Fairline’s highly customisable Squadron 78 CUSTOM now offers even greater flexibility, thanks to a new hard-top version of this iconic motor yacht.
In response to consumer demand The Squadron 78 CUSTOM is now available with an integrated fixed flybridge hard-top surrounding an electric retractable canvas roof. The new roof brings a permanent structure to the already commanding flybridge, with large sunbathing area and plenty of space for open-air entertaining.
The new hard-top model recently concluded sea trials at Fairline’s test facility in Ipswich. The first boat has already been handed over to her new owner and the second left the test facility last week.
Kevin Gaskell, CEO Fairline Boats, comments: “We are very excited to be launching a hard-top version of the Squadron 78 CUSTOM, a model that has proved to be the most successful in its category. We have always sought ways to adapt our range to the needs of our customers and work closely with them to create high-end motor yachts that are truly unique. The Squadron 78 CUSTOM is a great example of this, as our most bespoke and customised Fairline boat ever. The new roof makes this world-beating luxurious boat even more suited to comfortable entertaining in the sunshine.”
