Boat Builder - All Trades

At Fairline, all our boats are handmade from start to finish, which means every single member of our production team is key to ensuring a top-quality product. Our Boat Builders make up the largest department within Fairline, with a range of tasks and jobs that mean the opportunities to grow and develop your skills is vast. 

If you enjoy practical jobs and working with your hands, being a Boat Builder could be right up your street. With a skilled, close-knit team around you, you will have the opportunity to work on high-end, stylish products with a focus on quality and finishing all tasks to the highest standards. 

What do the various roles look like within our Production team? 

Carpenters & Bench Joiners:

• If you know your way around a variety of power tools and have experience working with high quality materials this could be a good role for you.
• Even better if you have shop fitting/carpentry or joinery experience and can follow guides to meet the requirements of the boat build.

Stage 1 Fitters:

• Be able to pro-actively and competently work to boat build documentation and install a range of items that make up the boats.
• Assemble GRP components to create the correct layout and structure of the vessel.

Paint/Lacquer Sprayers:

• Our Sprayers ensure that the Fairline yachts leave our Oundle site looking the very best! This includes careful application of products including high gloss polyester and paint lacquer.
• A good eye for detail is useful for this role, as well as taking pride in your work.

CNC Operatives:

• CNC is a small but high-performing team that feeds our internal parts shop and is important to ensure our boats can be decked out in stunning furniture and storage.
• If you’re experienced with using sheet timber and confident with computer programming, we think you’ll enjoy this role.

Engineers/Marine Engineers:

• Our engineering teams are responsible for the installation of propulsion and stabilisation systems, construction of dashboard and specified components, as well as other tasks that fall into the engineering remit.
• Ideally, you will be an experienced engineer with a background in the marine industry to enable you to accurately fit, connect, check, and test all the marine equipment to ensure its functionality.
• This is the start of the build of the actual boat! You’ll be responsible for setting up moulds, including waxing and gelling. You’ll have a good eye for details to make sure that the start of our boat building process runs as smoothly as possible.
• This department will suit you if you’re good at working to a deadline, and like to take something simple and turn it into something impressive!

Fairline is one of England’s most recognised and prestigious marine brands and has been building handmade boats in Northamptonshire since 1963. Our luxury yachts look a little different to the boats that were born out of Oundle Marina back then, but they’re built with the very same craftmanship, passion, and attention to detail that make Fairline a household name across the world. 

We’re growing our team with people that possess the same passion, skills, and commitment to quality that truly makes Fairline stand out from the rest, and we’d love you to join us.

In all our years of boatbuilding, we have never created something quite like the F//LINE. Setting the industry alight with its searing performance and svelte lines, the F//LINE forges a new path for sleek, sporty, high-performance dayboats.

Prepare your adventurous side. This is what it has been waiting for.

A modern sportsboat made for exhilarating adventure, the F//LINE has been designed in collaboration with celebrated Italian yacht designer, Alberto Mancini and delivers the full package – head-turning lines, an exceptional ride, sharp handling and breath-taking performance.

Luxury by definition, powerful in spirit. The Fairline Targa motoryacht range marries sophisticated styling with alluring power and performance. 

The Fairline DNA is in every curve of these iconic designs, which provide generous living spaces and outstanding flexibility on and below deck together with an outstanding drive and seakeeping.

Designed for life on the water, this iconic motoryacht range has been elevated by the designs of Alberto Mancini and our own in-house team in England, resulting in the perfect mix of elegant Italian refinement and British craftsmanship.

Open plan living provides Targa owners with spacious socializing and sunbathing areas and a seamless connection to the water. With deft use of glass above and below decks and versatile layouts, this class-leading range pushes the boundaries of modern sportscruiser design.

Targa has year-round appeal thanks to the standard fit sunroof across the range and the option to have an open or fully enclosed main deck.

P h a n t o m  

The iconic Phantom name is reimagined in Fairline’s first sportsbridge, the stunning Phantom 65.

Blazing a trail with an exceptional blend of flybridge accommodation with sportscruiser handling, the Phantom motoryacht delivers triple-deck living spaces and razor-sharp looks with the on-water dynamics to match.

The Phantom boasts incredibly clean and modern lines. Our expert team of designers and craftspeople have created a winning combination offering the enhanced space of a flybridge with the sporty style of our Targa models.

With an abundance of al-fresco dining, entertaining and lounging spaces, relaxing onboard has never been so easy. It’s time to soak up the sun alongside captivating, streamlined looks and thrilling performance.

S q u a d r o n  

Iconic and elegant – a Squadron is designed for the adventure-seeking family and offers flexible layout options, expansive flybridges and effortless style. 

Renowned for its alluring mix of luxurious accommodation and smart design, this class-leading marque is light, spacious and open with beautifully integrated practical design features.

Reflecting Fairline’s impressive boatbuilding legacy and boundary-pushing innovation, Squadrons boast expansive cockpits, luxurious saloons and voluminous cabins with full-standing headroom for effortless on-water living. 

The Squadron design maximizes an owner’s connection to the water thanks to light-filled interiors, open-plan layouts, huge windows, and generous deck spaces. Enjoy sundowners on the sociable flybridge, relax on the foredeck sunpads or catch the morning sun on the submersible bathing platform.

Sophisticated and elegant, a Squadron offers supreme comfort matched with contemporary style.

I’ve always marvelled at the allure of the yachts, hoping I would one day represent such refined craftsmanship. The enthusiasm of the Fairline team is infectious and it’s evident that with its current offering and yet more developments in the pipeline, that there’s exciting times ahead for the brand and its customers,” said Rob.

“Fairline’s wide range perfectly suits the diverse climates and cruising grounds of California with the advanced docking technology and impeccable sea-handling capabilities catering to yachting enthusiasts of all skill levels.

“Our wealth of experience in delivering and supporting luxury yachts ensures that prospective owners are in the best hands with their Fairline purchase. We’re excited to introduce the partnership at The Newport Beach International Boat Show (18-21 April 2024) and look forward to establishing a strong presence for Fairline on the West Coast,” concluded Rob.
