Vanquish Yachts are planning to introduce their latest yacht design, the new VQ48, to the general public in June. Having designed, engineered and built not one, but two aluminium motoryachts in just seven months the dual presentations will take place in bustling Saint-Tropez and on the beautiful Balearic island of Ibiza, this coming June.

The exact date, time and location will be disclosed soon but they're on course for the last week of June. Guests at the launch event will also have the opportunity to put the new VQ48 through her paces on the water and see for themselves if they’ve succeeded in exceeding expectations.

The VQ48 will include some exclusive features, such as custom-built seats for the captain and the introduction of a Big Green Egg Barbeque. Vanquish have worked with Swiss TV personality and top chef, René Schudel, to design the most efficient layout for the galley and equipment of the new VQ48. He also came up with the unique idea of developing a Mini Big Green Egg Barbecue frame that can be set up in the place where the swim ladder normally resides.

There are two Vanquish Points in the Mediterranean, Saint-Tropez being one of them. Each Vanquish Point has one or more Vanquish motoryachts that are on show for potential clients, with test drives also available. Saint-Tropez will also be home to the new VQ48 from June onwards.

Stay tuned for news on the official presentation!
