The new Fairline Targa 58 GTO has a clever trick up its sleeve. Or rather, two of them. Fold down the balconies on both sides and the cockpit grows from 19.2m² to 27.2m². https://www.approvedboats.com/boats-for-sale/10163803-2027-fairline-targa-58-gto-southampton-united-kingdom/

There’s another transformation at the stern. The extending Beach Club platform increases the waterside area from 4.4m² to 9.2m², while the drop-down patio door opens up the cockpit and saloon into one continuous space.

Below deck there are three cabins, including a full-beam master, and the garage has space for a Williams 325 or 345 tender.

The Targa 58 GTO makes its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, 8–13 September, before heading to the Southampton International Boat Show, 18–27 September.

If the new 58 GTO is on your Cannes or Southampton viewing list, speak with our team on 023 8045 6544.

How much accommodation do you actually need from a 30ft cruiser? The Aquador 300 HT manages seven berths in a 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 arrangement, with the layout doing a lot of the work rather than simply relying on one large convertible space: https://www.approvedboats.com/new-boats/aquador-boats/aquador-300-ht/

The forward cabin sleeps two adults, with an extending berth beneath for a child. There is also a separate mid cabin, while the cockpit can be enclosed and converted when extra sleeping space is needed.

With a well-equipped galley, 85-litre fridge, heating, hot water, and practical storage, the 300 HT is perfect for family cruising where every inch counts.

The Aquador 300 HT is available to order through our team at Kip Marina. Speak with us on 01475 322 122.

A smaller boat doesn't have to mean smaller plans. From weekends away to longer coastal passages, there's plenty of serious cruising capability to be found under 40 feet.

The 2008 Nimbus 380 Commander is a good example. Built to Swedish Category B standards and powered by twin Volvo Penta D4-300hp diesels, it's equipped for the days when conditions aren't quite as the forecast promised. Heating, generator, bow and stern thrusters and direct deck access from the helm all add to its year-round cruising credentials.

Prefer to cover the miles rather more quickly? The 2007 Fairline Targa 38 brings twin Volvo Penta D6-310hp engines and 35+ knot performance, alongside the accommodation and cockpit space for weekends away. Fresh preparation in July 2026 includes servicing, antifoul, anodes, polishing and a full valet.

The 1995 Skilso 975 Arctic comes with a cruising history that speaks for itself. The North Sea, Caledonian Canal, Mull, Skye and the Small Isles are already in its logbook, while upgraded lithium power, modern Garmin and Raymarine navigation and recent maintenance prepare it for wherever comes next.

And arriving soon at Ocean Village, the 2017 Bavaria S33 HT gives you the open feel of a sports cruiser when the weather cooperates and hardtop protection when it doesn't. Add Volvo Penta joystick control for close-quarters manoeuvring and it's a particularly practical package for UK boating.

You don't necessarily need to go bigger to go further. You need the right boat for where you want to go next.
