Following a a launch and delivery of the 62.50 m superyacht ICON 62 custom built in 2009, the company is currently working on two new projects, yacht FLORIDA and yacht MIDLANDIA.
ICON Yachts is a relatively new name amongst luxury yacht builders. The company is based in Holland and offers customised superyachts built on a pre-determined, technically optimised and operational platform giving almost endless customisable possibilities. The first yacht built by the Dutch shipyard was luxury yacht Icon 62. The yacht has a large fold-out transom beach terrace with shower, which leads onto an open day-room at the stern. This 62-meters super yacht features design by Redman Whiteley Dixon (RWD). Icon 62 served as a proven platform for Icon yachts to develop larger yachts.
Each of the Icon yachts is built using a same optimised platform. This way the hull shape below the waterline, propulsion system, machinery, and crew spaces would all share common design. This has been thoroughly tested and refined.
However the interior design, the shapes of the deckhouse and the hull above the waterline is custom designed. So each Owner can give his own input and create his/hers own look without having to reengineer components that are essential to the yacht.
The procedure results in shorter construction times, more efficiency and more cost-effective operation.
