And the entertainment requests are most certainly approved on the VQ115 Veloce, as she features lots of space on her aft for a large tender bay that will house a VQ16. Another tender in the form of a VQ11 waterscooter will be housed in a second garage on the starboard side. This area will double as a leisure playground with a live bait tank, paddleboards, sea bobs and other toys. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/219781/image/large-07c62bf341ecb3ee9b17ce350d47278c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/219781"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/219775/image/large-3852130c5b77ae3ce017baf8016e4587.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/219775"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/219783/image/large-0696ebfcfb65062693af7afa335bbc43.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/219783">The expansive foredeck has a large seating area for lounging and dining, plus the option to lift up the sun beds and create a saltwater jacuzzi. There is a wealth of relaxation options on the aft deck too while the flybridge has a dedicated sunbathing area as well as its own helm station.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/219767/image/large-0add7747f1a24777b0c66ae274a1c863.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/219767">The VQ115 Veloce is due to be delivered in the Hamptons, US, in 2022, with talks underway for further models in this striking new line for other clients seeking to enjoy the same amount of interior space. In addition to customising the interior and exterior facilities to their personal preferences, owners who appreciate the design but prefer not to go so extremely fast can adapt their engine configuration accordingly.

24m VQ80 Sportfish chase boat ordered for 60m project SkyFall

The superyacht industry may be small to some, but it is filled with a range of experts and professionals from around the world. In this series, we shine a light on some of the specialists working within the different segments of the industry to learn more about what they do for the sector. In nearly 20 years, Studio Delta have developed an impressive portfolio which features technical designs with a scope of consultancy projects for yachts ranging 30-100-metres and above.&nbsp;Conducting business from their studio in the Netherlands, Director of Studio Delta and Naval Architect, Menno van Dijk, takes the time to speak with us about the past, present and future of their internationally recognised services.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/45551/image/large-f08b8a7c941486c3bfdc99e80a318df1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/45551">You are the managing director at Studio Delta. How did you get into the yachting industry and how did you end up managing the current team of naval architects and engineers at Studio Delta? As a student, I had no idea which part of the industry I wanted to end up in. I just wanted to become a Naval Architect. After my studies, my first jobs were mainly in commercial shipbuilding - but in one job, in particular, I was able to work in the office and also engineer superyachts for a yard in the north of Holland.I gained some useful experience in the yachting industry and wanted to operate independently. In 1999, I started with my first client. From then on, the company grew and 20 years later here we are, managing a team of naval architects working in the yachting industry. Building this company over the last 20 years has placed us in a position of international recognition for technical craftsmanship and reliability - and is exactly where we want to remain in the future.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/36549/image/large-2b3343d972df53167fb1c5e1d8bfe292.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36549">How has Studio Delta evolved over the years since it was founded? 20 years ago we just had gone from paper drawings to digital. 3D stations were nothing less than sizeable bridge control units. Fortunately, the majority of supporting software is available for optimisation and the step to 3D is much leaner, but software and hardware often remain a costly bottleneck.All technical developments aside, water is still water, waves are still waves… Which people sometimes forget, especially when processes become much more important than common sense and practical knowledge. We see this in our behind the scenes contribution to the 60-metre and above superyacht market, as well as in the solid portfolio of highly technical projects in tenders and fast yachts. We try to remain focused on those core assets and let processes be an aid and not a means to an end. But surely we have been developing our core assets together with production efficiency implementing an integral design philosophy with the aid of 3D and other CAD tools.Studio Delta also provides consultancy services for new builds and refit projects. What are some of the challenges Studio Delta has faced in the past concerning superyacht refits and how did you overcome them? Refits are fantastic! With older vessels, the challenges lie when there is a lack of information or contradicting information in ships with paper archives. In the old days, the foreman had his own way to go about the build of a yacht, which for us means that you should not trust what you have not measured yourself! But it also allows for some extra creativity. Usually, these older ships are pretty sturdy and over-designed, so they allow for nice reengineering. However, some of these ships were more slender, and so modern stability requirements may cross-out refit plans.In modern yachts, there are much fewer challenges, but the refit demands are often much higher since there are so many options. Solutions are much more technical and analyzed based, but still very creative.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/36550/image/large-42da7d46d25c232170b1df8e1f67878d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36550">Studio Delta has supported Blue Marine Foundation since 2015 and is one of the first naval architecture companies to acknowledge their responsibility towards ocean preservation. How important is sustainability and environmental protection to Studio Delta?&nbsp; We are very proud to be one of the forerunners in supporting Blue. Their work is so important and they work very hard to turn fragile parts of the oceans into sanctuaries. It is also because of their efforts that many owners are becoming more and more aware of the importance of a healthy ocean. Studio Delta lives off the fact that being on the water has such an appeal to people and is &nbsp;vital to our planet in so many ways - because of this we investigated the value of Blue and it did not take long for us to decide to support them.What does Studio Delta have planned for the future? We recently made a big step moving into our new offices overlooking the North Sea. From there we will continue to develop our core values, but we have no interest in becoming a large company. We are the flexible business partner and our knowledge and experience are combined with customer care.&nbsp;&nbsp;

5 Questions with... Menno van Dijk from Studio Delta

Designed in collaboration with the renowned Guido de Groot, Studio Delta and Wester Naval Architecture, the 14.6-metre VQ48 tender from Dutch brand Vanquish Yachts has an aesthetic that will certainly appeal to car lovers around the world. With the first two in the series delivered last summer to happy customers in both St Tropez and Ibiza, the company states that the introduction of the model has been an unprecedented success - and it’s not difficult to see why.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165257/image/large-c007f900f3fc5f7f680050eacdc395c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165257">

The development of the VQ48 came after careful consultation with current Vanquish owners, who concluded that what they were really looking for was a blend of the best features of the brand’s VQ43 and VQ50 models. Some of the key features noted were a smaller foredeck version of the VQ50’s dinette and the popular sun beds found on the VQ43. Other design highlights are the two specially developed helm seats, a large lounge sofa and an ingenious convertible top which dispenses with the traditional tubes and braces normally seen on biminis.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165258/image/large-b9594fdf0f34f4124352cc35d1042aea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165258">

VQ48 owners can make optimal use of the enormous flexibility offered by Vanquish Yachts, allowing each and every client to create something in aluminium that truly suits their particular idea of boating pleasure. From day one, space for socialising and parties has been central to the design of the VQ48, with 19 seating places as standard. This will make this particular VQ48 a practical and much loved charter boat for owners.

As with all Vanquish models, the VQ48 sets itself apart through its low weight, leading to exceptional manoeuvrability, super-fast acceleration, low fuel consumption and an impressive top speed of well over 40 knots. The model is also available in a VQ48 Veloce version, with an even more impressive top speed exceeding 50 knots.
