Forty-eight knots at the top, thirty-six at a settled cruise. Few yachts of this length get close.
Twin MAN V12 engines, 2,000 horsepower each, come as standard, with a three-engine Volvo Penta IPS1350 package available for owners who want redundancy and sharper handling at speed. A 6,500 litre fuel capacity supports a genuine 600 nautical mile range at cruise, while a shallow 1.2 metre draught keeps shallow bays and marina berths within easy reach. It is a specification built for owners who plan to use the speed, not just quote it, whether that means an early start to beat the crowds or a late return after dinner along the coast.
Hand-built in aluminium in the Netherlands, the VQ70 wears her performance without shouting about it.
Guido de Groot’s exterior work gives her a low, taut profile that keeps the emphasis on the water rather than on superstructure. The open deck plan runs from the bow to the aft cockpit with barely a break in sightline, built to hold up to twenty guests for the day without ever feeling packed. A 5.7 metre beam gives that deck real usable width, and the aluminium build keeps weight down where it matters most, in a hull designed to hold forty-eight knots comfortably rather than touch it briefly.
Below decks, the VQ70 keeps things deliberately compact: two cabins, four guests, a crew of two to run it properly.
Guido de Groot’s interior carries the same restraint as the exterior, favouring clean lines and considered materials over sheer volume. The layout is built for owners who use the yacht as a fast, capable base for a few nights at a time rather than an extended cruise, with the emphasis placed firmly on the deck space above rather than a third or fourth cabin below. It is a configuration that suits the VQ70’s character: a day boat with genuine overnight range, not a small superyacht trying to do everything at once.
Twenty guests can come aboard for the day and still find room to spread out.
The open deck plan that defines the VQ70 from the outside does the real work here, giving day guests space to move between sun, shade and the water without funnelling through a saloon. Seakeeper stabilisation keeps the ride settled at anchor as well as under way, which matters when the whole point of the layout is comfortable time on deck rather than time spent bracing against movement. It is a yacht built around the way owners actually spend a day on the water: fast passages, long lunch stops, and a settled platform in between.
The VQ70 is built by Vanquish in the Netherlands, a yard defined by fast, aluminium-built yachts rather than volume production.
Guido de Groot’s naval architecture, exterior and interior design all sit under one hand, giving the yacht a coherence that is hard to match when those roles are split across separate studios. Vanquish’s in-house engineering team carries that vision through to the build itself, with a choice of two engine packages letting an owner weight the specification towards range, redundancy or outright speed. For a buyer who wants a fast, aluminium yacht with day capacity well beyond her length, the VQ70 makes a strong case.
