Carbon Yachts, the exclusive distributor of Virtue Yachts in Australia and New Zealand, is thrilled to announce the launch of the Virtue V10 Cabin, the next exciting evolution in the V10 series. Following the success of the Virtue V10 T-Top, this new model offers a versatile, all-weather vessel designed for year-round freedom on the water.
Scheduled to debut at boot Düsseldorf 2025, the Virtue V10 Cabin promises to capture attention with its advanced design and versatility. This premium vessel is perfect for tropical climates and cooler waters, making it ideal for adventurers across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. The launch of the V10 Cabin follows the widespread acclaim of the V10 T-Top, which set a high standard in performance and innovation. Notably, the Virtue V10 T-Top is one of only four boats listed as a finalist for the Best of Boats Award in the
'Best Performance Boat of 2024' category, with the winner soon to be announced.
The design process for the Virtue V10 Cabin has been a collaborative effort. Critical feedback from Peter and Chris Hrones of Carbon Yachts ensured the boat was perfectly suited for Australian waters, while Dominic Lowe, Carbon Yachts' agent for New Zealand, provided valuable insights for tailoring the model to meet the specific needs of New Zealand boaters. Their contributions ensured that the V10 Cabin would offer the best possible experience for local customers, designed to meet the distinct demands of these diverse regions.
Reflecting Virtue's high standards of craftsmanship, the V10 Cabin is built upon Swedish Petestep hull technology, ensuring superior fuel efficiency and smooth handling. The boat's spacious layout includes a generous 1.95-meter cabin height and sleeping accommodations for up to four people, making it ideal for extended trips. Both the front and main cabins are equipped with air conditioning and heating, ensuring the V10 Cabin is ready for all weather conditions—from sun-drenched coastlines to cooler, more rugged waters.
Compared to its predecessor, the V10 T-Top, the Cabin model offers even more versatility. It features roof racks for paddleboards, surfboards, or even bikes for island exploration. Optional extras, such as a Webasto sliding glass roof hatch, enhance the overall comfort and adaptability of the vessel, making it ideal for year-round cruising.
Each Virtue V10 Cabin is custom-built to order, ensuring exclusivity and impeccable attention to detail. The design process has been carefully measured, reflecting the brand's commitment to quality over mass production. Chris Hrones, Managing Director of Carbon Yachts, shared his thoughts on the development:
"What we really take comfort in is Virtue's approach of not rushing out new models. Instead, they take their time to assess market trends and feedback, working closely with their dealers to refine the model. We've had some intense but highly constructive video calls, and the result speaks for itself—a boat that will be perfectly suited to our region and delivers the quality that Virtue is becoming known for. We look forward to sharing some interior renderings and images soon. The moment we can show the world the interior design, I believe our customers will be just as excited as we are."
While the V10 Cabin represents a significant milestone for Virtue, the brand is already planning the next step, considering a larger model. Virtue Yachts continues to innovate at a steady, thoughtful pace, ensuring each model not only meets but exceeds customer expectations. Carbon Yachts is proud to bring these world-class vessels to the Australian and New Zealand markets, perfectly adapted to the unique boating conditions of the region.
