern-day boaters and their guests accustomed to luxury products. A touch-screen console at the helm station, the Fairline Systems 'PILOT' gives the owner control and access of the boat's electrical system.


The price of the Squadron 65 starts from £1,218,900 excluding UK VAT.
