Forty knots at the top, twenty-five at a comfortable cruise. Numbers that place the VQ80 firmly among open yachts built to be driven, not just admired.
Twin MAN V12 engines rated at 2,000 horsepower each come as standard, with MTU 16V2000 or Volvo Penta IPS1350 units available for owners who want to tune the character of the ride. An 8,000 litre fuel capacity delivers a genuine 450 nautical mile range at cruise, while a 1.8 metre draught keeps shallower anchorages and marinas within reach. It is a package built around versatility as much as outright speed, at home on a fast coastal run or a slower exploration of a new stretch of coastline.
Every line on the VQ80 carries Guido de Groot’s signature: lean, low and purposeful.
The open deck configuration runs the full length of the yacht, with no enclosed saloon breaking the sightlines from bow to stern. It is a layout built for entertaining in the open air, whether hosting up to twelve guests for the day or settling in for a sunset run along the coast. A 6.5 metre beam gives the deck real width without compromising the planing hull’s agility, and the low freeboard keeps the yacht visually tied to the water even at rest. The result is a silhouette that reads as fast standing still, and faster still under way.
Below decks, the VQ80 sleeps four across two cabins, kept intimate by design rather than by constraint.
Guido de Groot’s interior work continues the exterior’s restraint: clean surfaces, considered finishes and a layout that prioritises comfort over volume. Two cabins accommodate four guests overnight, with quarters for a crew of two ensuring the yacht can be run properly rather than simply used. It suits owners who see the VQ80 as a fast, capable weekend or week-long escape rather than a full-time liveaboard, where the deck space above matters more than a third or fourth cabin ever would.
Twelve guests can join for the day without the yacht ever feeling crowded.
The open deck plan that defines the VQ80’s exterior does double duty on board, giving day guests room to move between sun, shade and water without funnelling through a saloon. It suits the way many owners actually use a yacht of this size: short, fast trips with friends, lunch at anchor, an afternoon swim stop, then the run home before dark. The planing hull and generous power reserve mean none of that has to be slow, and the shallow draught keeps more of the coastline in play than a deeper-hulled yacht of the same length could manage.
The VQ80 is built by Vanquish in the Netherlands, a yard that has made open, high-performance yachts its entire focus.
Guido de Groot’s naval architecture, exterior and interior work all sit under one signature, giving the yacht a coherence that is harder to achieve when those roles are split across different studios. Vanquish’s own engineering team carries that vision through the build, with a choice of three engine packages allowing an owner to set the balance between range, noise and outright speed. For a buyer who wants a fast, open yacht with a single clear design vision behind it, the VQ80 is a considered and capable choice.
