VQ45
The Vanquish VQ58 is a 58-foot performance motoryacht that was launched by the Dutch yacht-building firm Vanquish Yachts in 2020. A radically sleek and futuristic look with an axe-bow, a horizontal sheer and a metallic livery mark this yacht out as one of the most cutting-edge vessels out on the water today. Performance is just as avant-garde, with powerful engines and responsive handling providing a piloting experience like no other. Contemporary living spaces across deck, clad in decadent leather and deluxe exotic hardwoods, are just as modish but deliver something distinctly more old-fashioned: comfortable relaxation.
As a semi-customizable boat, you can pick and choose from a range of options to match your active, at-sea lifestyle. Choose a T-top to keep you shielded from the elements or go for an open-deck layout that matches your desire to enjoy sun-kissed summer afternoons. Either way, you will discover a sprawling foredeck lounge with a triple-width sunpad in authentic leather or Silverguard upholstery that connects to a bow-lounge with two sofas and an adjustable pop-up table ideal for enjoying aperitifs. Living spaces to stern are just as impressive, with a rear sunpad that sits above a capacious tender garage and next to twin side steps that lead down to a full-beam, teak-lined hydraulic swimming platform.
There is a free-flowing connection from here to the cockpit, where a hook-shaped sofa wraps around a bespoke dining table, with a port-side helm station right at the front and an optional wet-bar with a sink, an ice-chipper and chilled storage to starboard. The dashboard in here has been fine-tuned for high-octane piloting, and adrenaline-fueled owner-operators will love the Raymarine glass cockpit with digital touch-screen instrumentation, the joystick handling and the thruster controls, while Fusion stereo switches let you control the vibe as well as the speed. An above-helm glazed sunroof up here will retain your connection to the elements while driving, and a companionway door to starboard leads down to a surprisingly large lower-deck that allows this yacht to transcend its day-boat characterization.
Your choice of hardwoods and carpeting will line a lower-deck lobby with trapezoidal hull windows, a galley and a V-shaped seating berth that can be easily transformed into a wide double bed for overnight rest. The kitchen features Corian work surfaces, a microwave, an AEG convection oven and an optional hob, while the V-seating area comes with a pop-up breakfast table. There is also a spacious head on this level with a stone sink, a toilet and an enclosed shower cubicle ideal for freshening up after a hard day attacking the waves.
A proprietary aluminum hull designed by Guido de Groot with an ultra-sharp axe bow is both lightweight and durable and holds remarkable lateral stability even at the very highest speeds. You will find a pair of 600hp Cummins Zeus drives to power this yacht to top speeds of over 39 knots. Not enough power? Then take a look at upgrades available in the form of twin 725hp Volvo Penta IPS950 engines or two beastly MAN V8 engines with 1300hp each that, when paired with France Helices surface drives, should reach top speeds of 48 knots.
