Testing the £1 Million Targa 46 in Rough Seas! 🌊
278,351
Published 2023-08-11
There are some products that define a genre and if you want a 50ft boat that will go through pretty much anything, Targa is the brand you turn to. But this isn't any Targa, this is the approximately £1,000,000 flagship of the range and if its smaller siblings are anything to go by, this could be one of the most capable boats of its size.
The boat is available with or without a flybridge, with sterndrives or IPS and with two or three cabins but the thing that all versions share is a laser-guided focus on practicality and usability. You won't see gimmicks here, this is a boat designed with purpose and that purpose is to be used day in, day out in whatever weather is thrown at it.
It faces stiff competition from some fellow Finns, however, so let's delve into the Targa 46 and see if it's as good on board as it appears to be on paper.
Let us know in the comments below whether you would prefer the Targa, the Sargo 45 of the Nord Star 49.

In Finland we have a saying that a Targa is never your first boat - it is your sixth or seventh boat. Only when you’ve spent 15-20 years on boats you start to realize how good these things are and if you are fortunate enough to afford one, will you buy one for yourself. 👍🏻
-
The quietness was probably the most impressive thing. Low engine noise and absence of rattling is key for enjoying your time on the water.
-
Does anyone else think we are in desperate need of a Nord Star 49 test and review?
-
Truly worth the wait for this proper sea trail! Nice to see more of the uniquely spec'd Targas shown to more people, as there is little talk about how customizable these vessels really are, in all aspects of the boat.
-
This is just a fantastic boat. Holy crap! 🤩👊
-
Thank you Jack for fulfilling your promise to sea trial this magnificent all weather Botnia Targa 46, it's a brilliant boat and one I've been lucky to have taken one to the channel Islands!
-
Thanks Jack! Interesting vessel. Practicality and speed!
-
Awesome Jack. Loving this Targa and as others have said, the performance through the chop is comforting and a whole lot of fun! Top review all round!
-
What a lovely boat!
-
1 of my favourites, that and the Sargo 45...Another great review YachtBuyer 🙂
-
Absolutely gorgeous boat, it's so appealing but the extra edge of practical layout on the Sargo just does it for me. Awesome camera work Alex 👏👏👏, so enjoyable to watch these episodes and the drone work makes the vids spectacular. Jack is sooooo comfortable talking boats while being filmed too, as always, well done team, thoroughly enjoyable, informative, entertaining and really helpful for the lotto daydream. 👏👏👏❤️🇬🇧

God I have waited a long time for this video. Thank you so much for finally making it, love the 46 so much. Awesome video guys
-
A good honest review of this brilliant boat 🙏
-
Congratulations on your new channel. You perform with a new freedom and humor that I really enjoy. It doesn’t look like work. The Targa and its finish work is more compelling on a screen. I’d love to see it and the Sargo at al boat show in Seattle. Thank you.

Regardless of size, from boats of this type I would always go for a Targa. I love the woodwork, the wibe they give over their competitors that admittedly, give very clever features.
