2009 Fairline Squadron 55

The 2009 Fairline Squadron 55 is a superb example of one of Fairline’s most successful flybridge motor yachts. Designed by the renowned Bernard Olesinski, the Squadron 55 combines exhilarating performance with luxurious accommodation, superb sea-keeping and elegant styling, making her equally at home on extended cruising adventures or entertaining family and friends. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D12-800 diesel engines on shaft drives, she delivers effortless cruising performance and reassuring offshore capability. Handling is made exceptionally simple thanks to SidePower bow and stern thrusters, both operated from the lower helm, flybridge helm and the additional third cockpit docking station, providing complete confidence when manoeuvring in marinas. Stepping aboard, the extensive teak-laid cockpit, bathing platform, flybridge and side decks immediately demonstrate the quality of this yacht.

A hydraulic passerelle, stern docking winches, side boarding ladder, upgraded anchor package and Glendenning Cablemaster further enhance ease of handling whether cruising with family or short-handed. The flybridge is perfectly designed for entertaining, featuring generous wraparound seating, a large dining table, expansive sunbathing area and a fully equipped wet bar complete with electric grill, sink, refrigerator and icemaker. A bimini top provides welcome shade during warmer days, while the elevated helm offers excellent visibility underway.
