VETUS PQ52 A2 Stainless Steel Porthole | CE Area II Certified

Elevate the functionality and aesthetics of your vessel with the VETUS PQ52 A2 Porthole, a premium component designed for the discerning boat owner. As a crucial part of our Deck equipment collection, this porthole is engineered to deliver exceptional durability, style, and safety. The VETUS PQ52 is CE marked for Area II, signifying its robust construction is suitable for installation on the deck and superstructure of ocean-going vessels, providing you with the utmost confidence in its performance even in challenging marine conditions.

Unmatched Durability and Timeless Style

The core of the VETUS PQ52´s design is its high-sheen, hand-polished stainless steel frame. This premium material not only provides a stunning, classic marine look but also offers superior resistance to corrosion and the harsh saltwater environment, ensuring a long-lasting, pristine appearance with minimal maintenance. This porthole is built to withstand the elements and retain its beauty for years to come. The sleek, round design integrates seamlessly into the lines of any modern or traditional boat, making it a perfect upgrade for both new builds and refits.

Superior Functionality and Comfort

Experience the perfect balance of natural light and privacy with the 8mm thick, “smoke” coloured acrylic opening pane. This specially tinted pane allows ample daylight to illuminate your cabin while reducing solar glare and providing a degree of privacy from the outside. More importantly, it helps protect your interior upholstery and woodwork from the damaging effects of UV rays.

For enhanced comfort below deck, the VETUS PQ52 porthole comes with a mosquito screen as a standard feature. This allows you to enjoy refreshing sea breezes and excellent ventilation without the nuisance of insects, making for more pleasant evenings at anchor or in the marina. The porthole features high-quality friction hinges, allowing the pane to be held open securely at any angle for precise control over airflow. Installation is made significantly easier and more professional thanks to the included stainless steel counter flange, which ensures a clean, watertight seal against the hull or cabin side.
