PRESS REVIEW:


“Although Tarquin Yacht Co. offer Trader motor yachts up to 120ft, their core business is still comfortable cruising boats from 40ft to 60ft. 


All feature an aft-cabin layout and a flybridge, and a finely honed solid-wood interior which not only looks the part but can absorb the wear and tear that goes with plenty of use.


The boats are built in Taiwan, but the UK end of the operation provides the direction, by way of all the design and engineering work, as well as ensuring that owners get what they want in terms of customised fit-outs…


There are three different ranges within the Trader family – Signature, Sundeck and Sunliner – each characterised by a slightly different exterior theme. Features of the Signature series include an elongated transom allowing for a fully integrated bathing platform, and a hardtop sheltering a large aft-deck entertaining area. 


What the 535 Signature promises is comfortable liveaboard cruising, but on a size or boat that be handled a-deux. 


Verdict


If you want a boat for spacious and comfortable liveaboard cruising, without having to fuss over it, this marque is difficult to beat. The 535 Signature offers serious bluewater passagemaking on the one hand, and extremely commodious interior and deck space on the other. “
