FAIRLINE PHANTOM 40

Fairline Phantom 40 — Dubrovnik, Croatia The Phantom line has long been Fairline's answer to a specific brief: a flybridge motor yacht compact enough to slip into small Adriatic harbours, yet built with the finish and sea-keeping of a larger boat. This example carries a refit completed in 2018, and it shows in the way she is presented. Below deck, two cabins accommodate four guests overnight: an owner's cabin, plus a second cabin fitted with twin beds. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Her natural cruising ground is the water immediately around Dubrovnik — the Elaphiti islands, the quiet bays that only reveal themselves from the sea, and the run out to the Blue Cave for those who want a longer day. It is the kind of programme this yacht handles well: sheltered coastal cruising, easy anchorages, a swim before lunch and back into port by evening. The flybridge is where most of the day tends to happen, with the helm, seating and open views over the coastline. Below, the saloon offers shade and a place to regroup between stops. The crew handles navigation, mooring and the rhythm of the day, adjusting the itinerary to the wind and to what you actually feel like doing — which, on this stretch of the Croatian coast, is usually the difference between a good day and a memorable one.
