Fairline Phantom 50

Summary<b>Twin Volvo D12-675s | Extensive Documented Maintenance | Major Recent Investment | Indoor Stored INTRODUCTION</b> This Fairline Phantom 50 stands out for the level of investment and care during her present ownership, combining twin Volvo Penta D12-675 675hp engines with approximately 1,750 hours, extensive documented mechanical maintenance, bow and stern thrusters and the considerable benefit of indoor/covered storage. More than €36,000 of documented engine, mechanical and sterngear works were completed during 2022 and 2023 alone, forming part of a wider programme of preventative maintenance, renewal and upgrading since the current owner acquired her in 2020. Further investment has included renewal of both bow and stern thrusters, Mastervolt 5kW inverter/charger, batteries, rudder tubes, seacocks, vacuum toilets, refrigerator and numerous pumps and domestic systems. Her cruising specification is equally comprehensive, including an approximately 17.5kW Onan generator, reverse-cycle air conditioning, Webasto diesel heating, underfloor heating, hydraulic passerelle and Raymarine navigation equipment at both helm stations. Four-cabin accommodation, including a separate aft crew/guest cabin, provides genuinely practical family cruising accommodation, complemented by a spacious saloon, well-equipped galley, generous cockpit and the large flybridge for which the Phantom 50 is particularly well known. <b>BROKER’S COMMENTS</b> Fairline’s Phantom 50 has long been a popular choice for owners wanting the accommodation and presence of a substantial flybridge motor yacht without moving into a significantly larger and more demanding boat. What particularly attracted us to this example is the supporting history behind her maintenance. The seller has retained professional invoices for significant elements of the work, including a major programme of engine and cooling-system maintenance in 2022 and extensive sterngear work in 2023. More recent preventative maintenance and renewals have continued, including batteries in 2026 and a Mastervolt inverter/charger in 2025. Indoor storage is another meaningful advantage. Since purchasing her in 2020, the present owner has kept the yacht under cover in a private boathouse in Sneek. On a yacht of this age, protection from year-round exposure to weather and UV can make a considerable difference to exterior finishes, upholstery, covers, seals and general presentation. The result is a Phantom 50 that deserves consideration not simply on age and price, but on condition, specification, maintenance history and the investment already made by her current owner.
