Description
VESPER is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most capable and striking performance day yachts on the market today. Originally commissioned for nearly $2,000,000 USD, she is now offered at $995,000 — representing exceptional value for a discerning buyer who knows what this boat is worth.
Built in 2017 by the renowned Dutch shipyard Vanquish Yachts, the VQ54 is a limited production vessel no longer in production, making examples like VESPER increasingly difficult to find. Her all-aluminum hull delivers exceptional rigidity, a dry ride at speed, and outstanding durability — hallmarks of Dutch engineering at its finest.
VESPER is powered by twin MAN D2676LE423 800hp diesel engines with surface drives, capable of reaching maximum speeds of 45 knots. She is built to cover open water fast — Fort Lauderdale to Bimini in approximately 90 minutes at cruise speed.
VESPER is in turn-key condition following a comprehensive $300,000 refit completed at LMC Fort Lauderdale in May 2024. The entire exterior was repainted, hull and running gear renewed including prop-speed application and new anodes, exterior cushions fully reupholstered, every hinge replaced, sliding door locks updated, and new shower fittings installed. In the engine room: new engine control panels, 220V inverter, replaced hydraulic pipes, serviced main engines and gearboxes, new seawater pump hoses, cleaned hydraulic heat exchanger, replaced batteries, new bilge pumps, serviced bow thruster, reconditioned underwater lights, new water boiler, LED bathroom lighting and replaced extraction fans.
Most recently, VESPER received a fresh bottom repaint, complete engine service and generator service in April 2026 — filters, fluids and full mechanical inspection. Port engine: 863 hours. Starboard engine: 860 hours. She is mechanically sound and ready for immediate use.
Additional highlights include a 17" Raymarine cockpit navigation system, 8kw Whisper Power generator, bow and stern thrusters with joystick control, automatic hydraulic hatches, remote control anchor system with 50m stainless steel chain, 3 interior refrigerators plus 2 deck-mounted refrigerators, ice maker, separate shower cabin with rain shower, pop-up cleats, LED floor lighting, and automatic fire suppression system in the engine room.
