2024 Vanquish Boats VQ80 SportsFish

The VQ80 SF.
This fully custom VQ80 SportsFish is a sleek and classy yacht the likes of which has never been seen before. She’s also one of the fastest superyachts on the planet.

CATCH-ME-QUICK HYBRID.
Ordered as a chase boat for the 60-metre superyacht Project SkyFall, the VQ80 SportsFish introduces an unprecedented degree of imposing looks, breakneck speed and high-tech sophistication to the conservative sea-fishing world. A hybrid between a luxurious sportfish superyacht and a VQ powerboat at the peak of her performance, this boat offers every facility and layout option for avid fishers and their friends.

TAKE THE BAIT.
The thunder for this extreme boat will be provided by the next-generation C32B marine engine, set to offer a storming 4800 horsepower in total. The brand-new Caterpillars will in turn feed two surface drives that will push the VQ80 to 52 knots. Advancing the throttles will be an experience in itself on this powerful VQ, which will also carry a whopping 5700 litres of fuel. With a range at 48 to 50 knots of 330 nautical miles, the best off-the-beaten-track fishing grounds soon come into play.

HIGH EFFICIENCY.
The deployment of Petestep’s hull technology will increase efficiency by over 15%, allowing for an impressive top speed and operating range. In combination with the suspension effect of the Petestep deflectors, the VQ80 SportFish sets a new benchmark for performance and ride comfort. The boat will be kitted out with the latest Garmin gear including fishfinders and chart plotters. And once the reel battle has been won, hydraulic doors open at port as well as starboard side to safely haul the fish into the hold.

INTEGRATED DESIGN.
The profile of the VQ80 SportsFish radiates power and speed in every detail, with an aggressive paint scheme adding to the mix. The designers played a lot with the proportions to get the right height, especially with the tuna tower on top, part of which has been integrated into the superstructure. The upper line of the spacious stern fishing cockpit flows over the hull, blending with the engine room and cabin windows to generate a unified design signature and true sense of swiftness.

REEL PLEASURES.
The elegant and sporty interior includes a large saloon with extra outside sitting to watch the fishing action. Excellent storage space in the luxury area makes life easy for owners and guests during extended stays. Overnight expeditions will be a joy too thanks to the forward owner’s suite and two double guest cabins. With accommodation for two crew members also included, the onboard service levels can be raised at will. Last but not least, a Seakeeper 26 will ensure maximum comfort at anchor for all who come aboard.
