Advanced composite

VQ composite models prove that molded doesn’t mean compromised. We’ve mastered composite construction to deliver the same Vanquish standards of design, comfort, and superyacht-level build quality.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Our restless Dutch spirit dares us to disrupt conventions with every hull, every curve, every innovation. High performance, bold design and singular craftsmanship: these are not merely goals, but basic principles. We refuse the ordinary and obsess over every detail, so each yacht is tailored, powerful, and as unique as its owner.

ABOUT VANQUISH

Tom Steentjes built his first boat with no intention of creating a shipyard. He simply wanted to craft something extraordinary with his own hands. Drawing on his skills as a welder and his passion for innovation, he set out to build a midsize yacht that was different from anything on the market: bold in design, driver-focused and engineered with his fresh ideas.
