Our Thoughts
Written by The Fly Yachts Team · Brokerage

The 2021 Fairline Squadron 68 represents a masterclass in modern motor yacht design, seamlessly blending sophisticated European craftsmanship with contemporary luxury and proven offshore capability. Hand-built in England by Fairline and styled in collaboration with the renowned Salt Design Studio, this 69-foot, 17-foot-beam cruising yacht delivers the performance, comfort, and entertaining versatility that serious yacht owners demand.

Power and Performance

Twin Caterpillar C18-1150 diesel engines producing 2,300 total horsepower propel this deep-V hull to a maximum speed of 31 knots, while the shaft-drive configuration ensures efficient, reliable long-distance cruising. The yacht carries 1,029 gallons of fuel capacity and 237 gallons of fresh water, supporting extended passages with confidence. Proportional bow and stern thrusters with electronic controls from the flybridge and lower helm station provide exceptional maneuverability in tight quarters, while ZF single-lever throttle and gear controls at both helms deliver intuitive command of the twin engines. The resin-infused, cored hull construction with hand-laid components and integral engine bearers contributes to structural integrity and sound isolation throughout the accommodation spaces.

Navigation and Electronics

The lower helm is outfitted with triple Garmin multifunction displays, Garmin autopilot, Garmin VHF marine radio, and tri-data repeaters—a comprehensive suite that supports confident navigation in all conditions. Radar, depth finder, and full engine instrumentation including tachometers, fuel gauges, and temperature monitoring are integrated into the glass bridge display. The flybridge helm repeats essential engine controls and navigation capability, allowing command from either station. A Cummins Onan generator supports all onboard electrical systems, while the Phoenix inverter provides 220V, 24V, and 12V circuits throughout, with shore power capability and an 80-amp regulated charger for domestic batteries.

Flybridge and Outdoor Entertaining

The expansive flybridge is designed as a true outdoor living space, divided into three distinct entertaining zones. A retractable sunroof shelters the forward area, which features triple sun loungers and companion seating. The mid-section hosts a generous teak dining table with comfortable seating, while the aft flybridge includes a full wet bar with Isotherm refrigerator, ice maker, and sink—ideal for hosting. A standing bar on the main aft deck, along with the covered dining area below, extends entertaining options across the yacht's outdoor spaces. Fusion Apollo audio system with speakers throughout ensures ambient music in all areas. Underwater lights, exterior LED mood lighting, and a remote-controlled searchlight complete the ambiance.

