Joystick Control INTRODUCTION

Talaria 55 Flybridge is the epitome of luxury, style and grace.  Her classic style has the added benefit of flybridge for entertaining and feeling the wind in your face.  The single cabin is perfect for a cruising couple, and convertible berths can accommodate more guests when the need arises.  She boasts a full helm station on the flybridge, and an inside steering section in the pilothouse- both complete with the Hinckley Jetstick joystick system for effortless control. The interior is finished in gloss varnish and raised-panel custom detailing throughout.  FIVE STAR features the upgraded Man V-12 engine package that provides an impressive 30kt cruise and blistering near-40 kt top speed.  Continuous upgrades and maintenance ensure she is more than ready for her next owner.
