- Is the Phantom 65 the most practical (and fun) boat in it's class?
James takes his first look at the Fairline Phantom 65 at it's show debut at the 2023 Düsseldorf Boat Show and is blown away.. In this first full tour James looks at the key features of this boat, its speed and the amazing level of detail in the finish of every element of the boat.
Full details can be seen here:

If you are interested in one of these boats, please get in touch as there will be limited availability for the new couple of years.
A few days after filming the Phantom 65 won the prestigious Motor Boat of the Year award at the Motor Boat & Yachting Awards held at Düsseldorf.
Here is what they had to say:
This may be Fairline’s first attempt at a sportsfly design but you’d never guess it from the way it looks, performs and feels. With those sleek, flowing lines, it strikes the perfect balance between elegance and sportiness, yet somehow still manages to pack in up to four cabins below deck and masses of sociable living space inside and out.
Even the flybridge itself, while compact by Squadron standards, has plenty of secure seating, sunpads and a proper wet bar, as well as a comprehensive outside helm station.
However, all of this would count for little if the driving experience failed to live up to Fairline’s usual high standards. Thankfully, it’s even better than we had anticipated, delivering effortless acceleration up to a top speed of 38 knots, responsive handling and the kind of refined, long-legged cruising that feels perfectly in keeping with that other legendary Phantom built by Rolls-Royce motor cars.
Last but by no means least, those impressive dynamic characteristics are backed up by sound practical thinking, a beautifully finished interior and reassuringly solid build quality.
As we said in our original test, the Phantom 65 really does feel like it offers the best of both worlds with the looks and driving characteristics of a traditional sportscruiser but also the comfort and practicality of a flybridge.

How refreshing to hear a presenter actually critical about the product as when you mentioned the smallish size of the VIP cabin and the abysmal ice makers. Honesty always earns respect. Thank you.
Nothing is perfect - but this is close ! 😊
I like the style how you explain and show the boat. Funny yet serious. Continue like that.👍😀
James I’m a princess man but since you moved over to Fairline and their new range of boats I’m converted .
The new Panthom v the new princess s72 , it’s obvious .. Phantom wins Hands down due to a beautiful layout , amazing detailing and a great price …
👍👍keep up the good work and what’s refreshing is you say when something is wrong or compromised even though you are a dealer . Thanks for your honesty … aquaholic take note
Ah thanks Daz - such kind words 🎉
Fairline seems to have cracked it again with this 65 foot sports cruiser, they definitely pack a lot into it's footprint. Another brilliant tour James you've definitely sold this boat as you are an honest yet sincere yacht broker.
Fairline seem to have really upped their game with the last few new models, can't wait to see the Targa 55 later this year.
And Targa 40 and Squadron 58 🥳🥳
I must say since watching ur channel I have not been persuaded to try to buy a yacht 🛥️ of any size but what you have done is given me something better! The joy and happiness of flossing! Never done it before but is probably more pleasurable than forking out dough all the time for a boat! Flossing the s the way forward especially stern to berth on the med!
😂
Loved seeing this yacht. Beautiful. I must say too - that YOU looked very good on this boat - it suits you well.
Thank you kindly!
Hey James, I have newly discovered you and must say, your style and your humor I find great! It's really fun to listen to you, as you present the yachts. Especially I find really good to honestly present the operating costs of the yachts. Keep up your great work!
Best greetings from Germany from a new fan 😊 …and I love your socks😂❤
Ah thank you 🙏
Brilliant James, love this one.... Fairline packed so much into this stunning boat, excellent quality. Fantastic boat tour, thanks for sharing 😎
🤩🤩
This boat definitely shows a lot bigger than it is... It has features of 80' boats... You could definitely live aboard this comfortably
Never seen this bloke before but great presenter. Top review 👍🏻
🙏
Very polished video presentation and the Fairline 65 is pretty good
😊👍🏻
Absolutely love it 😍 thanks for showing us this beautiful boat……
Videos are getting better 👍
I really love the way how you smoothly present any boat. If I had the money id buy from you. Fun thing: Take a look @14:34, on the fly bridge you can see in the background a triangled shape. I assume to see there two horns, imagine what kind of laughter this could cause, if your comfortable sitting there, and your captain is about to give signals and scare with that the hell out of the passengers
😂
I Love your videos, Your so honest
Well. I'm shellshocked! What a beautiful boat. The glass storage cabinet got me. Probably don't need a passerelle in HK..... or Australia....
