Aston Martin took the yachting lifestyle onto dry land this week, unveiling a pair of one-off Vanquish models at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The bespoke duo, including the coupe called “Above” and the Volante convertible model “Beyond, is the result of a joint effort by the British sports-car maker, a yacht designer, and a Florida dealership. Built through Aston Martin’s Q personalization program, the two cars reflect the same names as upcoming Turquoise Yachts designed by Bannenberg & Rowell. The idea: express the grace of a yacht hull and the craft of a supercar in matching form. The primary story: Above and Beyond revealed Aston Martin Aston Martin Fort Lauderdale, Denison Yachting, and Bannenberg & Rowell Design worked together to create the Above & Beyond collection, each car a one-of-one commission of the V12 Vanquish. Mirror caps carry red and green stripes as a nod to port and starboard lights, while chrome side strakes and black V12 badging underline the polished look.

Blue-tinted carbon-fiber trim adds lightness and links the two environments. Custom sill plaques mark the partnership among Aston Martin, Denison Yachting, and Bannenberg & Rowell, cementing each car’s provenance. The secondary angle: a partnership built on lifestyle Aston Martin The Fort Lauderdale event marks four years of collaboration between Denison Yachting and Holman Motorcars, which represents Aston Martin Fort Lauderdale. The project also highlights Q by Aston Martin’s growing reach in bespoke design. Representatives from all partners framed Above & Beyond as a meeting of craftsmanship and lifestyle—an extension of the shared appeal between yacht owners and Aston Martin collectors. Aston Martin
