Sixty three knots from a 14 metre hull is not a typo.
The optional configuration pairs four Mercury 600 V12 outboards for a combined 2,400 horsepower, enough to push the VQ45 Veloce to a 63 knot top speed and a 40 knot cruise, figures that put her ahead of every other Vanquish in the range regardless of length. The standard fit, quad Volvo Penta IPS 600 drives, trades a little outright speed for efficiency, with a 1,900 litre fuel capacity supporting 300 nautical miles at cruise either way. A stepped hull keeps weight down at 14.4 tonnes displacement and manages the transition from rest to plane with the agility the design was built around, rather than simply chasing a top speed number for its own sake.
Guido de Groot’s hand is unmistakable, even at the smallest size Vanquish builds.
The VQ45 Veloce carries the same axe bow and stepped hull profile as her larger siblings, scaled down without losing the proportions that make the family recognisable. A full walkaround deck runs the perimeter for safety and ease of movement, while an oversized swim platform, extendable and fitted with steps, turns the stern into a proper boarding and swimming area rather than an afterthought. Folding cleats keep the deck line clean when she is underway, and side boarding doors give guests direct access at the dock without crossing the cockpit. At a 0.9 metre draught, she can nose into water most 45 foot yachts would have to avoid.
One cabin, two berths, built for a night away rather than a week aboard.
The single stateroom sleeps two beneath the foredeck, finished with Alcantara and rib panelling and lit indirectly rather than through a single overhead fitting, a detail that lifts the cabin well beyond what its size might suggest. A separate bathroom with its own shower sits alongside, compact but complete. Eight day guests can be seated across the cockpit and bow, making the VQ45 Veloce as capable a day entertainer as she is an overnight escape for two. Storage below the aft sundeck holds water toys out of sight, keeping the deck itself clear for the guests she is really built to carry.
A 1,900 litre tank does real work behind a 63 knot top speed.
At a 40 knot cruise, the VQ45 Veloce covers 300 nautical miles before needing to refuel, a genuine range for a yacht built primarily around performance rather than distance. The standard quad Volvo Penta IPS 600 drives trade a fraction of the optional Mercury outboards’ outright speed for efficiency at cruising speed, giving owners a choice between maximum pace and maximum range from the same hull. Joystick control makes the difference felt most in harbour rather than offshore, turning docking and close quarters manoeuvring, normally the least forgiving part of owning a fast, powerful yacht, into a simple, precise operation regardless of which engine option is fitted.
At 1.2 million euros new, the VQ45 Veloce is the most accessible way into the Vanquish range, not the least capable.
She measures 14 metres overall with a 4.2 metre beam and a 0.9 metre draught, displacing 14.4 tonnes. One cabin sleeps two, with day capacity for eight and berths for a single crew member. Guido de Groot handles exterior and interior design, Vanquish’s own team covers naval architecture and engineering, and the standard quad Volvo Penta IPS 600 drives can be upgraded to IPS 650 or to four Mercury 600 V12 outboards for a 63 knot top speed. For an owner drawn to the Vanquish name but not yet ready for the VQ52 or VQ58, the VQ45 Veloce delivers the fastest performance in the range at the entry point to it.
