Testimonials

We could not be more happy with our new Targa. It has met our expectations in every way.  The craftsmanship is obvious to everyone that steps foot near our new boat. Honestly, I’m still looking for the first issue but haven’t found it yet. I build high end custom homes for a living, and getting all the details virtually perfect is really really hard — Targa and Cardinal did an amazing job.

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let you know I was able to connect with David and Laurie, [owners of a Targa 30]. Great couple, and even greater Boat 😊. I was beyond impressed. We had a really snotty afternoon, 7 foot seas, swells of easily 12-15 feet. Even going from the dock to the boat was a very wet experience. 

I grew up on the Maine coast, and have been on Ranger, Nordic, Backcove, Hinckly, Sabre yachts, and a few others in between. 

I have never seen a boat so gracefully handle weather at speed.

We were doing 32-34 knots [in their Targa 30] and never once did I feel uncomfortable. The windshield wipers were getting a work out … but effortlessly shed the water. 

At any point, if I had to go outside the cabin I knew I wouldn’t be washed overboard! The feeling of safety, stability, etc. was unparalleled. I can’t imagine having to go outside the cabin of a Hinckly or Backcove in those conditions… I’d have been shark bait. 

We also took several turns at full speed in those seas… I was a bit nervous but they urged me to just keep the throttle on and power through. ‘@$%^ impressive’ is the word!

The boat was quiet, dry, safe, fast. My wife was uber impressed and said “That’s it”.
