Ice Yachts has started the construction of the first ICE 80 Blue Water Sport yacht, which will become the new flagship of the shipyard. This marks Ice Yachts' debut in the large luxury sailing yacht market, combining outstanding performance, unmatched comfort, and exclusive design to elevate the Italian brand to new heights in the yachting industry.
The Exceptional Collaboration with Felci Yacht Design
The ICE 80 Blue Water Sport is a result of the longstanding partnership between Ice Yachts and Felci Yacht Design studio. This collaboration has produced a series of high-performance designs over the past decade, including the iconic ICE 70 known for its modern lines and advanced technological solutions. This partnership has enabled Ice Yachts to develop a unique approach to yacht construction, fusing creative vision with in-depth technical expertise.
Felci Yacht Design was responsible for all aspects of the ICE 80's design, from naval architecture to structures, layout, interior styling, coachroof, and deck design, while maintaining the distinctive style of yachts born from the Ice Yachts collaboration. Ice Yachts' technical office oversaw the systems engineering and production process to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety.
"I am very proud to create this new project for Ice Yachts," says Umberto Felci. "ICE 80 Blue Water Sport is an extremely advanced and high-performance yacht designed for optimal performance as a fast cruiser. The attention to every aspect of naval architecture, sail plan, and deck equipment, combined with ease of handling, offers the highest performance and safety, making sailing a true pleasure."
The ICE 80 Blue Water Sport emphasizes technological innovation and craftsmanship quality in its construction at the Salvirola shipyard, Ice Yachts' historic headquarters. The yacht is entirely built in Italy, showcasing Ice Yachts' dedication to quality and Italian craftsmanship.
The hull, deck, and structures of the ICE 80 are crafted from carbon using the "one-shot" vacuum infusion technology, ensuring lightness and maximum strength for exceptional performance. This production method sets the ICE 80 apart in the luxury sailing yacht market for its build quality, reliability, and top-tier assembly.
The ICE 80 Blue Water Sport features dual cockpits on the deck, separating the maneuvering area from the guest zone for enhanced safety and comfort. The interiors are designed for maximum comfort, with a spacious salon, owner's cabin, VIP guest cabins, and a separate crew area with all necessary amenities.
Ice Yachts CEO Marco Malgara expressed, "With the ICE 80 Blue Water Sport, Ice Yachts sets a new standard in luxury sailing yachts, combining extraordinary performance, timeless elegance, and advanced technologies. We believe this yacht will redefine luxury sailing yachts and meet the needs of our most discerning clients."
Ice Yachts continues its legacy of innovation, technological research, and craftsmanship with the ICE 80 Blue Water Sport, solidifying its position as a leader in the luxury sailing yacht sector. The construction of this flagship represents a significant milestone for Ice Yachts, maintaining a commitment to excellence throughout the production process.
The delivery of the ICE 80 Blue Water Sport is expected in 2026.
