The Jeanneau DB/43 marks the launch of a new cruiser line by these French boat builders. The 13.1-metre yacht provides ample space on board and is therefore more than just a boat for the day, even though this is suggested by the letters DB for Day Boat – a term that was last used by Jeanneau in the 1980s. Now DB is back again, designed by Jeanneau’s in-house designer Camillo Garroni.
The Targa line from the UK boat builders Fairline has been inspiring the premium sector for a decade and a half now. The new Fairline Targa 40 builds on the success of the Targa 38.

This includes a flybridge with an integrated terrace, a large stern terrace on the main deck, a generously sized foredeck and three spacious double cabins below deck.
