What’s it like to drive the near 50ft flagship of the Targa range, the Targa 46? In this sea trial - the first on YouTube - Jack Haines gets behind the wheel to give you an in-depth driving review and walkthrough tour of one of the most capable 50ft leisure boats on the planet.
There are some products that define a genre and if you want a 50ft boat that will go through pretty much anything, Targa is the brand you turn to. But this isn't any Targa, this is the approximately £1,000,000 flagship of the range and if its smaller siblings are anything to go by, this could be one of the most capable boats of its size.
The boat is available with or without a flybridge, with sterndrives or IPS and with two or three cabins but the thing that all versions share is a laser-guided focus on practicality and usability. You won't see gimmicks here, this is a boat designed with purpose and that purpose is to be used day in, day out in whatever weather is thrown at it.
It faces stiff competition from some fellow Finns, however, so let's delve into the Targa 46 and see if it's as good on board as it appears to be on paper.
Let us know in the comments below whether you would prefer the Targa, the Sargo 45 of the Nord Star 49.