Loved every bit of it. Looks tasteful, sharp and overall stunning. _And yes I'm talking about JB's suit_ 🥰 And that 💂♂️ cushion made a lovely cameo as well😂
Hopefully more Boot Düsseldorf episodes coming. Aye?
I love that cushion
This is the first yacht tour vid that made me laugh; more than once, too. I also appreciate the candor about ice makers using tanked water filled by public supply. It may be "safe" to drink. But, as your ice melts in your cocktail and you can see it's leaving floaters behind....
More attention to this presents an opportunity to both hardware manufacturers, like Dometic or ZeroSpot, to create 'water polishing' appliances that provide highly filtered water for drinking.
The RV industry, which parallels the yacht business in many respects, has addressed this in a few ways. Many RVs come equipped with conventional, or reverse osmosis filters to purify the external water supply. Some install a second faucet to provide purified drinking water. Some provide a facility that connects that second faucet to one of those blue water cooler tanks. (Heh....Poland Spring on tap!)
Yes we can fit filter systems but they need regular use/maintenance. The bag of ice never lets you down 😊
Looking Good james
Absolutely beautiful boat, outstanding.
It’s perfect. Too much money, but I dig that fly bridge - simple, practical, and looks like a great boating experience. Ice cube trays and a couple five gallon jugs of water needed for a boat of this price is kind of infuriating lol. Nice tour!
Thanks for a great tour
great to see that we are still building fantastic boats , great video
Thanks Robert. Handmade in England. Great detailing.
@@Boatscoukyes we should be proud of our boat building skills this particular boat not only looks good on the in side but what a beautiful boat on the outside
The true star of the video are the socks!
I love my socks 🧦
It’s a serious good looking yacht 🙌🏻
We agree 🤩
Thank you
Beautiful
Lover deck is unbelievable💪 Could live there all year round 🤣
Were you in court today?😁The suit!!!
I know it’s bad lol 😂
Thats a tasty boat by any standard. I have to say, I didn't recognise you at first in your "Salesman's Whistle" but the sox gave you away. One possible black mark, is there no Shout Window? I suppose if you were tall enough you could have a Shout Roof when you roll it back.
Shout window is optional 😋
Look great fairline have a winner there I think very stylish quality build and a bargain compared to the 5m princess s72 which is a rival
Ah, what a lovely, lovely boat. New goal set: to be banging on your door in the next 5 years asking for the keys!
Congratulations to fairline in dusseldorf I have good information friendly people we are looking forward to have conversation whit your dealer in the nederlands this year great schouw 👍👍👍👍👍
🥇🥳
Great video James!!. Fairline again proves to be a great example of British engineering. That being said, do you only show British products? The reason I ask is because I'd love YOU to make an analysis on the Italian product as well. We all know Azimut is a big player and to me the Azimut 27 Metri is the Queen.... Would you? Thanks
I will try in the future for you Jaime 😊
Matches the most beautiful,price ever too
You forgot to check out the shout window
It didn’t have that option 😊
Hello James it's beautiful the 65 I m thalking with you brother on boat dusseldorf tomorrow I komm back en WY go to see the pearl 72 but for the moment I think it's gone by the fairline 65 grts en maybe I see you tomorrow
🥳🥳
What a suit?? I thought I could come in Saturday with Jeans and Fancy Socks and that would be enough to get a short tour with you 😅🙈😇
Fantastic beautiful at unfortunately I can only enjoy the video.
