There is something fitting in the name. Enchante is a Vanquish 45 Open built for the particular pleasures of a St Tropez day, where the coast rewards a boat that is quick, elegant and easy to be aboard. She is a high-performance day cruiser in the truest sense, pairing genuine speed with the comfort to enjoy it, and she reads the Riviera as though she were made for it. The deck is open and generous, arranged so that up to sixteen guests can share the day without anyone feeling short of space. There is room to lounge in the sun, gather for a drink and step down to the water when the anchor drops. With a top speed of forty-two knots, the run between the beach clubs and the quiet coves passes in moments, leaving more of the day for the part that matters, the swimming and the long lunch and the slow return in the late light. A single crew member looks after the details so the day stays effortless. Jet skis and snorkelling gear are aboard for anyone drawn beyond the swim platform. At fourteen metres she is nimble and responsive under way, the kind of boat that flatters the coastline it explores. Sleek without shouting about it, she lets the setting do the talking. Where would a day of your own take you along this stretch of the Riviera?
