The Fairline Phantom 40 is a 13-metre British flybridge cruiser, built in 2016 by a yard with more than five decades of boatbuilding behind it. The Phantom series sits at the top of Fairline’s sport-cruiser range, pairing a 30-knot hull with proper overnight accommodation below. Day charters run from €1,200 per boat for up to 12 guests, with a licensed skipper, fuel and insurance included.
On deck she gives a group three distinct places to settle: a shaded cockpit with wraparound seating at the stern, a broad sunpad on the bow, and a flybridge above the helm for anyone who wants wind and a view. Below, cherry joinery wraps a leather-lined saloon, and there are two cabins with three berths, two marine WCs and a galley with fridge and hob — useful on long days when the picnic needs somewhere proper to live.
The 800-litre tank is the quiet advantage. It gives her genuine full-day range — west to Mljet and its saltwater lakes, across to Korčula’s southern shore or the Pelješac coast — while shorter days cover the Elaphiti, Lokrum and swim stops in bays the crowds never reach. She suits groups of eight to twelve, corporate days out, and anyone who has chartered a Fairline elsewhere in the Mediterranean and wants the same badge on the Adriatic.
