Vanquish VQ48

Optimal customisability

VQ48 owners can make optimal use of the enormous flexibility offered by Vanquish Yachts, allowing each and every client to create something in aluminium that truly suits their particular idea of boating pleasure. From day one, space – for socialising and parties in particular – has been central to the design of the VQ48 and there are 19 seating places as standard. This will make this particular VQ48 a practical and much loved charter boat.

A good example of customisation has come with the second VQ48. This has been built for clients who already own a VQ43 and they have designed their interior so that day guests can have access to the head and galley without intruding on the master cabin. When privacy is not a concern, the cabin door can be left open to create an even more open feel. At the same time, the rain shower has been integrated into the ceiling so as to provide optimal headroom in the master, which can sleep up to three people.

Highest standards

The underwater segment and engine of the VQ48 were designed to comply with the highest contemporary yachting standards. As with all other Vanquish models, the VQ48 will set itself apart from other boats in its niche market through its low weight, leading to exceptional manoeuvrability, super-fast acceleration, low fuel consumption and an impressive top speed of well over 40 knots. It is also available in a VQ48 Veloce version, with an even more impressive top speed exceeding 50 knots.

Another example of innovations that are uncommon on similar boats is the submarine folding anchor system found on the VQ48. An electric anchor has been designed to fit within the lines of the underwater hull so that no chain or winch is visible when at anchor.
