A few of our pre-owned highlights this week, from sporty weekend cruising to much larger flybridge living. Boat show prices are being honoured until the end of October too, so take a look at what’s available now.

2012 Sealine SC42
The electric opening roof completely changes the cockpit in seconds, while the sliding aft seating can switch from dining for eight to a large sunbed. Add two en-suite cabins and it’s easy to see why the SC42 works so well for weekends away.

2007 Fairline Targa 38
Still one of Fairline’s most recognisable sports cruisers. Twin Volvo D6 310hp engines give it 35+ knot performance, and this example has just had a full 2026 preparation programme including servicing, bellows, antifoul, anodes, polishing and valeting.

2018 Galeon 470 Skydeck
One owner from new, under 400 engine hours and fitted with Galeon’s signature Beach Mode balconies. The electric sliding skybridge cover gives you a flybridge when you want it without losing the sleek profile of the yacht.

2012 Fairline Squadron 58
A very different proposition again. Bow and stern thrusters plus a Yacht Controller make docking easier, while its current MCA charter coding gives the next owner the option of generating income to help offset running costs.

Interested in any of these and want to know what we can offer? Talk to us: 023 8045 6544

The most customised Absolute Navetta 53 ever built is in stock in Southampton and available for immediate delivery: https://www.approvedboats.com/boats-for-sale/10150439-2025-absolute-navetta-53-southampton-united-kingdom/

This is a particularly high-specification example, with the kind of detail and finish that makes the Navetta 53 feel very individual rather than simply another production yacht.

Offers are available, and for serious buyers who want to take the next step, a sea trial can be arranged.

If you’d prefer to speak directly to our team, call us on 023 8045 6544 and we’ll be happy to help.

New into Southampton, this 2013 Fairline Targa 38 GT is a beautifully cared-for hardtop sports cruiser with twin Volvo Penta D4 300hp engines: https://www.approvedboats.com/boats-for-sale/10163817-2013-fairline-targa-38gt-southampton-united-kingdom/

There have been plenty of useful updates too, including new Garmin GPS in 2023, new rear covers and stainless duo props in 2025, plus engine and sterndrive servicing in 2026 with the bellows replaced.

With a hardtop, bow thruster, generator, heating and teak cockpit, it has everything in place for weekends away and longer coastal trips.

A 47ft Absolute is coming to Southampton soon. This 2008 Absolute 47 HT is currently in Portugal and is being fully prepared ahead of its arrival: https://www.approvedboats.com/boats-for-sale/10163792-2008-absolute-47-ht-southampton-united-kingdom/

The prep includes antifouling, anodes, engine and pod servicing, systems checks, polishing and a full valet, followed by warranty and a comprehensive handover.

With sleek Italian styling, a proper sports-cruiser feel and plenty of space for weekends away or longer trips, the 47 HT gives you a lot of Absolute without stepping into new-yacht money.

Part exchange can be considered and finance assistance is available.

Only two days left at SIBS, and if Nimbus is on your radar, this weekend is a good time to come and have a proper look. From the 305 Coupé through to the Sport Tender 35, Sport Tender 42 and 495 Flybridge, there’s a broad mix on show: https://www.approvedboats.com/events/southampton-international-boat-show-2026/

Nimbus has always had a very distinctive Scandinavian approach, with clean design, practical layouts and boats that feel made to be used, whether that’s a quick run along the coast or much longer days on board.

With the show heading into its final weekend, come down, explore the Nimbus range and say hello to the team while you’re here.
