Vanquish 40 Sports Line: Speed, Style, and the Spirit of the Riviera About the Yacht The Vanquish 40 Sports Line is where luxury meets performance. With accommodation for up to four guests, this yacht features two comfortable berths—ideal for family getaways or a weekend with friends. Onboard, you'll find high-end navigation electronics, a powerful audio system, a sun deck, a spacious cockpit, and a galley equipped for long days at sea. Safety is paramount: the VQ40 is equipped with automatic fire suppression, life jackets, an EPIRB, and advanced navigation lights. The Yacht’s Story & My Experience Since acquiring the VQ40, it’s become the centerpiece of countless family outings and the occasional local regatta. We’ve sailed her along the Côte d’Azur, from sunrise breakfasts at anchor to spirited afternoon cruises. The yacht’s agility and comfort make every trip a pleasure, whether it’s a relaxed day with my daughter or a friendly competition with fellow boaters. Discovering the Area Located in Les Issambres, the VQ40 is perfectly positioned for exploring the French Riviera. From our home port, you can easily reach: Saint-Tropez: Legendary nightlife and chic restaurants. Port Grimaud: Known as the "Venice of Provence," with picturesque canals. Îles de Lérins: Tranquil anchorages and crystal-clear waters. La Reserve Gayrard: A secluded cove, ideal for a private swim. For dining, I recommend Le Maiva for fresh seafood right on the water, and Le 44 for an elegant dinner with a view. Activities & Unmissable Spots From Les Issambres, set a course for Cap Taillat for snorkeling, or cruise west to Cannes for a taste of glamour. Don’t miss a Pampelonne—drop anchor and enjoy the view with a glass of rosé. For a quiet day, anchor off Île Sainte-Marguerite, explore the old fort, and picnic on board. Why I Chose the VQ40 I wanted a yacht that balanced exhilarating performance with understated elegance. The VQ40 delivers both, with its bold lines and reliable engineering. It’s more than a boat—it’s a lifestyle upgrade, perfect for the Riviera’s blend of excitement and relaxation. Home Harbour The Vanquish 40 is moored at Port des Issambres, offering easy access to the region’s best destinations. Anecdote One memorable afternoon, my daughter and I set out to film dolphins off Cap Camarat. We didn’t find dolphins, but we did end up sharing a magical sunset, drifting quietly as the coastline glowed gold—a reminder that sometimes, the best adventures are the unexpected ones.
