Description




FREEDOM W is a stunning example of the famous Fairline 78 Squadron. She is a very well-kept Motor Yacht being privately used. She presents at her best with a refined walnut interior combining gloss finish. She benefits from a regular maintenance service afloat. The Fairline 78 Squadron was and still is a class leading design from the Fairline shipyard, the clever design of a flybridge boat, to have four large sized cabins, large saloon and galley next to the helm, the 78 perhaps ahead of the modern designs of today. Her exhaustive Inventory includes : hi-lo bathing platform, 2 x Generators, Hydraulic bow & stern thruster, Underwater Lights ... Viewings are highly recommended. AccommodationThe 2008 Fairline Squadron 78 offers luxurious accommodation with rich American Cherry cabinetry and refined materials that create a warm inviting atmosphere.
