A very in-depth tour of the all new Botnia Targa 41 Hugo, It has the most teak I've ever seen on any Targa and I've been on a few over the years, the storage is phenominal and spacious.
As with all Targa's the navigational aids are whatever the customer requires and they will accommodate your needs.Targa build all weather boats to last and this latest model is no exception.
My perfect boat.
Some nice changes but still classic targa dna! The teak wood work inside is something unique and special they do that by hand at the factory. These boats are pure heavy duty luxury vessels made for boating when everyone else stay in the marine. And it’s sporty to drive over 40 knots in a 41 feet boat with sleeping for 6 that’s awesome!
One of the highest quality boat brands out there. I've been onboard a few Targas and they've all been 100% solid feeling, not a hint of rattles or anything like that.
10:29 It's not the inclusion of a TV that surprises me, it's the speed at which it rises. So fast! It usually takes ages to raise a hidden TV in other boats
They probably use a €100, 200 watt motor rather than a €60, 120 watt motor!!!
This is just beautiful, the quality of craftsmanship comes through the screen so well, how much more there touching it.
Couldn’t agree more. She’s a beauty!
The interior smell in Targas… mmmm… Beautiful boat
Another super review as always Hugo. These Targas are seriously good boats, very impressive 👍
Love your enthusiasm, I think this is your style of boat. She not the most stylish boat but her woodwork is beautifully crafted. She about comfort and safety in all weathers. Day boat, weekend boat, maybe a tender to an explorer boat. Not bad owners suite and aft cabin and two heads. She built to last in a traditional way but with modean touchs in particular in the engine room which is nicely laid out with great access.
I do hope that the sea trial happens soon..
Well I must say, Hugo, you're enthusiasm for this boat is entirely infectious.It's a terrific step forward for Targa but I also think that they're are exceptionally lucky to have such a genuine and stalwart advocate (and rightly so imo) of their vessels and it's about time that they ...erm...sponsored you with one lol? Thoroughly enjoyed this vid, particularly when you (again, rightly) said ..'..it's the little things like that, that just make you feel..a bit smug if you're a Targa owner...'. In my dreams of billionairedom, this boat would absolutely 100% be my tender. Reality dictates that the closest I'd feasibly get to either this or my custom Bering 120 is my grandson's rubber ring - sigh. See you next time mate and all the best
I would be more than happy with just the 41 Targa 😂
Now there’s an idea! I’ll look forward to my new ‘sponsored’ boat arriving!
I had a Botnia Targa 30 and in some ways she was the best boat I have ever had, they are brilliant with the doors either side making berthing a doddle, plus all the fresh air you could want. I don't think anyone makes better motor boats, but I have gone back to sailing :)
Something sexy about hunter green and navy blue colored hulls instead of the standard white.
Pure heaven. Well done Targa, and Hugo - don’t listen to the whiners, that was a lovely review.
Hugo, your enthusiasm for this Targa is infectious.
Thank you for the, as ever, authoritative walk around. I think I have a new target to work towards. The craftsmanship is sublime. Stand out for me was the glasshouse, looks fantastic.
Best of luck at Boot Düsseldorf and look forward to more reviews from the MB&Y Team
Beautiful boat
Looks like a proper boat and nice quality. If it does 40 knots with 440 stern drives then it may well do 45 knots with IPS 650s, I would have thought, which seems like quite immense speed. And possibly no faffing about trying to find petrol for UK boaters unlike many of the recent outboard-shod SUV boats. The Scandinavians don't do things by halves.
The cockpit looks god for having minimal overhang from the flybridge, so people can enjoy the sun back there.
Excellent video. Well done sir. Fantastic boat.
Thank you, it’s an impressive boat
Classic Targa disguised as a modern boat 😂
Really like the modern touches added to the classic design. My kind of boat 😁
Mine too!
Well done.
Certainly a unique look. I like the sport bridge capabilities..
Lovely and functional boat! Hugo, I think that "shower" in the aft heads is more in the way of a handheld bidet (a feature I saw in lodgings in Brazil and didn't understand at first) and/or toilet washer. There's one alongside the toilet in the forward heads, too, even though it has an enclosed shower.
It's exactly that, a bidet shower! :D Pretty much standard in every Finnish toilet, except most public toilet's donät have one.
To the extent anyone are buying boats anymore, this one looks to be the Targa which could finally make a dent in the huge Med market.
The other ones are great. Can be used year around with some care. But they are bit stuffy when it's hot, humid and sticky. This one, with the much larger side doors, rear door, 3 opening hatches, flybridge designed from the get-go for Bimini, joystick at rear, sunbeds instead of seating upfront and big seating space in the rear, Seakeeper... It's a Med boat now. A "proper" one, even :)
Among many other things, I love the fact that the helm area is in a matte finish. I feel many of the "gin palace" yachts have lost sight of the safety factor of not being blinded by all the bling. Very nice boat, this Targa.
