Each delivery of a Fairline yacht that Strong's Yachts receives from the UK becomes increasingly exciting. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the highly anticipated Phantom 65 from Fairline in January 2024, right here in New York. Robb Report, a prestigious magazine based in the United Kingdom, is full of praise for the Phantom 65, describing it as a "Light-Filled 65-Foot Yacht" and one of Fairline's most cutting-edge designs to date.
The Transformation of the Fairline Brand
Since its establishment in 1963, Fairline has undergone a remarkable transformation, transitioning from a reliable and conservative design approach to one that is both reliable and cutting-edge. This evolution has been driven by the collaboration with renowned Italian designer, Alberto Mancini, whose innovative touch has pushed Fairline's designs to new limits. With a clear objective to create motor yachts that exude an international flair rather than a strictly British aesthetic, Fairline has truly embraced a global perspective in their design philosophy.
This vessel represents Fairline's venture into sport-bridge yachts and, according to Robb Report, it marks a departure from the traditional Phantom design. According to Fairline's CEO, Paul Grys, while the iconic Phantom name has been preserved, the new model surpasses all expectations and establishes a groundbreaking benchmark for the brand. In truth, when it comes to the design of this yacht, the Phantom name is the sole element that remains unchanged.

The Phantom line marries the Squadrons interior space with the Targa's streamlined proportions while including sleek lines, large hull windows and a deep-set flybridge for outdoor living. The 65 foot tri-deck truly allows for flexibility on the vessel. In a separate feature, Robb Report refers to the Phantom 65 by Fairline as the "Rolls-Royce on the High Seas."
