Redefining Bluewater Excellence Through Innovation
Founded in Italy, ICE Yachts has cemented its reputation as a pioneer in high-performance luxury sailing yachts, combining avant-garde design with cutting-edge naval engineering. The brand’s latest flagship, the ICE 80 Blue Water Sport, exemplifies its commitment to pushing maritime boundaries while honoring Italian craftsmanship.
Core Innovations
- Collaborative Design:
Developed in partnership with Felci Yacht Design, the ICE 80 integrates modern aesthetics with hydrodynamic efficiency. The hull’s optimized lines and carbon-fiber construction ensure exceptional speed and stability, achieving peak performance for its class. - Advanced Materials:
The yacht’s hull, deck, and structural components are entirely carbon-fiber, fabricated using vacuum infusion technology. This method reduces weight while maximizing strength, enabling superior sailing dynamics and durability. - Functional Luxury:
- Dual Helm Stations: Separates crew operations from guest areas, enhancing safety and comfort during navigation.
- Spacious Layout: Features a master suite, two guest cabins, and a dedicated crew zone with independent access. The aft garage accommodates a 3.5-meter tender, while the teak-lined swim platform adds recreational versatility.
- Italian Craftsmanship:
Built at ICE Yachts’ historic shipyard in Salviola, Italy, each vessel undergoes rigorous quality control. The brand’s “Made in Italy” ethos ensures meticulous attention to detail, from hand-finished interiors to precision-engineered rigging systems.
Sustainability & Vision
While explicit eco-initiatives are not detailed, ICE Yachts’ focus on lightweight materials and efficient construction inherently reduces environmental impact. CEO Marco Malgara emphasizes the ICE 80 as a “sailing masterpiece” that redefines luxury through a blend of performance, elegance, and innovation.
