Fairline Squardon 74
By Elizabeth Ginns Britten — Fall
2004
This 74-footer is the largest Fairline Squadron the builder offers. She has clean lines and a sleek profile, and she’s as practical as she is attractive. Even better, each boat can be customized to suit whatever your cruising needs might be.

offers a lot of flexibility in the Squadron 74. Take the dining area,
for example: Just through curved double glass doors and up a single step
from the saloon, she has a lacquered table with seating for six—with
an option to extend that to eight—and a grain-matched wooden cocktail
bar. You can also opt to have the galley closed off using an electric
sliding panel.
A four-cabin layout (which sleeps up to ten guests) is standard, but if you’re into privacy, the three-cabin option includes en suite facilities and a larger master cabin with dressing rooms. Both have a cabin for two crew below the saloon.
The flying bridge is a true all-weather space. It’s accessed via teak steps from the aft deck or main helm area (which includes multidirectional, adjustable Recaro seats for the captain and co-captain). There’s also an aft dining area with seating for eight, a nice complement to the wet bar, sink, refrigerator, griddle, and ice maker.
With a top speed in the 30-knot range, the Squadron 74 has a base price of $2,995,000 with twin 1,400-hp Caterpillar 3412E diesels.
