Fairline Turbo 36 for sale in Kent £44,950
A classic example of the highly regarded Fairline Turbo 36, this 1989 motor cruiser offers an excellent combination of space, comfort and performance. Powered by twin Volvo Penta TAMD61 306 hp diesel engines with approximately 2,400 hours, she provides a proven and capable cruising platform.
Offering accommodation for six in three cabins, the spacious interior includes a particularly generous aft cabin with a full-size double berth and en-suite heads. The large cockpit provides an ideal space for entertaining, dining or relaxing, with further outdoor accommodation available on the flybridge.
Navigation and cruising equipment includes an array of electronics, with Garmin chartplotters and AIS, while the bow thruster makes manoeuvring in marinas considerably easier.
She was last out of the water in September 2026 for the application of new antifouling. Some osmosis is present within the hull, and this has been fully reflected in the asking price.
