VQ40 sales boom

The VQ40 has been a massive hit since its introduction last year. Showcasing premium Vanquish quality in composite. We’ve already delivered two VQ40s to the EU and four to the United States. Another ten models are currently in production as the yard works tirelessly to meet the high demand.

The idea of building the VQ40 in composite was to enable Vanquish power and excitement to become even more widely available. Faster and more cost-efficient to build than custom-built motoryachts under 45ft in aluminium, the VQ40 offers a compact version of the Vanquish brand with all the qualities of finish and performance that make it special.

And boy have the performances of the first VQ40s been special. The owners are delighted with how easy the boat is to handle, with its sleek stepped hull by naval architect Bakewell-White ensuring fantastic manoeuvrability. Those who have been onboard also marvel at how amazingly dry they stay and how smooth she rides.

Ideal as a tender or chase boat as well as a superior sports boat in its own right, the VQ40’s multifunctionality is enhanced by the choice between inboard and outboard engines. The triple Verado 450R outboards offer serious power and a blistering top speed of at least 63 knots. There’s also a Veloce version with triple  Seven Marine 627 hp engines for those looking to go even faster. Small wonder that the outboard models are proving especially popular with US customers, with the VQ40 being the first Vanquish capable of joining the annual poker run from Miami to the Bahamas.

But the VQ40 is not only about sports and speed. The inboard models are superb for embracing the al fresco life, with lots of options for family and friends to lounge, lunch and party on the spacious aft deck. The low draught increases access to smaller harbours, another reason why the model is ideal for chartering when not being used by the owner. Up to fourteen people can come aboard, constantly refreshed by two or three fridges as required.

In addition to the propulsion, all VQ40s can be personalised in terms of their interior style, upholstery and colour scheme. With an extended outdoor galley and a toilet/shower below deck, the VQ40 is as versatile as it is vibrant.
