Broker's Comments

The Fairline Sunfury 26 is a popular sports cruiser with the build quality you would expect. This version is a tidy, nicely presented boat. Handling these boats has been said to be easy with twin engines and a large, roomy cockpit which is also great for entertaining and relaxing.

When I visited this boat, it felt dry, light and spacious below with good headroom throughout and plenty of stowage. A separate heads with shower, a well equipped galley with fridge and a wrap-around saloon area which converts to a large double berth. With an aft separate double cabin, making it equally suitable for small families or for visiting guests, or as a weekend or cruising getaway. This felt like a really tidy boat for her age.

The engines are an area in need of attention, which we have provided some additional information within our listing here. Once this has been resolved, this vessel will be a very nice cruising platform for coastal and inland waters.

Please contact our office for further information and we would be pleased to arrange a personal viewing.
