The T-Top wears her shade differently to the H-Top’s fixed roof.
Vanquish’s open framed T-Top structure covers the helm without enclosing it, a lighter, more sport oriented take on weather protection than the full hard top fitted to the H-Top. The same reverse bow and low sheer line carry through, along with the carbon fibre detailing, retractable drained cleats and non electric bow door that mark every hull in the range. At 13.3 metres she is marginally the longest of the three VQ45 variants, and Guido de Groot’s design credit runs through her exterior and interior alike, keeping the T-Top visually part of the same family as her open and hard top siblings despite the different top structure.
Heavier on paper, no less capable on the water.
At 14 tonnes displacement, the T-Top is the heaviest of the three VQ45 configurations, and her 1.2 metre draught is also the deepest. In practice this shows up as a planted, settled ride rather than any loss of pace. Standard twin Volvo Penta diesel pod drives give a 30 knot cruise and a 40 knot top speed, matching her open and hard top siblings, with an IPS650 upgrade available. Joystick control keeps close quarters handling manageable despite the added weight, and the deeper draught buys stability at speed without pushing her out of reach of most Mediterranean marinas and anchorages.
One cabin, two berths, eight guests. She is built for a smaller crowd, properly.
The T-Top’s day capacity of eight and sleeping capacity of two are the most modest in the VQ45 range, and that is the point rather than a limitation. The single cabin below deck carries the same Alcantara and ribbed panel finishing used across the line, with a separate shower room rather than a shared, awkward head. On deck, the open framed top keeps the helm and forward seating shaded while leaving the aft cockpit and bow open to the sun, a layout suited to a smaller group who want the full VQ45 experience without the space, or the price, built for a larger one.
Less fuel on board. More distance covered.
The T-Top carries 752 litres of fuel, the smallest tank in the VQ45 range, yet returns a 350 nautical mile range, the longest of the three, a function of her lighter running weight relative to fuel burn at cruise. For an owner planning a full day’s cruising with margin to spare, that combination matters more than raw tank size. A 30 knot cruising speed keeps consumption efficient without sacrificing the pace that defines the range, and the standard diesel pod drives are tuned for exactly this balance of speed and endurance rather than outright top end.
At 650,000 euros, she is the most accessible way into the VQ45 range.
The T-Top’s specification reflects her positioning: one cabin, one crew berth, and a price that sits well below both the Open and the H-Top. She carries the same Guido de Groot design credit and Vanquish in-house engineering as her siblings, built to order rather than off a fixed line, and the same 40 knot top speed the range is built around. Built in the Netherlands, she suits a buyer drawn to the VQ45’s proportions and performance who does not need the larger cabin count or day capacity of her siblings, and would rather put the difference in price toward options, or simply toward owning the boat sooner.
