2004 Vanquish 24 Runabout

What really sets this 24 Runabout apart is how thoughtfully the space is laid out. The deep, secure cockpit keeps guests feeling tucked in, yet the low profile and open transom make it easy to slip over the side for a swim. High-quality hardware, solid cleats, and robust rub rail show this isn’t just a pretty dayboat—it’s built to be used. The helm has that classic, minimalist look, but with modern gauges and controls right where your hand expects them. Engine access is excellent, so routine checks are painless. The ride is dry and confident, even when afternoon chop kicks up, and the boat tracks straight at idle, making docking feel relaxed instead of stressful.

This 24 Runabout is tailor-made for the mix of open water and protected creeks common in this cruising ground. The moderate draft lets you nose into quiet coves and shallow anchorages, while the efficient hull shape covers longer stretches comfortably when you want to hop between marinas or waterfront restaurants. It’s an easy boat to keep on a lift or at a small slip, yet still has the presence and style of a much larger classic. With quick, predictable handling at low speeds, it’s well-suited to narrow fairways and current, and the open layout makes sunset harbor cruises with family and friends feel like an occasion every time you cast off.
