SQUADRON 53
Command and control. Now, you have the helm.
Built to order and built around you, the new Fairline Squadron 53 is the exhilarating choice for those who want their boat, their way.
From its striking swept flybridge, to its category-defining flexibility of layout, this boat delivers an uncompromising experience – for those who drive it and those enjoying the remarkable space you have created.
And you’ll appreciate this no-compromise approach in everything you touch, from superior engineering and equipment, to those small details that delight.
So, exhilaration, personalisation and quality… what does that all add up to? You don’t get a boat that’s close to your ideal. You build a boat that is your ideal.
For the uncompromising, nothing less will do.
