Description

The Fairline Phantom 38 is a stylish luxury flybridge cruiser offering a great blend of sparkling performance and comfortable accommodation. At this period Fairline are considered by many to be the benchmark for all others to follow, and the Phantom 38 has often been favourably compared to the Princess 380 and Sealine F37. 'Dilligaf' is very well presented and has a high level of equipment including Volvo Penta TAMD63P 360hp engines, bow and stern thrusters, diesel heating, and a recent full canvas pack. Competitively priced she represents excellent value for money and is sure to be very popular so early viewing is highly recommended!

Located under wheelhouse sole, twin Volvo Penta TAMD63P 360hp turbocharged intercooled six-cylinder marine diesel engines. Dual single lever controls at both helms. Shaft drive via gearboxes to bronze propellers (professionally refurbished 2022). Full engine instrumentation including temperature, oil pressure, volts, revs, and fuel gauges. Bow and stern thrusters. Adjustable trim tabs.


The engines appear to be in good cosmetic condition, were last serviced in 2021, and have been lightly used since. As is commonly the case, the engine hour meters have failed, but the engines are believed to have run for approx. 1250hrs since new, equating to optimal usage of around 50-55hrs a season.
