Virtue Yachts appoints dealer in the UK and Ireland

Polish boat builder Virtue Yachts has appointed S6 Marine exclusive dealer for UK and Ireland.

Virtue says that S6, which is based in London and the UK south coast, was a ‘natural choice’ to be the sole distributor of Virtue’s luxury day boats in the UK and Ireland.

As ‘Virtue Yachts UK’, the brand — creator of the sporty 33-foot V10 day-boat — joins the S6 Marine portfolio alongside shipyards including Moon Yachts, Cosmopolitan Yachts, CNB and Y-Yachts’ new yacht sales.

The premier of the V10 in the UK will be at the South Coast and Green Tech Boat Show (19-21 April 2024) in Southampton, and the boat will also showcase at the British Motor Yacht Show in Swanwick in May and the Southampton Boat Show in September.

“With an enviable top speed of over 50 knots, the V10 offers speed and luxury but also overnight accommodation and amenities for those who want to extend the day into the night,” says Matt Abbiss, CEO of S6 Marine.

“It fits well with our sailing yacht portfolio and will appeal both to British owners with a property overseas and those in the UK looking for a fast, stylish day boat to add to the enjoyment of their spare time.

“In the bow is a full cabin that comes standard equipped with a fairly wide double bed, a wardrobe, lockers, and a bathroom with toilet and shower. Virtue Yachts are created by people with a deep passion for yachting. Their engineering team has many years of expertise in yacht production.”

“We aim to bring something for everyone, so it was important for us to diversify our yacht portfolio to include a luxury day boat which is when Virtue Yachts UK was born,” says Abbiss. “Virtue compliments [our existing] range perfectly, and we are delighted to be able to bring them to a UK audience.”
