The Pioneer. The Original. The Legend. There are many words that describe the Targa boats. Targa is the true original within the “offshore” motorboat category. During the years Targa has attracted more and more interest from customers around the world thanks to its practical handling and sea-worthy behavior. And, at the same time it has also opened up the eyes for many competitors who today offer their own versions of the original Targa-concept.

Targa is renowned for making a range of high quality, high performance motor boats – The 4X4’s of the sea. For Botnia Marin it all started in 1984 when we saw the possibility to develop the original Targa 25 (launched in 1979) into an even more practical and sea-worthy boat. Since that the range has grown but the fundamental philosophy has remained the same.    

The characteristics that describe all the boats within the Targa range are:

• Great sea performance in even the roughest seas

• High overall quality – all the way from lamination to electrical fittings

• Practical solutions in every small detail

• Wide and safe passage-ways around the pilothouse

• Sliding doors for easy access to the pilothouse

• Great visibility from the pilothouse for the driver and all passengers

• Flybridge as standard for all models except for the Targa 23.1

“The Targa’s are designed and built according to how the sea in reality is – not as one wishes it to be. Our guiding principle is to send you out to sea as a proud and confident captain with a smile on your face”, says Johan Carpelan, founder and managing director.
