The 1982 Fairline Phantom 32 is a classic British flybridge cruiser, renowned for its solid GRP construction, practical two-cabin layout, and timeless styling. Part of Fairline’s successful Phantom series from the 1970s and early 1980s, she was designed for comfortable family cruising and weekend getaways. With twin-engine options on sterndrives, the Phantom 32 offers reliable performance, excellent manoeuvrability, and well-proportioned social and living spaces, making her a highly regarded and enduring example of a traditional Fairline motor cruiser.
This particular motorboat has been owned by the current owner for the past four years and has been used as a liveaboard.

She is currently out of the water at Medway Bridge Marina on the River Medway, where a berth is available.
