Vanquish starts build of new VQ54 with garage for Williams tender

The owner of the first of these two new VQ54s intends to her use her as ‘the ultimate party boat for Ibiza’, while the second is available to a client looking to embrace the awesome manoeuvrability, exceptional cruising comfort and total custom construction options that have made the Vanquish brand the talk of the motor yachting industry over the past year. The VQ54 is designed by Guido de Groot with Studio Delta being responsible for the naval architecture brief.

Style icon

After making a big splash with the VQ48 at the Cannes and Monaco shows, Vanquish developed this new icon of powerboat style and excitement with a number of specific requirements in mind. The VQ54 will be able to reach a thrilling 45+knots thanks to the deployment of MAN i6-800 in-line six-cylinder engines, which recently won the international Red Dot design award. And the boat comes with its own tender bay, which can easily accommodate a Williams 285 Turbojet.

“This two-boats-in-one design opens up a world of options for the owners,” says Tom Steentjes, CEO of Vanquish Yachts. “The fast Williams tender is ideal for wake boarding with the kids on the open sea within safe reach of the VQ54. At the same time it allows easy access to quayside restaurants for lunch or a trip to the beach. However it is used, we designed the door of the tender garage to open aft in order to facilitate easy departure and docking.”

The VQ54 can actually take this whole concept further by becoming a super yacht tender in its own right. “If you are looking for a boat within a boat within a boat, this must surely be the ultimate solution,” adds Steentjes. “The VQ54 makes for a highly comfortable yet super-speedy guest tender that can also be taken out to explore bays and inlets, with the Williams then being launched to literally and metaphorically go the extra mile onto the shore.

Wealth of space

Some 16.60 metres in length with a 4.91-metre beam, the VQ54 also provides a fabulous array of options for those who choose to stay on board the mothership. A priority has been given to creating a wealth of open deck space for lounging and freedom of movement. There is also lots of storage space for luggage, fenders, diving equipment and other toys.

The interior includes a spacious shower room with toilet as well as a comfortable

Bed for two people. On deck there is a large kitchen with substantial refrigerators that is ideal for al fresco wining and dining. Additional shade on the motor yacht can be provided by various bimini systems.

Bold and balanced

The exterior design of the VQ54 design is also fully balanced. Guido de Groot’s bold lines give the yacht a distinctive and dynamic appearance that is clearly recognisable from a distance. Nor will the view be obstructed by spray: the VQ54 will remain exceptionally ‘dry’ both at low speeds and when planing. Spray- free rides are assured even in rough seas and high winds, considerably enhancing the sailing comfort.
