Why Knot
2023
|Motor Yacht
The 35-metre WHY KNOT is a bold, high-performance yacht that redefines expectations within her size category, blending superyacht luxury with the speed and agility of a racing vessel. Built by Vanquish Yachts and designed by Guido de Groot, she stands out for her aggressive styling, lightweight construction, and a clear focus on delivering an exhilarating on-water experience.
Unlike traditional yachts in this range, WHY KNOT is built around a planing aluminium hull and a powerful triple-engine setup, enabling her to reach extraordinary speeds while maintaining stability and control. This performance-driven approach is matched by her shallow draft, allowing access to coastal areas and shallow bays that are typically off-limits to larger, heavier yachts.
Her design is centred on outdoor living, with expansive deck spaces that encourage a relaxed, social atmosphere. From the open aft deck and beach club area to the spacious foredeck and upper deck lounges, the yacht is configured for entertaining, sunbathing, and enjoying life on the water at speed or at anchor.
Inside, WHY KNOT offers a refined yet sporty interior, with accommodation designed for a small group of guests. The layout prioritises comfort and functionality, ensuring that while performance is at the core of the yacht’s identity, it doesn’t come at the expense of onboard livability.
Overall, WHY KNOT is a statement yacht—engineered for owners who want more than just cruising. It’s about speed, freedom, and a dynamic connection to the sea, delivering a unique blend of power, style, and modern yacht design.
