Robin's Nest - VANQUISH YACHTS FOR SALE

“Robin’s Nest” stands among the most comprehensively specified VQ45s ever delivered, a showcase of Dutch artistry with a robust, all‑aluminum, fully welded hull that embodies the overbuilt ethos of a true luxury motor yacht. As a sport yacht and open yacht with superyacht‑tender pedigree, it blends sculpted style with purposeful strength to create a performance cruiser that feels impeccably solid offshore and exquisitely refined at the dock.

Quad Mercury Verado 600 hp V12 outboards unleash exhilarating acceleration, effortless hole shot, and a top speed north of 60 knots. Precision joystick control with Skyhook and a bow thruster make close‑quarters handling intuitive, while a Seakeeper 6 gyro and ZipWake automatic interceptor tabs deliver impressive composure both at speed and on the hook. The result is an express cruiser that carves, tracks, and settles with the poise of a far larger motor yacht.

The versatile deck plan invites seamless entertaining and easy movement: deep, comfortable seating throughout; full walkaround side decks leading forward to generous seating and a sunpad; and a custom hardtop with a three‑sided glass enclosure and air‑conditioned helm to keep you dry and cool in foul weather. Swing‑in boarding doors to port and starboard simplify side‑to, while faux‑teak decking flows bow to stern for a warm, contemporary finish. Below, the cabin is surprisingly spacious for a 45‑foot dayboat and weekend cruiser, offering a full berth, galley, and hull‑side windows, plus a private head with separate shower for effortless overnights.

The owner specified a no‑compromise electronics suite: a full Garmin navigation package, an upgraded JL Audio sound system that fills the open cockpit with rich, clean sound, and a FLIR thermal camera to extend confidence after dark. LED underwater lights add a dramatic glow at anchor, and a Besenzoni teak passerelle/swim ladder with articulating hydraulic action elevates both boarding and swim‑off elegance. A through‑hull anchor and windlass system complete the offshore‑ready spec.

Power management is equally premium, with AC/DC capability from a Northern Lights diesel generator and a comprehensive Victron Energy suite featuring an inverter for quiet, generator‑free AC power. The latest EmpirBus digital switching ties it all together with intuitive, centralized control.

This one‑of‑a‑kind Vanquish turns heads in any harbor—captain‑maintained since new, fully up to date on service, with a recent bottom job completed 1/26. For those seeking a fast, refined, and unmistakably luxurious performance yacht—part open dayboat, part express cruiser, wholly unforgettable—“Robin’s Nest” delivers.

Transom

At the transom, quad Mercury 600 V12 engines showing 450 hours deliver commanding performance, mastered with intuitive joystick control and Skyhook station-keeping for effortless maneuvers. ZipWake interceptor trim tabs fine-tune attitude and efficiency, while underwater lights—3 to port and 3 to starboard—ignite the wake with a striking glow. A Besenzoni articulating passerelle (up/down) with teak steps and removable rails welcomes you aboard in style over a faux teak sole. Shore power outlet, freshwater shower, and discreet courtesy lighting enhance comfort at the waterline, complemented by integrated speakers that carry your soundtrack from dock to anchorage.

Aft deck

The aft deck transforms relaxation into an art form, with an electric aft sunshade that deploys at a touch to temper the midday sun. Deep U-shaped seating with generous storage embraces a large table fitted with five cupholders, all set over a handsome faux teak sole. The mood is refined by speakers and warm courtesy lighting, while pop-up cleats stand ready to tidy lines without interrupting the clean, modern aesthetic.

Enclosed helm deck

Command with confidence from the enclosed helm deck, wrapped in a three-sided glass enclosure with two windshield wipers for clarity in all conditions. Twin Garmin 8616 MFDs anchor a professional-grade suite that includes a Garmin VHF, a GT51M transducer, and an autopilot integrated through Mercury. Precision Mercury throttles, an engine display, and a joystick with Skyhook put nuanced control at your fingertips. Helm seating for two features fold-down footrests, cupholders, and storage, with an Isotherm refrigerator tucked below, while dedicated helm air conditioning keeps the space perfectly tempered. A sliding entry door leads to the cabin, crowned by a small Garmin MFD above for quick checks on the go.

Side decks

Moving forward is secure and seamless along side decks finished in faux teak, with pop-up cleats and courtesy lighting elegantly integrated. Aft to port, a dedicated fender storage compartment keeps gear orderly and close at hand. Recessed fills for water, diesel, and gasoline streamline service stops, while swing-in boarding doors to port and starboard make stepping aboard simple in any berth.

Bow

The bow invites both sun and conversation, beginning with an XL sunpad framed by six recessed cupholders and upright seating at its forward edge. Ahead, a forward U-shaped lounge encircles a table with four cupholders, all served by speakers, 12V outlets, and gentle courtesy lighting. Practicality meets poise with a thru-hull anchor, windlass and remote, removable running lights, and a manual removable sunshade. A bow thruster stands ready to finesse close-quarters handling with confident precision.

Cabin

Step below via three faux teak steps onto a faux teak sole with removable carpet, where natural light pours through hull-side windows. To starboard, a well-appointed galley features an Isotherm ice maker, microwave, sink, and ample storage, complemented by an Isotherm refrigerator aft on the centerline. Shipwide systems come alive on a dedicated Garmin display, while a JL Audio stereo sets the ambiance. Forward, a full berth awaits with courtesy lights, cupholders, and outlets, facing a flat screen TV mounted on the forward port bulkhead; a hanging locker to port keeps attire crisp. The full head includes a sink, vanity, and storage, with a separate shower fitted with wand and seat for unhurried comfort underway.

Hard top

Above it all, the hard top carries a custom mast supporting a Garmin closed-array radar, spotlight, EPIRB, a removable* full-size LED light bar, a FLIR thermal camera, and a KVH SAT TV dome, with an anchor light crowning the rig. An aft retractable sunshade extends cool comfort over the deck, while recessed lights and sunroofs with covers let you tailor the ambiance from dawn to dusk.

Mechanical room (lazzarette)

Beneath the swim platform seating, a hydraulically actuated access hatch opens to a meticulously organized mechanical room. Power resilience comes from a Northern Lights diesel generator with 550 hours feeding an Odyssey battery bank through Victron isolation transformers, with four Victron Orion DC to DC chargers, two Victron Phoenix Smart Chargers, a Victron Quattro charger/inverter, and two Victron Lynx distributor systems orchestrating clean, reliable current. Garmin AIS and sounder modules integrate seamlessly with onboard electronics, while an Arid Bilge System helps keep spaces dry and an Empires distribution box centralizes circuits. Water quality is elevated by a SpotZero reverse osmosis dock water treatment system, hot water by a 40 litre water heater, and motion by a SeaKeeper 6 gyro (136 run hours; 87 sea hours) that steadies the ride. Safety is underscored by outlets positioned for service and an automatic fire suppression system for peace of mind.
