As part of a spectacular Fairline model line-up at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat
Show, British luxury motor yacht manufacturer, Fairline Boats is showing the Squadron 42.
The Squadron 42 was launched at the latter part of last year and is the newest Fairline
Squadron flybridge motor yacht to appear in the US.
The smallest in the Squadron range, the two cabin, two en-suite Squadron 42 is finished to
the highest standard and incorporates many of the design and technology advances
pioneered on the larger Squadron models. A key feature that sets the Squadron 42 apart
from its competitors includes the extra-large flybridge, perfect for relaxing and entertaining
guests.
The accommodation on the Squadron 42 includes a light, airy saloon with full length
windows and sumptuous furnishings, which leads to the large, light-filled galley. Expansive
use of glazing throughout the boat creates bright and well-lit accommodation, from the galley
to the master cabin. The starboard guest cabin almost doubles in useable size when its twin
doors to en-suite are open. ‘Floating’ furniture increases the appearance of floor size
throughout the cabins. The same sense of space and ‘big boat’ luxury is further enhanced by
the openness of the extra-large flybridge and the cockpit with two-way bench that allows aftfacing
seating.

• The Squadron 42’s aft cockpit is teak-laid throughout and features a versatile seat with an adjustable backrest, enabling guests to sit facing forward or aft.
• There is ample storage space beneath for shoreline cables, gas bottle and 4 fenders.
• Foredeck and warp lockers are also provided.

• The table converts to a sun-bed in the aft position.

  according to individual tastes.

Starboard Guest cabin

• The introduction of a unique, open-plan guest cabin and en-suite arrangement creates a spacious guest accommodation.
• The double doors open up the starboard en-suite to the
  cabin, concealing the toilet and creating extra cabin space.
• Guests also benefit from a fullheight
  shower cubicle with seat, basin, vanity unit locker and mirror.
• The flexibility of the layout also enables the single, full-length beds to be converted to a double.
• The bedside stowage and wardrobe provide plentiful storage space.
• A long panoramic window with opening port is located in hull.

• A handrail with glass partition connects the saloon with the galley.
• In recognition of the needs of on-board entertaining, the galley is one of the largest yet seen on a flybridge boat of this size as it utilizes space under the saloon floor, and will accommodate an under counter refrigerator and optional freezer.

  and extra larder space built into the bulkhead.
