IceYachts, the leading shipyard in the high-performance luxury sailing yacht sector, is excited to announce the launch of the ICE56, its new and extraordinary sailboat, designed by Felci Yachts Design. This entirely new project is set to exceed expectations, bringing to the highest level the quality, comfort, and style which are the tradition qualities that has made IceYachts a reference for sportiness and innovation.

The ICE56 takes the best elements from the successful ICE52 model, with 20 units built and appreciated worldwide, and elevates them to new standards of excellence. With a design that retains the shipyard's signature sporty DNA, the ICE56 not only guarantees exceptional sailing performance but also offers unparalleled comfort and construction excellence, typical of larger yachts, like a "small 80-footer."

The exterior design of the ICE56, derived directly from the new 80-foot Maxi Ice, features a sleek, sporty deckhouse with an important new feature: a larger glass surface that provides the interior with exceptional brightness and panoramic views of the horizon. The harmony between elegance and functionality is also evident in the cockpit, which, with its 5-meter maximum beam, offers incredibly spacious areas designed for maximum comfort. The adjustable-height table can easily be transformed into a large sunbathing area, ideal for relaxing moments during navigation.

The interior of the ICE56 is designed to provide the utmost comfort and privacy, with a refined and functional layout. The owner's cabin, located forward, is one of its standout features, offering a spacious and bright area with a generously sized bathroom and a fully separate shower. Every detail has been carefully thought out to ensure the maximum privacy and well-being for the owner.

The large open-space dinette, with a forward galley like the ICE 62 Targa, 66, and 80 models, is ideal for moments of conviviality and relaxation onboard.

In total, the ICE56 features 3 cabins, each with its own dedicated bathroom, ensuring comfortable and intimate accommodation for the owner and guests. Every room is designed to achieve a perfect balance between functionality, luxury, and refined design.

A fourth cabin, completely independent and located in place of the third bathroom, is available upon request, complete with a small dedicated toilet.

At the stern, the tender garage is generously sized and can accommodate a tender up to 3 meters.

"ICE56 is the result of careful research into the evolving needs of the most demanding owners," says Felci Yachts Design. "We wanted to maintain the sportiness and manoeuvrability that distinguish every IceYachts vessel without compromising luxury and construction quality. The ICE56 represents the perfect synthesis of performance and comfort, a new benchmark for those seeking an exclusive and cutting-edge yacht."

The launch of the ICE56 further confirms IceYachts’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the nautical sector, always maintaining high construction quality, refined design, and attention to detail. The ICE56 is already under construction at IceYachts shipyards in both fast cruiser and RACE versions, for sportier owners.
