First Look Aboard the 2025 Targa 32 Outboard: Performance Meets Precision
Step aboard the all-new 2025 Targa 32 Outboard, a true adventure vessel that merges offshore capability with Scandinavian craftsmanship and modern power. In our latest walkthrough, East Coast Yacht Sales’ Andrew Porter offers an in-depth look at this highly anticipated model — and it’s clear that this boat checks all the boxes for serious cruisers.
Powered for Performance
At the heart of the Targa 32 Outboard are twin Mercury Verado V10 400HP engines, delivering speed, efficiency, and reliability. These outboards are the sweet spot of Mercury’s line — smooth, quiet, and powerful — giving the Targa 32 a responsive and confident ride. Combine that with Mercury’s Joystick Piloting System (JPO) at both the helm and aft cockpit, and you get precision control for close-quarters maneuvering or docking solo.
Walkaround Functionality with Nordic DNA
True to Targa’s Finnish heritage, the 32 Outboard offers full walkaround side decks with substantial stainless steel rails and a pilothouse layout that maximizes visibility, ventilation, and safety. Whether you’re fishing, cruising, or exploring the coast, this vessel is designed for serious use in real-world conditions.
Highlights include:
-
Wide side decks with hip-height railings
-
Optional powder-coated or teak railing packages
-
Multiple boarding gates (aft and side)
-
A bow boarding ladder — ideal for island-hopping or rocky shoreline access
Outdoor Living, Scandinavian Style
Aft, the cockpit is incredibly versatile with flip-up bench seats, an overhead sun awning, and ample storage under the seats for gear, fenders, and hoses. Four robust Bernwind rail mounts offer custom options for grills, rod holders, or cutting boards — a reminder that this boat is made for both work and play.
Move forward to the bow lounge, and you’ll find seating for eight, a table mount, and options for a forward sun awning. It’s a perfect breakfast spot, evening cocktail corner, or private retreat from the action aft.
Off-Grid Ready Systems
This boat isn’t just beautiful — it’s built to be self-sufficient. The Targa 32 Outboard is equipped with:
-
Three lithium batteries
-
Three rooftop solar panels
-
Diesel air heater and water heater
-
Victron power management system
-
Fridge/freezer both inside and outside
It’s ready for long weekends or even extended cruises, without needing a generator or shore power every night.
Exquisite and Efficient Interior
Inside, the Targa 32 continues to impress with warm, functional styling and clever use of space:
-
Forward V-berth with filler cushion to convert into a queen+
-
Aft cabin with a double and a single berth
-
Convertible dinette/settee for additional sleeping space
-
Manual overhead hatches, sliding doors, and big windows for 360° airflow and visibility
The galley includes an induction cooktop, convection microwave oven, and a saltwater tap to conserve freshwater during longer voyages — thoughtful touches that prove this boat was built by cruisers, for cruisers.
Helm Highlights
The helm features everything you’d expect from Targa — and then some:
-
Shock-absorbing helm seat with full adjustability
-
Armrest-integrated plotter controls
-
Garmin multifunction displays
-
Dedicated Mercury engine display
-
Zipwake interceptor system with auto pitch and roll
