2013 Lanzarote Custom M/Y Veloce: Vessel Overview

The 74-foot Lanzarote Custom motor yacht Veloce, located in Fort Lauderdale, is a performance-oriented semi-displacement yacht built in 2013 that blends speed and liveaboard systems upgrades. Twin MAN V8-1200 engines with under 1,100 hours and ZF 4000 pod drives deliver a top speed of 32 knots while a Seakeeper 18 provides offshore stabilization; hull and deck employ Core-Cell laminated fiberglass with vinylester gelcoat and a recent fresh hull paint job tops off the exterior maintenance. Notable systems upgrades include a $100K Victron 8kW inverter and lithium house battery conversion, dual DC alternators for reduced generator run time, and extensive electronics and communications refits that make Veloce equally capable for fast coastal runs or extended cruising with modern comfort.

Luxury Interior Layouts and Accommodations Breakdown

The full-beam salon flows from the aft deck forward to the helm, with large side windows, automatic stainless sliding doors and abundant natural light framing leather seating, two upholstered chairs and an L-shaped couch centered around a flat-panel TV and boat-wide Bose surround sound; walnut flooring and stone countertops continue through the on-deck galley. The galley to port is fitted with Miele appliances—three-burner cooktop, oven, ventilation hood, dishwasher—and a Subzero refrigerator with twin drawer freezers plus a wine cooler and dining settee to starboard. Accommodation includes a forward master with a custom king, cedar-lined closets and ensuite with glass shower, two aft VIP queen staterooms each with ensuite heads and glass showers, and a versatile fourth cabin (converted office/bunk room) with two singles and one double—well suited for children or additional crew—while a day head sits adjacent to the main helm.

Performance, Propulsion and Major System Upgrades

Veloce’s propulsion foundation is the twin MAN V8-1200 package driving ZF pod drives and supported by Humphree trim tab controls and a Seakeeper 18 for seakeeping and comfort; propulsion spares and upgrades have been a priority, with four spare props in crates, two new ZF pods, two driveshafts, spare steering pumps and a new transmission included. Electrical resilience is enhanced with a 40 kW Onan generator, auto-transfer generator start, Victron 8000 inverter system and lithium house batteries, Victron 100 amp backup charger, and high-amperage alternators to minimize generator dependency. Routine and safety systems in the engine room include Racor filters, a Halon fixed fire system, extensive ventilation and a Fecteau watermaker to support extended trips.

Advanced Electronics, Communications and Navigation

Navigation and bridge systems have been modernized around Garmin and Boening platforms: multiple Garmin 8617 touchscreen chartplotters and GMI20 displays, a new 6-foot Garmin radar array, upgraded Garmin autopilot with remote and HDMI integration to three salon TVs, two Icom radios with new antennas and a KVH satellite system II. Connectivity was addressed boat-wide with a new whole-boat WiFi system, Cradlepoint booster, built-in sat phone and wireless handsets that work throughout the yacht, plus new DirectTV antenna/receiver and Apple TV on all new televisions—making the vessel practical for both coastal trips and remote communications without constant antenna access.

Exterior Decks, Flybridge Amenities and Tender Storage

The flybridge and exterior areas are set up for entertaining and active use: a powered watertight sunroof, enclosure added in 2020, carpeted upper deck, new live-edge wood tables fore and aft, pizza oven, stainless grill, refrigerator replaced in 2022 and wraparound seating with new teak chairs. Shade solutions include a powered aft-deck shade and a rear upper-deck shade with carbon-fiber poles; underwater and exterior LED lighting have been upgraded with Lumishore fixtures and coordinated blue/white accents. Practical features include a tender garage with winch and Arietx hydraulic swim platform/garage door, stainless-steel jet ski cradles and rollers sized for two watercraft, and a Seadoo Waverunner included, while anchoring is handled by a Maxwell VWCLP4000 windlass, 140 lb Bruce anchor and 400′ of 7/16″ HT chain.

Key Highlights, Spare Parts Inventory and Next Steps

Veloce stands out for its combination of strong performance (32-knot top end), comprehensive modern electronics and communications, substantial electrical upgrades (Victron inverter and lithium conversion), Seakeeper stabilization and a deep inventory of spare parts that reduce downtime risk—spares include four props, two new ZF pods, driveshafts, spare steering pumps, spare ZF joystick and multiple ZF controllers plus all Cam wires for the ZF system. Cosmetic and comfort improvements such as fresh hull paint, ceramic coating on windows, new carpeting, new TVs with Apple TV/DirectTV, upgraded underwater lighting and refreshed seating make her turnkey for owners seeking a fast, well-maintained platform for family cruising or regional passagemaking.
