A Closer Look Inside Shir
The beauty of Shir lies in Vanquish's mastery of hidden luxury. At first glance, you see clean lines and purposeful design, but look deeper and you'll discover an array of thoughtfully integrated features that elevate the entire experience.
The cockpit showcases Vanquish's genius for hidden functionality. The cooling misting system integrated into the hardtop provides relief on the hottest days, while the top loading fridge in the cockpit table and pull out refrigerator under the sink ensure refreshments are always within reach. Even the garbage storage is cleverly concealed in the table's center column, details that separate Vanquish from the competition.
A variety of seating options and the coverage of a massive fixed roof lend a hand to the excessive security felt while in the VQ58 cockpit.
Hidden refrigeration throughout the cockpit keeps refreshments perfectly chilled and within reach.
And Into The Cabin
Step below deck and you'll discover what truly sets the VQ58 apart from other day boats in this category. The full beam master cabin maximizes every inch of the 16.8 foot beam, creating a space that feels more like a luxury hotel suite than a boat cabin. Natural light floods in from both sides through large hull windows, while the queen bed is positioned to take advantage of the expansive layout.
The full beam master cabin is a masterful use of limited space.
Premium Liebherr refrigeration ensures no shortage of entertainment.
Forward of the master, the bow area is a comfortable day bed, perfect for afternoon relaxation or additional guest accommodation. This isn't just a place to sleep; it's a private retreat that showcases Vanquish's commitment to bringing superyacht level comfort to the day boat segment. Enjoy a premium refrigerator, wine cooler and hideaway glassware storage, a hidden workstation, and plenty of cabinets and general storage.
The cabin supports both overnight dreams and day boat needs.
The hidden fold down office desk transforms any anchorage into a productive workspace.
Technology & Performance
Shir's technology package is nothing short of impressive. The dual 16" Garmin helm screens provide complete vessel control, while the FLIR nightvision camera, radar, and search lights (all painted black and hardtop mounted) enable confident cruising day or night.
Enjoy complete vessel control through integrated Garmin displays at the helm and via the additional screen in the cabin.
“Shir represents everything that makes the VQ58 special. The polished white hull and black hardtop create a striking contrast, while the light blue upholstery adds a calm, sophisticated feel. Beyond the aesthetics, it’s the fundamentals that matter most. Shir is exceptionally well specified, meticulously maintained, and presented in a condition that’s increasingly rare to find. For those familiar with Vanquish, this boat still manages to stand out.”

The aluminum construction provides the solid, quiet ride Vanquish is famous for, with incredible efficiency through IPS power. This isn't just about performance; it's about the confidence that comes from owning a vessel built to superyacht standards.
The fusion of windshield and hardtop excludes passing wind for a quiet cockpit.

The bow of Shir showcases Vanquish's attention to both form and function, creating a space that's as beautiful as it is practical. Seating is not to be overlooked, as the twin bench seats are significantly wider than the competition. But it's what lies beneath that truly impresses: Vanquish's custom submarine anchor system. The entire mechanism is housed within the hull, maintaining the boat's clean lines while providing serious anchoring capability. This level of integration exemplifies Vanquish's philosophy of hiding essential functionality in plain sight.
Generous bow seating creates the perfect space for relaxation and entertaining.
