Virtue Yachts V10e T-Top

The Virtue V10e T-Top replaces the combustion drivetrain with a zero-emission electric system in the same Petestep V10 hull, so the efficiency of that hull does double duty by stretching usable range between charges. Exact range and charging time depend on the battery and drive package specified, which the Carbon Yachts team configures around how and where the boat will actually be run.

The Virtue V10 is built on the patented, Swedish-designed Petestep hull, which actively redirects spray and drag so the ride stays flatter, drier and quieter through chop than a conventional planing hull, while using up to 35 per cent less fuel. It is the feature that most defines how a V10 behaves at speed: planted and composed where other boats pound and slow.

At the push of a button, the Virtue V10's side terraces swing wide and increase the beam by more than 35 per cent, opening the cockpit into a broad deck with the water right at the edge. Dropped at anchor, that space takes a dining setting, a sunbed and a wet bar, which is what turns an afternoon aboard from a stop into the destination.

The Virtue V10e T-Top runs near silent, with no engine noise, vibration or exhaust, so the dominant sensation is the hull moving through the water and the conversation on board rather than the drivetrain. It pairs that quiet with the same fold-out terraces, Petestep ride and hard-top shade as the combustion T-Top, for owners who want the full V10 experience with zero emissions at the dock and underway.

Every Virtue V10 hull is vacuum-infused, drawing resin under negative pressure through dry laminate so the shell comes out measurably lighter and stiffer than a hand-laid equivalent, with carbon trim carried through the boat. It suits owners who care as much about how the boat looks at the dock as how it feels flat out in a chop, whether running solo, out with friends or hosting a full cockpit at anchor.