2021 Fairline Squadron 68: A Contemporary Motor Yacht Built for Luxury Cruising and Entertaining
Overview
The 2021 Fairline Squadron 68 represents a sophisticated approach to modern motor yacht design, combining contemporary European styling with purposeful engineering for extended cruising and refined entertaining. Built in England by Fairline, a manufacturer known for meticulous attention to detail, this 69-foot yacht integrates cutting-edge technology, flexible interior spaces, and a thoughtful layout that supports both intimate family cruising and larger social gatherings. Powered by twin Caterpillar C18-1150 diesel engines delivering 2,300 combined horsepower, the Squadron 68 achieves a maximum speed of 31 knots while maintaining the efficiency and torque characteristics that define modern long-distance cruising capability. The yacht's design philosophy, developed collaboratively by Salt Design and the Fairline Design Studio, prioritizes open living spaces, natural light, and seamless transitions between interior and exterior entertaining areas. This particular example, named Raw Wave, has been configured with premium finishes throughout, including hardwood flooring, high-gloss walnut cabinetry, white leather upholstery, and polished chrome accents that create a contemporary aesthetic aligned with current luxury yacht standards.
Dimensions, Construction, and Hull Design
At 69 feet 3 inches in overall length with a 17-foot 2-inch beam, the Squadron 68 occupies a substantial footprint within the modern motor yacht category while maintaining manageable proportions for transatlantic and extended coastal cruising. The vessel draws 5 feet 1 inch when unloaded, a shallow draft that facilitates access to protected anchorages and coastal waterways. With a CE Category B type approval and capacity certification for 16 people, the yacht is designed to meet European maritime standards for offshore operation. The hull employs a deep-V design constructed using resin-infused cored hull, liner, and deck technology with hand-laid components, a building method that balances strength with weight efficiency. Polyurethane foam cores throughout the deck provide structural rigidity and thermal insulation, while the hull-to-deck joint is both bolted and bonded to create a robust connection. The white hull finish is protected by isophthalic gel coat backed by isophthalic resin-rich powder-bound glass mat, an approach that resists UV degradation and maintains aesthetic appeal over extended service periods. Integrally moulded engine bearers distribute propulsion loads directly through the hull structure, and extended sound-proofing between the engine room and accommodations reduces operational noise in living spaces.
Power, Propulsion, and Helm Systems
Twin Caterpillar C18-1150 diesel engines form the propulsive heart of this yacht, each producing 1,150 horsepower and developing the torque characteristics that make Caterpillar powerplants the choice for serious cruising vessels. These engines are paired with shaft drives, a configuration that offers efficiency and reliability on extended passages. The combined 2,300 horsepower enables the Squadron 68 to achieve 31 knots at maximum speed, though cruising speeds would typically be maintained at lower throttle settings to optimize fuel economy and extend range. Engine control is managed through ZF electronic single-lever throttles and gear controls located at both the flybridge helm and the lower main helm, allowing the operator to manage both engines simultaneously or independently as conditions require. This dual-helm redundancy is essential for serious cruising, as it provides operational flexibility and ensures the yacht can be maneuvered safely even if one control station is temporarily unavailable. Bow and stern thruster systems with proportional controls enhance low-speed maneuverability dramatically, particularly in tight marina approaches, beam-wind anchoring, and close-quarters maneuvering. The proportional control system allows fine modulation of thruster output, making precision docking and station-keeping significantly more intuitive than traditional on-off thruster operation.
Flybridge: Primary Entertaining and Helm Area
The flybridge is conceived as a three-zone entertaining and operational space, reflecting the Squadron 68's emphasis on flexible entertaining configurations. The forward zone features the flybridge helm with bolstered, adjustable helm seats, electronic controls, and comprehensive instrumentation. The mid-section provides aft-facing loose seating and tables suitable for casual conversation or informal dining, while the aft zone incorporates a teak dining table and companion seating for more formal entertaining. A retractable sunroof provides weather protection and sun control across the entire flybridge, a significant upgrade that extends the usability of this space in variable weather conditions. The flybridge wet bar includes a refrigerator and sink, supporting beverage service and light food preparation without requiring trips to the main galley. The Fusion Apollo audio system extends to the flybridge, allowing background music during entertaining or ambient sound during relaxation. Teak laid flooring throughout the flybridge provides non-slip surface texture while maintaining the aesthetic of traditional yacht construction. Stainless steel handrails and grab rails ensure safe movement across the deck, particularly in a seaway. The flybridge access hatch provides direct communication with the main deck area below, facilitating crew movement and provisioning.
Main Deck, Aft Deck, and Exterior Entertaining Areas
The main deck is organized around a sophisticated connection between interior and exterior entertaining spaces. Retractable sliding glass doors that open starboard and retract or lower port create a seamless transition between the aft deck and main salon, effectively expanding the functional entertaining space by removing the traditional boundary between inside and outside. When fully retracted, these doors allow unobstructed sight lines and natural ventilation throughout the entertaining area. The aft deck features a large covered dining area with a standing bar positioned to serve both the exterior deck and the interior main salon. This configuration supports entertaining styles ranging from casual deck parties to formal dinners where guests can move freely between interior and exterior spaces. Cup holders integrated into exterior tables provide practical support for beverage service, while the covered design offers protection from sun and light rain. The foredeck incorporates recessed seating areas with low-level lighting, creating an intimate forward entertaining zone separate from the main deck activity. A tonneau cover protects this area when the yacht is unoccupied, while cushioned seating and sunbeds support relaxation and sunbathing. Foredeck cup holders and USB sockets provide practical amenities for extended time spent in this area. The bathing platform is hydraulically operated with high-low capability, raising to deck level for easy access and lowering to water level for swimming and water sports. A 500-kilogram capacity rating supports multiple swimmers simultaneously, while a teak laid surface provides non-slip footing in wet conditions. A hot and cold-water transom shower facilitates rinsing after swimming, with fresh water supplied from the yacht's water system.
Main Salon: Contemporary Living and Entertainment
The main salon exemplifies contemporary motor yacht interior design, prioritizing open sightlines, natural light, and flexible furniture arrangements. High-gloss walnut wood cabinetry and bulkheads provide visual warmth while maintaining the clean lines characteristic of modern design. Hardwood flooring throughout the salon and adjacent spaces creates continuity and durability, while panoramic windows flood the space with natural light and provide expansive views of the surrounding seascape. The salon layout incorporates a white leather sofa and separate loveseat positioned to face a large entertainment center featuring a Samsung television. This configuration supports both social entertaining and quiet relaxation, with the flexible seating arrangement accommodating groups of varying sizes. A large custom dining table with polished chrome legs and seating for six is positioned
