Aston Martin Fort Lauderdale partners with Denison Yachting and Bannenberg & Rowell Design to bring Q by Aston Martin personalization to the bespoke Above & Beyond Vanquish collection
Aston Martin Fort Lauderdale, part of Holman Motorcars Fort Lauderdale, in collaboration with the brand’s bespoke service Q by Aston Martin, Denison Yachting and legendary yacht designers Bannenberg & Rowell Design, today revealed a striking new two-car collection at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The bespoke series, titled Above & Beyond, captures the spirit of the ocean through the elegance of Aston Martin design, with two one-of-one commissions of Aston Martin’s flagship V12 Vanquish, with a Coupe named Above and a Volante named Beyond.
Conceived as a seamless link between land and sea, Above & Beyond draws direct inspiration from Bannenberg & Rowell’s two forthcoming Turquoise Yachts of the same names. Just as those vessels celebrate journeys without limits, these two Vanquishes reinterpret the yachting lifestyle through every detail of their craftsmanship and finish.
Both the Vanquish coupe and Vanquish Volante exteriors are finished in Lightning Silver, a color chosen for its subtle blue reflection in direct sunlight, and a nod to the shimmering metallic reflections seen on yacht hulls. The lower body is defined by gloss blue-tinted carbon fiber, split by a bespoke Lightning Silver pinstripe that emulates the “boot-stripes” of a yacht’s hull. Further marine cues include a subtle graphic on the mirror caps – the driver-side mirror features a red stripe while the passenger-side mirror’s is green, in reference to port and starboard navigation lights. Exclusive chrome side strakes with gloss black V12 badging, Scintilla Silver thermos louvres, and meticulously integrated fender infills reinforce the purity of the exterior lines while amplifying the vehicles’ presence in the same way that polished deck hardware enhances the profile of a yacht.
Inside, the cabins evoke the openness and flow of life on the water. Glacier White leather is paired with V-shaped quilting, which extends across the doors and center armrest, a detail reminiscent of bespoke yacht upholstery. Pattern stitching, inspired by the bow waves formed at speed, flows across the seating surfaces, while satin and gloss blue-tinted carbon fiber trim evokes lightness and echoes the layered contrasts of contemporary yacht interiors. Bespoke sill plaques, adorned with the partner logos, confirm each car’s unique provenance.
This collection builds on a four-year relationship between Denison Yachting and Holman Motorcars, which has seen Aston Martin Fort Lauderdale and its yachting partners create a series of memorable showcases at the world’s largest in-water event. Recognizing the natural connection between Aston Martin owners and yacht enthusiasts, the partners pursued their first co-curated, yacht-inspired capsule collection—brought to life with the artistry of Q by Aston Martin and Bannenberg & Rowell.
