A presentation for the 88m MCA Superyacht ICE Concept by Blohm + Voss and Michael Leach Design was held on September 21st at the Blohm + Voss stand during the Monaco Yacht Show 2011. Following the successful collaboration and delivery of 96m superyacht Palladium in 2010, Blohm + Voss and Michael Leach Design Ltd (MLD) teamed up once again on the superyacht concept ICE which took about three months to develop and design. The ICE yacht will be MCA compliant, able to accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 cabins.
Mr. Cristian Schwarzwälder, Sales Director Yachts for Blohm + Voss, together with the designers Mick Leach and Mark Smith from Michael Leach Design Ltd unveiled a model of the 88m MCA Yacht Concept.
The 88m MCA ICE Superyacht Concept was developed for the discerning yacht connoisseur who wishes for his yacht to remain under 3,000GT and follow MCA regulations.
Dressed in dynamic and harmonic lines the “BV 88MCA MLD” offers all the ‘must-have’s’ of a modern, state-of-the art superyacht.
In addition to the economical aspects given by a large Motor Yacht complying with the MCA rules instead of SOLAS rules, various technical aspects of the BV 88MCA MLD yacht ICE also have been considered and optimized. Thus enabling Blohm + Voss to offer its worldwide acknowledged ‘made in Germany’ engineering quality and finest yacht building craftsmanship with the exquisite aesthetics of Michael Leach Design.
