Virtue Yachts Unveils Limited-Edition V10 Top in British Racing Green at boot Düsseldorf
The special edition V10 Top combines Virtue’s efficient, performance-optimised hull with a classic British racing green finish. Its advanced hull technology reduces drag for faster acceleration, smoother cruising, and a quieter ride. With up to 600 horsepower, the V10 Top reaches speeds of 60 knots (109 km/h), delivering race-boat excitement alongside everyday comfort and style.
At 10 metres (just under 33 feet), the Virtue V10 is designed for premium day cruising and chartering. Available in three variants, the V10 Top, V10 Cabin and the V10 Open, it offers engines from Mercury. Depending on setup, cruising speeds are around 30 knots, with maximums close to 60 knots. Built for both high-speed driving and social relaxation, the V10 Top features an extended stern platform for more comfort and space.
The deck is versatile, with modular seating, a foldable table, and a fully equipped wet bar including a sink, pull-out tap, refrigerator and provision for a grill or hot plate. The helm features dual plotters, integrated engine controls, and a premium audio system, all within an ergonomic, driver-focused console.
A Growing Partnership with Flexiteek
The British Racing Green showboat also marks the latest milestone in Virtue’s collaboration with Flexiteek, the synthetic teak decking manufacturer. The partnership began in 2024, when selected Virtue models were offered with Flexiteek 2G in a 5 mm thickness. Following extensive testing and dialogue, the two brands moved by the end of 2024 to Flexiteek 2G with a 3M flat-back bonding solution.
Throughout 2025, Virtue and Flexiteek worked closely to develop new, more modern deck designs that better reflected Virtue’s bold, performance-led DNA. By mid-2025, the collaboration progressed further with the introduction of pre-fabricated Flexiteek 3 panels, utilising the latest 3M bonding technology and contemporary CNC-cut styling.
Following its debut at Boot Düsseldorf, Flexiteek is now a standard specification across the Virtue range, including the V10 Top, V10 Open and V10 Cabin, from Cannes 2026 onwards, the flagship V14.
We are very pleased of the agreement we reached during BOOT Düsseldorf. For us to implement Flexiteek as a standard option on all models was an easy decision. We are only working with premium and high-end suppliers; this is what Virtue is known for standing out in quality and features.
Christoffer Olsson Sales Director at VirtuePerformance Meets Sustainability: The Benefits of Flexiteek 3
Flexiteek 3 represents the next generation of synthetic marine decking, where cutting-edge material science meets environmental responsibility and long-term performance. Designed to perform as beautifully as it looks, it redefines what a modern deck can be.
At the heart of Flexiteek 3 is its innovative, bio-attributed PVC, derived from tall oil – a sustainable by-product of forestry. By replacing traditional fossil-fuel-based PVC, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80 per cent during production, while delivering a wood-like grain and texture that is strikingly natural. The result is a deck that is as kind to the environment as it is to the eye.
Weighing just 4.5 kg per square metre, Flexiteek 3 is up to 35 percent lighter than many alternative synthetic decking systems. This reduced weight above the waterline lowers the vessel’s centre of gravity, improving stability, reducing heeling, and enhancing overall performance – a benefit that becomes especially apparent on high-performance powerboats such as the Virtue V10.
Comfort and practicality are just as important as performance. Independent international testing shows that Flexiteek 3 cools up to 30 per cent faster than other composite decks and maintains the lowest surface temperatures of any synthetic PVC decking, rivalling natural teak. UV-stable, weather-resistant, and exceptionally durable, it features vinyl-welded joints rather than glued ones, creating a seamless, stronger finish that can even be re-sanded if required.
Ease of maintenance ensures the deck stays beautiful even as it performs. Dirt and spills can usually be removed with fresh water alone, reducing the need for chemical cleaners, while built-in anti-fungal technology pioneered in 2014 and now standard helps keep decks pristine in every climate, year after year.
Flexiteek 3 is more than just a product; it’s a craft. Every deck is handcrafted to order, offering complete customisation of layout, caulking style, logos, and personalised details, allowing each installation to perfectly reflect the owner’s vision and the unique character of the vessel.
The limited-edition British Racing Green Virtue V10 Top at boot Düsseldorf is more than a showpiece. It represents a shared vision between two brands: to combine cutting-edge performance, Scandinavian-inspired design, and responsible material innovation into a new benchmark for the premium day-boat segment.
Working with Virtue has been a natural partnership. Their focus on performance and innovation aligns with our development of Flexiteek 3. To now be standard across the Virtue range is a testament to the trust between our teams and Flexiteek’s proven performance.
Adam Ramsden CEO at FlexiteekWith a hull capable of exhilarating speeds, a deck designed for both action and relaxation, and next-generation synthetic teak that is lighter, cooler, more sustainable and built to last, the Virtue V10 Top sets the tone for the future direction of both Virtue Yachts and Flexiteek. This momentum is further cemented with the exciting upcoming launch of the Virtue V14, a 46-foot flagship model scheduled to make its world debut at Cannes 2026, fitted with Flexiteek 3.