It’s the best cabin I’ve ever seen………lol
Hey up smarty pants pair ... 😁.. when I'm about 75 ..that will be a bloody great used boat 👍😁🏴
🥳🥳😂
james the range with the small engine is it the same maybi i see you saterday of sunday its e beautyful boat end i love your socs😄grts from belgium
Thanks Gunter. Range similar on both engines as long range is low rpm and big engines work less and have clever software 🤓
That is a very nice boat. I will say I actually prefer the flybridge on the new Princess S series. it has the "galley" in the corner and it seems it provides a better flow and more space than this one.
Thanks Brian. If that’s the S72 - I agree but it’s 7’ bigger 🥺
37 Knots? ......WOW ..... Same top speed as the new Sunseeker Superhawk 55.
A truly stunning boat,
BTW James, do you often wear tights? Or is it just an occasional weekend thing?😁
Please 🙏🏻 lord let’s not turn that into a tights changing sofa
😂
Why do they always have the handrails so low? Is it purely for aesthetics?
Bit of both
@@Boatscouk Thanks for the reply . I often wonder if it were an option to have higher rails that that would appeal to older customers? Especially as the drop looks terrifying when viewed in a boatyard from these larger vessels. Bloody gorgeous boat though!
@@wingcommanderdaltonwalton67 yes we can upgrade the rails 😀
OOOh .... Dress code 😎🧐😜
Wow, didn't recognise you, brush up very nicely 😂🤣.
Lovely boat but like just a little more space so would prefer the 68.
Everyone loves to see these boats and judging by the waiting lists, plenty can afford it.
You've got a great blog, don't change it, just make more 🤣😂.
Will orca like it
I'm sorry did you actually say 37knotts 😮
Yes 37 knots 🎉🎉
Can’t get used to you in a suit 😂
Nor can I 😂
boat not socks, boat
Hi James, you sound out of breath, hope you ok, I would not bother with the suit. Love the way you talk about boats, would love to know what you think the running costs are.
I don't think that the suit is worth wearing, your customers know that you are honest about the boats
I have to wear suit to work on stand - it’s the rules 😢
Nice socks
👀WOW🤯WTFUCK
🍾🎉🥃
I have loved sailing and boats all my life. I have come to the realisation that the relentless production of leisure craft are contributing to pollution and destruction of marine life. Just look at the marinas around the world full of boats only used for a short period every year. A boat produces nothing and will constantly consume for the rest of its life.
Let’s agree to disagree. They do it idly a lot of the time and that’s less fuel use, also they last forever. I have sold some boats 20 times over 30 years - that’s recycling !
I'm the most beautiful phantom 😎
Did you get the suit of John Lennon as well ha ha
It was pretty cheap 😂
Table is a fail right off the bat
Thought I had seen this interior before, perhaps they should have tried to make the layout different? A bit lazy on their part.
They are not lazy I can assure you Peter 🤓
I don't like those flybridge helm seats, they look horrendous.
Super comfy
@@Boatscouk Maybe so, but if I was in the financial position to spend that kind of money, I want something that I like the look of, and those seats would irritate me every time I looked at them.
@@Puzzoozoo we can customise- no problem
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the expensive yachts, they are beautiful, but unobtainable for most I imagine. I prefer seeing the everyman boats, $500k and under. This may not be your preferred content, but I bet you would get more views with the average boats. Just a thought. Keep up the great videos. All the best.
Thanks Brian. We agree ! We try and show a mixed bag of boats - we will never shy away from the first boater with his £10k speedboat 🚤
Everymans boat, serious? Thats a boat about 5 or 10 K. In other words. Most people cannot afford buyig, driving or maintaining a boat. Like nowadays many cutting on grocery and energy budget all over Europe. If you can spend 500K you'r not average Joe
Gut yacht problem and странични стъкла отвори на яхтата много големи това не ми харесва за сигурността на яхтата 2023
short fly. waste of space.
But the Squadron 68 for big fly - horses for courses
This men is very cool and he work!!!!😏😉
A BEEFEATER pillow
@Dave-zj1zj It's a Guards head dress you're confusing it with. The Beefeaters wear a flat hat with a brim around it.
