Seventy knots is not a number most 52 foot yachts get near. The Vitesse was built to make it look routine.
Infusion construction, with select carbon fibre sections worked into the layup, keeps weight down without compromising the strength a hull this size needs for open water running. A Quad Mercury Racing 450R package comes as standard, pushing her to a 45 knot cruise and a 70 knot top end, with Quad Mercury Verado 400 or Quad Seven Marine 627 options available for owners who want to shift that balance. The result is a platform built specifically to carry serious horsepower without the structure working against it.
She debuted in matte grey, finished to look every bit as fast standing still as she is at speed.
The flagship of the range carries a lower, wider stance than her 43 foot siblings, a beam of 4.6 metres spread across a 15.9 metre length that gives her genuine presence alongside outright pace. A large, hydraulically actuated swim platform set into the side rather than the transom, a feature her builder describes as a first for a performance centre console, opens straight onto the water for swimming and tender access. At the bow, the forward lounge converts between a dining table and a sunbathing platform, extending usable deck space well beyond the cockpit.
Two cabins below deck, arranged so family and guests have genuine separation, not just berths.
A dedicated VIP stateroom anchors the accommodation, with a further aft bunk suited to younger guests kept apart from the main sleeping area. Between them the two cabins sleep four, supported by a crew of two who can manage both the yacht and her guests on longer trips. It is a layout built around real use rather than maximum headcount, favouring comfort and privacy over squeezing in extra berths on a hull already working hard at the top end.
A 300 nautical mile range from a 2,500 litre tank, with a draught shallow enough to still reach the places that matter.
At 1.2 metres, her draught keeps shallow anchorages within reach despite her size, a genuine advantage for a 52 foot performance yacht built to run hard offshore and then tuck into quiet water. The 2,500 litre fuel capacity is sized for her quad engine package, giving an owner real range for a full day on the water without planning refuelling stops around it. A crew of two means she can be run properly on longer outings rather than limited to short, owner only trips.
The fastest yacht in the collection, and the one with the most presence to match.
She measures 15.9 metres overall on a 4.6 metre beam, with a 1.2 metre draught and a 300 nautical mile range. Two cabins sleep four guests, with day space for eight and a crew of two aboard. Designed, engineered and built entirely in-house by Midnight Express, and shown first at the Miami International Boat Show as the maiden hull of the model, the 52′ Vitesse gives an owner the top of the range without stepping outside it: the same build philosophy as her sisters, scaled up to a genuinely rare top speed.
