Broker Comments

The Botnia Targa 31 Mk II has long been regarded as one of the benchmark Scandinavian all-weather motor cruisers. Built for serious use rather than simply fair-weather boating, the design combines exceptional sea-keeping with a secure walk-around deck layout, enclosed wheelhouse and the versatility of a second helm position.

With twin Volvo Penta D6 310hp diesels, this example offers effortless cruising performance and a top speed of approximately 40 knots. The accommodation makes her equally suitable for family weekends, longer coastal passages or year-round cruising.

This particular boat stands out for the extent of her recent upgrades and presents as a particularly well-equipped example of this highly sought-after model.