Excellent 👌
I enjoyed watching the Video Review 😊
Thanks for a fine tour of an exceptional boat. Targas exude competence and this one looks like it would be a grand boat for cruising in all kinds of places. The only compromise to me anyway is that the forward berth is pushed so far into the bow that space for the heads of occupants is quite narrow so there may be too much togetherness for some. But a fine yacht for sure.
My pleasure
That is a beautiful boat, really nice styling and well laid out. Great tour Hugo thank you.
Thank you. I enjoyed shooting it.
It's mainly a bidet shower, a Finnish thing.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous 🥰
Love it: firstly it’s the boat I’d love but my wife would divorce me over. Secondly, I love how a pop up tv, teak table with steel cup inserts and long hull window seem like a revolution on this boat, but in a welcoming way 😮😀
Nice.
That is sea worthy
Nice AWD boat
is there storage under the berths?
Sir, @18:40 it's not a shower, it's a bidet shower.
I hope you get to test one soon. How about the Solent with the wind going one wayband the tide the other. If you need a crew I could be available.😂
Now this is a Boat! Is possible to have without the flybridge?
🤩
Why no shaft drive 😢
What's the maintenance like on the wood rails? I've always been told "if you want to keep your sanity, never get a boat with exterior wood".
If you want them to look like this new you Will have to polish them at least once a month.
One can only assume that if you have £832.800 to spend on 41ft of plastic then that cost ain't going to concern you!
@@marviwilson1853
It's not just cost. If you want to hire someone else to do it, you have to go to a port where the service is offered, taking you away from your itinerary. Who wants a boat that's in service at least once a month? No one would buy a car with the same requirements.
Not for me, but see why they are loved
Two lovely 40 foot Targas in this show. The other one is by Fairline.
You’re not wrong. We’ll cover the Fairline too but thought we’d do this one first for a change.
@@hugoandreae3785 Oh I know you'll do good! This is by far the best Targa Targa that Targa have ever done.
Price
The law in Scotland clearly says that a manufacturer cannot dictate that you use a dealer to service your vehicle. Search the SME in Scotland. I am in the business.
Yes, but the manufacturer can say it must be so to keep a warranty.
is this boat for sale
Здравей не черен цвят ок 2024😊
How is it a 4 x4? It has no wheels.
It's a "sound byte" marketing strategy with the sole aim of generating a brand image to allow price hikes. No problem with that off course - just don't take the bait!
I appreciate the attention to detail, but if I give you a million dollars, ( this one is about 3/4 of a mil) would this be what you turn up in?
I guess there's brand loyalty and subjective taste.
Nice boat through and through.
This is an all year boat, it’s about functionality over design while it still looks good in real life. It also has a great performance doing over 40 knots.
It depends where you live. You might pose better with an Italian glittercraft in the Med. But you'll be using the heads compartments a lot if you take that boat into rougher Finnish weather.
It's very nice. But I don't think it is worth the price.
Why heads, plural when you’re clearly talking about ‘the’ head or ‘a’ head area? But his boat has two heads. 😂😂😂
Not everyone speaks American English
@@callmelenny I worked 7 years in the UK in a yacht design firm, and this wasn't how anyone referred to a head in the industry.
@@TGoff-fz7yh I don't know a lot Brits in the USA but they all say "heads" compartment. guess our experiences are different.
Cool concept and a nice looking boat but sterndrives or IPS's are a hard no. Get inboards or v drives.
What's your reasoning for your preference? There are positives and negatives of both.
@@CompulsoryDemocracy Just the amount of maintenance and cost of upkeep for outdrives and IPS. Boats cost enough. The positives don't out weigh the negatives for me.
40+ knots and shafts are, for god reasons, not a common combination in sub 50 foot boats. (Not that 40+ knots are common, period in boats longer than 50 feet.....)
Targas may look a bit like long distance, 4 season cruising jobs, designed for reliability and low maintenance for infinite miles. But they are built more for performance, than for meandering around indefinitely.
Because of that huge bathing platform, you will need to pay 45ft sized mooring fee even though it supposes to be a 41 footer? All the so called clever interior designs to make a modern motorboat more roomy and practical wouldn't mean much when that humongous bathing platform can simply add 4 more feet of total length without contributing to any addition interior living space... Why can't motorboat adopt sailing boat style folding transom?
"Why can't motorboat adopt sailing boat style folding transom?"
This one has sterndrives poking out behind the transom. Hence the hatch in the swim platform to inspect/clear them.
I suppose with IPS you may have a point. Although IPS is so expensive, I doubt you'll recover the mooring difference unless you're home port is Monte Carlo.
This particular boat is 13-14 meters. You'd be in a 15 meter bay almost anywhere, either way.
