First launched in the early 2000s, the Squadron 58 became a defining model for Fairline Yachts and remains one of the most respected vessels in the 55–60 foot class. It set a benchmark for what a flybridge cruiser could be: not just a vessel for bluewater passages, but a floating home with long-range comfort, timeless lines, and an interior that wears its age with pride.
Design & First Impressions At nearly 59 feet overall, the Squadron 58 has genuine presence on the water.
