Squadron 53
The Fairline F//Line 33 is a sleek 33-foot dayboat first launched by iconic UK brand Fairline Yachts in 2021. If this boat sounds familiar, you might have heard of the 2019 model which took the Cannes Yachting Festival that year by storm. Since its much-anticipated debut, Fairline has decided to improve upon perfection itself, releasing an updated F//Line 33 in 2021 that has impressed users and critics alike. Evoking sports cars from the 1960s, this fast and comfortable boat is also highly customizable, with an array of layouts, add-ons, and colors from gelcoating to upholstery.
On the main deck, users have the choice of two equally sociable layouts with a choice of teak, esthec, or non-slip flooring and side-decks with an optional wraparound stainless-steel handrail for even easier movement throughout the boat. For those who want shelter from the sun, users are spoiled for choice, with an optional hardtop, bimini top, or full canopy coverings.
The first main-deck layout features two facing sofas with a dining table, perfect for al fresco meals for up to six people. A large wet-bar abuts the aft-facing seat, complete with storage, sink, refrigerator, and integrated drawers for cutlery and crockery storage. To take this space to the next level, users can add on wine coolers, an icemaker, and an induction cooktop.
The second main-deck layout features an aft sunpad that joins a curvaceous U-shaped seating area with a long dining table, perfect for entertaining larger groups. In this configuration, the wet bar is moved to starboard, with a standard bar, sink, storage, integrated drawers, and optional fridge, griddle and icemaker. On both layouts, the foredeck has ample room for lounging on the large sunpad at anchor.
At the helm, two comfortable bucket seats are complemented by a standard 7-inch Garmin display screen, analogue gauges for engine tachometers, engine temperatures, and fuel tank levels, electronic single-lever throttle and gear controls, full engine monitoring, a Garmin VHF marine radio, high-speed magnetic compass, cupholders, and a USB socket to charge your phone while you pilot the boat. This space also comes with ample options, from an upgraded 12-inch touchscreen display, joystick, autopilot, high-definition radar, bowthrusters, and an automatic identification system.
After a day of sun and fun, users can stop at their favorite harbor for a good night’s sleep thanks to the aft double cabin below deck. Two half-height hanging lockers and four trinket lockers offer ample storage for a short or medium-term stay, while an opening porthole gives this space a bright, breezy atmosphere, inviting in light and fresh air.
A starboard day head features a silent-flush toilet, full standing-height shower with adjustable shower head, a luxurious skylight, mirrored cabinet doors, vanity unit with basin sink, and a solid surface countertop. An optional galley with a sink, two-burner cooktop and 42-liter refrigerator can be found to port, while a luxurious standard forward lounge area with U-shaped seating and a large dining table offer an escape from the heat of the day or unexpected rain.
The F//Line 33’s robust deep-V hull and 22-degree deadrise at the transom impart the kind of rugged stability you need to race through the waves at thrilling speeds while remaining smooth, balanced, and safe. Two standard 500hp Volvo Penta V6-250 engines allow top speeds of up the 33 knots, while optional dual 860hp Volvo Penta V8-430s have enough power to reach up to 48 knots. For those who prefer outboard engines, Fairline also offers a selection of 300hp, 350hp, and 400hp Mercury Verado engines.
