How was 2024 for us? Impossible to describe in one word, it was certainly a great, active year filled with international and domestic events and plenty of good people. Here a the highlights of Virtue Yachts’ year.
Goodbye 2024
As we count the days to Boot Düsseldorf 2025, let’s remember how exciting the past year has been. 2024, according to the Chinese calendar, was the year of the Wood Dragon, abounding in good fortune, wisdom and strength, and also full of new opportunities.
2024 brought good things to the Virtue brand – we established new partnerships, there was considerable excitement about our boats, winning awards and even revealing some information about the latest model, which we have been working on intensively for some time.
For a bespoke custom manufacturer, we felt this was a very good result. Without resting on our laurels and looking to build on these successes in 2025, we have set ambitious goals.
Virtue Yachts milestones in 2024
But before we talk about plans, let’s take stock of what happened for us in 2024.
- We premiered Virtue V10 Open at Boot Düsseldorf in January 2024. None could have guessed how much would be achieved, yet it turned out to be just the beginning of our successes.
- In summer, our Virtue V10 won the prestigious Gdynia Polboat Award 2024 in the category of motor yachts up to 10 meters. A proud moment.
- For the rest of the summer we worked towards the launch of our next model and in September we were able to release a press release for the new boat – the V10 Cabin, the first all-season boat in our range.
- But the surprises didn’t end there! At the Monaco Yacht Show in September, it was annonced that Virtue Yachts joined the elite group of three official tender partners of Fraser Yachts. From now on, our boats will serve as exclusive tender boats for superyachts from this legendary brand.
- Autumn brought further accolades: a nomination for the V10 model for the Best of Boats 2024 award in the Best Performance category.
- The second honor was a nomination for the prestigious Motor Boat Awards 2025 in the category of best sports boat of the year. The results will be announced on January 21, keep your fingers crossed!
- Over the course of this remarkable year, our boats have been featured at more than 25 of the most prestigious boat shows – from sunny Palma de Mallorca, exclusive Cannes and iconic Southampton.
- Reviews of Virtue boats over the past year have appeared in various media (online posts, print press and YouTube reviews): A Life More Boaty, Turkey’s Motor Boat magazine, Bateaux magazine, Powerboat and RIB channel on You Tube, Swedish portal and app Skippo, Penntastica Boating and Travel channel on You Tube.
- The Virtue V10 has graced the covers of international magazines, including Club Marine and MORE, and enthusiastic reviews have appeared in major trade media such as Boote and Motorboat and Yachting Magazine.
- 2024 also saw the first articles about the new V10 Cabin in the Norwegian magazine Batmagasinet and the Swedish website Skippo.
So a lot went on for our brand this year. 2025? Well, get ready, this is just the beginning of the journey.
