Description

TAKE IT EASY V, a 2022 Vanquish VQ58, stands as the pinnacle of Dutch yacht-building craftsmanship, uniting custom aluminum construction with cutting-edge design, pace, and poise. With low engine hours and an extensive program of recent upgrades just completed at the Vanquish Shipyard in Fort Lauderdale, she offers the rare opportunity to acquire a nearly new, meticulously refreshed yacht with meaningful savings over replacement cost.

Her hull and exterior have been comprehensively renewed: the topsides, boot stripe, and deck hull structure were refinished with new paint; the hull bottom received fresh Trilux 33 antifouling; the rubber rub rail was replaced; and the roof was repainted. The glass roof panels benefit from new caulking and a V-Kool reflective heat film installation that tempers solar load while preserving the crystalline aesthetic of the panoramic hardtop skylight.

Mechanical and propulsion care has been equally thorough. The VQ11 tender underwent a complete overhaul that encompassed engine and component repairs with a full wiring harness replacement. The main engines received new idlers, belt tensioners, and rubber belts, while Volvo drive gear was treated with PropSpeed. Propellers were balanced and reconditioned for optimal efficiency and smoothness. The bow thruster system was refreshed with four VQ hull zinc anodes (Volvo), ensuring reliable, quiet control at low speeds.

Power and electrical systems have been thoughtfully updated and specified. A new shore power system provides 125/250 VAC, 50 Amp service with a 50 ft cable, complemented by a shore power inlet rated 125/250V, 30A with ELCI for enhanced safety. The Fisher Panda generator has just received its 300-hour service, while the onboard generator is the Fischer Panda 15000I delivering 12.0 kW. The yacht benefits from a Victron Energy 24–230V, 8000VA inverter, a Victron Energy 24V/200A battery charger, and Victron Energy transformers rated 7000W (230V) and 3600W (115/230V). Digital switching is executed via the Vanquish/EmpirBus system, and multiple dedicated battery banks serve engine start, service loads, the thruster, and generator start.

Interior refinements include a new carpet with a spare set carried aboard, reconditioned furniture, and custom-designed pillows that echo the yacht’s clean, architectural lines. On deck, a complete new set of linen-beige cushions elevates the lounge experience, a new Fusion audio system with software update brings crisp, powerful sound, and the Besenzoni swim ladder has been fully overhauled. All three A/C systems have been checked, and the Sea-Keeper annual service has been completed to ensure unwavering comfort and stability.

The VQ58’s special features underscore its bespoke pedigree: custom aluminum construction with no molds used; an axe bow design that enhances sea-keeping; Flexiteek synthetic teak decking; a panoramic glass skylight hardtop; carbon fiber sunshade poles at both bow and aft; Versari pop-up cleats; an anchor that deploys from the hull bottom; a boot stripe that flows seamlessly onto the swim platform; and the Nebulizzazione Euro misting system for a cooling, luxurious breeze underway or at anchor.

Navigation and electronics are fully modern and integrated. Twin Garmin GPSMAP 8616 XSV displays anchor the helm, joined by a Garmin Fantom 18 radar (48-mile range), Garmin AIS 800, Garmin VHF 315, and a Reactor 40 autopilot integrated with GPS. Night operations are enhanced by a FLIR infrared camera with PTZ functions, while the Vanquish/EmpirBus vessel monitoring system provides intuitive situational awareness. An additional Garmin GPSMAP 743 XSV resides in the cabin for redundancy and convenience.

Stability and close-quarters control are exceptional. A Seakeeper SK9000 gyroscopic stabilizer calms the ride, a Side-Power 24V electric bow thruster aids docking, Volvo Penta interceptor trim tabs optimize running attitude, and electric steering through the IPS drives delivers fingertip precision.

Climate control is robust and quiet, courtesy of a Dometic direct expansion A/C system rated at 30,000 BTU, with three self-contained compressor/blower units and two Primetime 230V raw water pumps. Accommodations feature two staterooms forward and aft, one head fitted with a Planus freshwater toilet, a separate shower compartment, and elegant wood cabinetry accented by glossy aluminum finishes.

The galley is equipped for refined cruising with a Liebherr refrigerator and freezer compartment, a Samsung microwave with convection, an Isotherm icemaker, a Liebherr wine cooler, and multiple refrigerated drawers by Isotherm and Vitrifrigo. Domestic hot water is assured by a Quick 40-liter water heater (230V + engine heating).

Entertainment flows throughout the yacht with a Fusion marine stereo system supporting satellite radio, dual JL Audio amplifiers, custom aluminum speakers, and subwoofers tucked under the captain’s seat and in the deck lounge for a richly layered soundstage.

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D11B2-A MP main engines rated at 725 HP (533 KW) each, featuring a freshwater circulating cooling system and driving Volvo Penta IPS950 (IPS20D) pod drives. Single-lever electronic controls with joystick make helming intuitive, while Volvo Penta DPS dynamic positioning holds the boat steady with the push of a button. The Fischer Panda 15000I generator supplies shipboard power with an output of 12.0 kW.

Deck equipment is equally accomplished: a Maxwell horizontal hydraulic windlass; approximately 200' of stainless steel anchor chain mated to a stainless steel Danforth anchor; a Besenzoni hydraulic passarelle; a Quick 24V tender winch with remote; and a hydraulic transom garage door. At night, seven underwater LED lights (Bluefin) paint the sea with a luminous glow, a Marinco searchlight with pan-tilt and remote guides the way, and a Jaro 24V air compressor (120 PSI) stands ready for tender and toy support.

The tender and toys suite is turnkey and superb. The Vanquish VQ11 tender (11' FRP with a Rotax 170HP inboard water jet) has been overhauled, and two Sea Bob F5 underwater electric scooters invite effortless play below the surface, with everything stowing neatly in the hydraulic transom garage.

Safety equipment is comprehensive and current, including 22 adult Type II life jackets, a FirePro FP1200TS aerosol fire suppression system in the engine room, two Type B:C fire extinguishers, visual distress signals valid through 04/2026, Rule 24V bilge pumps with float switches, a Whale 24V diaphragm pump, and a manual hand pump at the transom. In every detail, TAKE IT EASY V delivers the immediacy and assurance of a yacht that feels new, without the wait, at a compelling advantage over new-build replacement.
