Virtue V14 Hardtop set for late-2026 debut

Virtue Yachts’ latest model, the V14 Hardtop, channels Dutch design genius through Guido de Groot’s sharp, modern lines. Distributed in Australasia by Carbon Yachts, this limited-edition dayboat combines performance and refinement with smart space use, a Petestep® hull, and over 50 knots of capability. Each V14 is custom built — a true expression of individuality and precision on the water.

Carbon Yachts, the exclusive distributor for Virtue Yachts in Australia and New Zealand, is proud to announce the forthcoming Virtue V14 Hardtop (HT) — a new dayboat that captures Virtue’s spirit of design purity, precision, and purpose on the water.

Designed by Dutch yacht designer Guido de Groot, known for his acclaimed work with Vanquish Yachts, the V14 combines strong, confident lines with an intelligent approach to space. Expansive lounging areas flow aft to a wide side transom platform that extends the living area to the water’s edge. Beneath it, a concealed dinghy garage adds utility without disturbing the boat’s seamless aesthetic.

Below deck, the V14 is designed for versatile use, equally at ease hosting guests or enabling comfortable overnight stays. The saloon serves as a relaxed lounge and dining space that converts into an oversized double berth, complemented by a separate aft cabin with twin singles. A private head and considered galley complete the arrangement.

Virtue’s international reputation continues to build, following back-to-back Best of Boats Award nominations for the V10 T-Top in the Performance category and the V10 Cabin in the Adventure category. The new V14 evolves that same DNA — a bespoke, premium dayboat that delivers precision handling, refined design, and a sense of exclusivity that defines the Virtue name. With its advanced Petestep® hull delivering stability and efficiency, and powerful outboard options capable of over 50 knots, the V14 is designed to be as composed at rest as it is exhilarating underway.

Production will be deliberately limited, reinforcing Virtue’s commitment to craftsmanship and individuality. Each boat will be tailored to its owner — a reflection of personal taste and intent.

“Virtue is unique in that every new model is shaped not only by its designers, but by feedback from all stakeholders” said Peter Hrones. “The V14 is the result of detailed feedback from their dealers, V10 owners, and prospective V14 buyers — a truly bespoke creation that reflects what today’s dayboat owners are asking for”.