But for boats right at plus-minus the common 10 or 12 meter boundaries, perhaps a folding transom could be a selling point for IPS.
Another issue is: With motorboats of this size, lots of people like carrying a dinghy on the platform while underway.
@@paulnorman8274 Thanks for your reply.
If it has sterndrives under the transom, then why not design it like sailboats with sterndrives? I mean why can't the cockpit be located on top of where the transom is currently. So the salon would have a couple of feet more space inside, hence much more internal useable space, or indeed just simply a much larger cockpit is surely more useable than a transom...
Then for the swimming platform, just like almost all sailboat, why not just have a folding one at the back of the cockpit. That will be just as useful when needed, but without paying the extra 5 feet of length when mooring.
As for dinghy, like sailboats of the same size, everyone needs a dinghy. But for a small boat like this to dedicate a proper platform at the stern is unthinkable if it's a sailboat. Why can't motorboats of this size have davits like all the sailboats of the same size have, which will not occupy any length of the boat.
You need to have better camera technique, swinging the camera around too quickly and over wide arcs is positively dizzying….shame be cause good content.
Targa marketing team shit a brick then died when you uttered “nuclear holocaust” when talking about their boat.
Keep it light it’s just a toy.
Lose the flybridge, thank you!
Nope. That is one of the biggest selling point for us.
You never know. They might do one without a flybridge later.
Targa has always option to spec it without.
I love my flybridge but it doesnt look right on this boat.
I spent too much of my lif in the sun and enjoyed fliybtidhes and sailboats too! Be carefu l your skin gets back at you eventually!
Who really wants a stern drive? Or two, it's mega cash services like four engines. Especially VOLVO PARTS. Lets be realistic, does this company never fit shafts to their craft ? They are superb boats and fit for purpose, however it's about time the rich were brought back to earth like the majority of us.
With straight shafts, the engines would take the aft cabin. The v-drive probably would swell, with one of those fitted.
And handling at 40+ knots is not close, with shafts. While not raceboats, Targa minds performance and handling quite a lot. It's hardly surprising they use a driveline common to racers and other performance craft, rather than trawlers and pilot hulls.
It's also a million dollar boat. Likely moored in neighbourhood where people have million dollar boats. Servicing the sterndrives, is unlikely to be the main cost driver for a typical owner.
@@paulnorman8274 Thanks for the explanation in layman's terms, I suppose I have to learn there are always a reason for not changing something that suits the model design for that craft. Thank you.
A waist of money to have an all fiberglass boat that size.
What else would you build a 40+ knot 41 footer out of? And why?
Bro a million dollars and the gate hinges and locks are out of a public restroom!? Wtf Targa can you get Koenigsegg to whip you up a hinge and lock real quick because what you got looks worse than some grandpa’s homespun chicken coup fence in Romania.
душнило
£832,800 for 41ft of plastic, a few engines and some joinery work. It's all to do with brand image and generating the artificially high prices that go with a successful marketing campaign and perceived status. No different to an Apple I-phone say. Due to excessive profits they say that Apple have more liquid cash in the bank than the US Government. Your buying the image not any reasonable monetary compensation for materials, time and craftsmanship. Your maybe paying £200,000 in costs and close to half a million pounds to prop up Botnia's bank account!!
Yeah, those bloody capitalists! You don’t like it? Get something else.
Government regulation adds massive cost to fiberglass boats.
You sound jeallous 😂😂
@@andersh6227 I would say I am. You are right, I would love a boat like that but it does not represent an equitable exchange of money for goods and services.
@@marviwilson1853 Dont worry about it, as Adam Smith said"in the long run we are all dead" 😃
Not setup to fish.
Awkward presenter.
Let’s hope I improve then!
Visits by appointment only at a boat show lol. What kind of BS is that?
Sloppy presentation by another blimey englishman
Great boat, awful presentation
Interested to know what you felt was wrong with it. Always keen to improve.
@@hugoandreae3785nothing wrong with the presentation! It’s the start of the show, the guys got 10mins to put it together on his own!
That is seriously ugly.
Disagree.. beautiful hull, wood work and are next level underway in any conditions..
@@Rootmachine1 each to their own.
@@Rootmachine1 Riva elegant and functional
ruclips.net/video/9SCch0Jfht4/видео.htmlsi=yvLbUms4wI1t-zn5
If the Targa is ugly, what is it's counterpart?
@@CompulsoryDemocracy a Riva.
Cheap hunk of plastic for $1,000,000
If he says the word proper more than four times in the first two minutes, I’m out of here.
It's too bad it's styling is struck in the 1960s
Targas is about functionality over design like these glass spaceships we see today. It’s about seaworthiness and being able to go boating any time of the year this boat looks like a boat and not a floating glasshouse
She has all the Kit and Kaboodle 🎉🫠🫡
