VisionF is best known for building cool and colorful catamarans for casual cruising, but the Turkish shipyard appears to be capable of creating outrageous speed machines, too.
The latest addition to the VisionF fleet is a 46-foot speedboat capable of reaching a staggering 80 knots (92 mph) at full tilt. Aptly christened the Superfast 46, the newcomer showcases a sleek, aerodynamic profile that sets it apart from the existing cats in the VisionF fleet. The svelte speedster is the antithesis of a hulking multihull, marking a clear departure from the VisionF design DNA.
The hull of the Superfast 46 was built using advanced composite construction techniques, including infusion and vacuum bagging with multi-axial carbon fiber materials, to ensure it is both lightweight and strong. This means the vessel can cut through the water with ease, achieving what VisionX says is “unmatched handling at high speeds.”
The speedboat is powered by a pair of Mercury 450 HP Racing Sportmaster engines.

The boat is equipped with a pair of Mercury Racing Sportsmaster engines rated at 450 hp and 600-liter fuel tanks that together enable roughly two hours of adrenaline-fueled cruising, according to the yard. Seafarers can also choose between precision hydraulic steering or a Mercury Joystick Piloting (JPO) system to control the speed machine. Other sporty touches include a carbon-fiber spoiler, a high-gloss paint job, and pop-up Perko navigation lights.
“It’s powerful, provocative, and purpose-built for enthusiasts who crave speed without compromise,” the yard said in a statement. “This is VisionF like nobody has seen before.”
The 46-footer has a top speed of 92 mph.

With a beam of 12 feet, the Superfast 46 offers a generous interior. The specially designed shock-absorbing seats are covered in high-quality upholstery, while the custom carbon dashboard shows a 19-inch Garmin display and a Silva 85E compass. To top it off, a marine-grade Fusion Apollo sound system comprising four speakers, a subwoofer, and an MS-RA770 stereo means you can blast your favorite tunes at sea. You’ll also have a dedicated storage area for fenders, a cooler, and batteries.
VisionF currently has eight different models in production, including two fully-electric catamarans measuring 62 and 80 feet, four aluminum cats ranging from 80 to 120 feet, one 155-foot multihull, and, of course, the Superfast 46. The first Superfast 46 is nearing completion, with the debut scheduled for the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival. You can check out the speedboat at the festival from September 9 to 14.
