About us

Vector ProBoat specializes in the construction of aluminium, extremely seaworthy, high-performance craft. We offer a unique combination of rugged and durable workboat finish on an agile deep-V hull for outstanding performance and handling.

If you are looking for a fast, robust and durable powerboat – you are in the right place.

Vision

To market boats with extreme requirements on quality, endurance and low maintenance cost, towards the recreational as well as the professional user.

Rough sea capabilities above normal will ensure safe riding in weather conditions where most boats stay in the docks.

An ergonomically designed helms position should enable safe boat handling and communicate the thrill of using the boat capabilities to their maximum.

The Vector models will unite extreme rough sea capabilities of a high-performance craft with professional-grade installations and finish to a powerboat that demands a minimum of time and money in maintenance.

Design

Vector boats are designed by Petter Håkanson, one of Sweden’s most renowned designers of fast aluminum boats for professional use.

Petter’s designs have had national and international success mainly through Docksta Shipyards’ export of patrol and combat boats. Experience and expertise in fast water jet propulsion crafts have made Petter an authority in the industry.

Vector design puts the focus on 3 basic properties: Rough sea capabilities, Helm environment, and Boat speed.

Preferably the boats should be built in aluminum. Aluminum is maintenance-free, strong, and lightweight.

Boat speed

Vector boats are designed for speeds in excess of 50 knots. But what is more interesting is the ability to maintain a high cruising speed also in adverse weather conditions.

Helm environment

Vector design prioritizes the helms position, as sitting or standing in the working environment is key to experience the boat capabilities. Designed to offer easy access to controls, body support and generous panels for fitting of navigation equipment.

The optional forward cabin is fitted with a full-length V-berth for overnight trips, or as a large dry stowage for day trips.

Rough sea capabilities

We aim to build the best fast transport boats there is, and the key is in our hull design. A comparatively narrow, deep V hull will give its crew a smoother ride. Our Vector 100 hull is long and sleek with a 24-degree deadrise.

A full-bodied bow provides extra displacement and safety in rough conditions. The topsides are designed to deflect sea spray and keep the crew dry.

Why vector?

Vector ProBoat crafts have exceptional handling characteristics and offer reliable, high performance for fast transport, island commuting, and capabilities for extended season use.

The long, sleek deep V-hull design offers outstanding rough sea capabilities and in addition to the sterndrive or outboard alternatives, the Vector boats are also designed for water jet propulsion.

Several European government agencies/ marine police have put their trust in Vector patrol boats. We build boats with great flexibility and many opportunities for customization of your needs. Hulls and structural components including mechanical and electrical systems are designed to last with professional-grade installations for exceptional durability in rough seas and Nordic weather conditions.
