Vanquish x GP Elite: an alliance of independent minds

Some partnerships exist for visibility. Ours with GP Elite exists because we recognize ourselves in one another. Vanquish Yachts and GP Elite are both built for individuals who choose performance over pretense, precision over noise, and individuality over convention.

Extending a Natural Alliance

For the 2026 season, Vanquish is extending its partnership with GP Elite, a leading motorsport organization pushing the limits of automotive performance. The collaboration unites two worlds defined by engineering excellence and control—one on the water, the other on the circuit.

To kick off the partnership and season, GP Elite unveiled its newest race cars at the Vanquish shipyard in Marknesse yesterday. Throughout the year, Vanquish branding will be visible on race cars, team apparel and trailers in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, speaking directly to an audience that understands power, precision, and distinctive design.

From Grand Prix Heat to Harbor Power

A highlight of the partnership will be the Monaco Grand Prix 2026, where Vanquish yachts will be present in the heart of the harbor. Guests will experience the contrast and connection between the intensity of the race and the controlled power of a Vanquish yacht—two expressions of the same mindset.

Beyond Monaco, Vanquish and GP Elite will host an exclusive “racing on the water” event for select guests, translating circuit skills and instincts to the sea aboard high-performance Vanquish yachts.

A Shared Obsession with Detail

For Vanquish, this partnership is a statement of intent as much as a strategic alliance. As CEO Frank Spikker puts it: “This partnership is not just about visibility. It is about aligning with a team that shares our meticulous attention to detail, our devotion to engineering excellence, and our fearless approach to performance. I am genuinely thrilled to chart another year with GP Elite as a partner that lives and breathes the same obsession that defines Vanquish.”

Marc Schipper, Founder of GP Elite, adds: “We’re very excited to extend our partnership in 2026 with Vanquish Yachts. Our partnership goes beyond a logo on the car, because when two independent teams with shared values work together, it does more than add support — it creates new opportunities, next-level performance, and makes dreams possible.”

For our owners and future clients, Vanquish x GP Elite reinforces one clear message: if you live for performance without compromise—on water or on the track—you are in the right company.
