Virtue Yachts Unveils the V14: A Bold Challenger in Luxury Tenders & Sports Cruisers

Well ahead of the game, Virtue Yachts have informed PBR that they will be making a striking debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 with the world premiere of the Virtue V14 HT (Hard Top). Designed by the renowned Guido de Groot, the V14 signals Virtue’s confident entry into the luxury tender and sports cruiser market, taking aim at rivals such as Vanquish, Pardo, Delta and Fjord.

Blending Italian elegance with Scandinavian engineering, the V14 delivers the looks and performance of a premium yacht at a competitive entry point, starting from €640,000 (VAT 0%). Building on the success of the Virtue V10, the new model employs the same Petestep® twin-stepped hull, offering exhilarating handling, exceptional fuel efficiency and stability even in challenging seas.

Standard power comes from twin Mercury V10 400 hp engines, with options for 2 x 600 hp or 3 x 400 hp configurations. A racing edition is also in development. With a top speed exceeding 50 knots, the V14 promises a driving experience that few boats in its class can equal.

The V14’s four-metre beam allows for a remarkably spacious deck layout. A generous U-shaped sofa and dining area, a fully equipped wetbar, and multiple sunbathing zones embody the spirit of Mediterranean leisure. Below deck, two cabins provide accommodation for four, featuring a 200 x 210 cm forward master bed and flexible aft twins that convert to a double.

Owners benefit from thoughtful touches including a dedicated Seabob garage, 2x2x2m aft storage, and semi-custom interior finishes to suit individual style preferences.

Virtue equips the V14 with a premium suite of features, including a Garmin 16” multifunction chartplotter, bow thruster, retracting anchor, electric terrace, and a 900L fuel tank. Optional extras include Seakeeper stabilisation, air conditioning, lithium batteries, and Garmin 360° cameras.
