Vanquish VQ40 | Yacht House Signature Refit

Performance, Character and a Complete Signature Refit

Offered for sale in the Netherlands, this 2022 Vanquish VQ40 combines the unmistakable design and performance of Vanquish with an extensive specification and the added benefit of a complete Yacht House Signature Refit included in the sale.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-440 diesel engines, she offers the performance for which the VQ40 is known, with a reported maximum speed of approximately 45 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 25 knots.

This particular VQ40 has previously been professionally operated as a chase boat in support of a larger yacht. This operational history explains the higher engine hours compared with a typical privately used day boat. Throughout this period, the yacht has been maintained on a structured service schedule, with engine servicing carried out at approximately 200-hour intervals and the Volvo Penta stern drives serviced annually.

As part of the sale, the yacht will undergo the complete Yacht House Signature Refit programme and will be delivered following completion of the specified refit works.

Yacht House Signature Refit

The Signature Refit includes a new upholstery set, refined interior update, new cover and a full technical service. Every element is approached with precision and care, ensuring the yacht is not only visually refreshed, but also professionally prepared for confident and comfortable use.

Following completion, the result will be a Vanquish VQ40 that combines contemporary refinement with the unmistakable character of the brand. Elegant, powerful and ready for her next owner, she represents the Yacht House approach to pre-owned yachts: carefully selected, professionally upgraded and delivered to an exceptional standard.
