Vanquish Yachts VQ55
About this yacht
The Vanquish Yachts VQ55 represents a bold departure from conventional motor yacht design—a 17.30-meter powerboat that channels pure performance without sacrificing the refinement expected of a premium day cruiser. Built since 2023 with a fiberglass hull and CE (B) certification for offshore voyaging up to 200 nautical miles, the VQ55 accommodates 12 guests across thoughtfully configured spaces. The 1.00-meter draft opens access to shallower anchorages typically beyond reach for vessels in this class. What sets this motor yacht apart is its optional Veloce configuration—a statement in engineering ambition. Five Mercury V12 600HP outboards deliver acceleration that feels more akin to a performance car than a cruiser, with top speeds reaching 65 knots. The stepped hull design maintains a low center of gravity, translating raw power into composed, responsive handling even at speed. The center-console layout emphasizes the VQ55's sporting character while maintaining luxury credentials. Sports-style seating for four at the helm creates an immersive driving experience, while the exceptionally open walkaround deck provides generous space for entertaining—a rare combination in high-performance motor yachts. Side-boarding doors ensure elegant access, a detail more commonly associated with superyachts than day cruisers. Vanquish Yachts equips the VQ55 with features typically considered upgrades elsewhere: Hoshizaki ice machines favored by professional mixologists, water misters that deliver cooling spray gentle enough for fine fabrics, premium wetbars, and grilling stations. Forward and aft cabins with galley, kitchen, and bathroom facilities offer versatility—whether accommodating crew, hosting overnight guests, or creating a private retreat. This is a motor yacht for those who refuse to choose between exhilarating performance and refined entertaining. The Vanquish Yachts VQ55 delivers both with uncommon conviction.
