ICE 56 ST, a racing soul for luxury sport cruising

A 56-footer capable of redefining the concept of a performance cruiser, designed for speed but with a vocation for long-distance sailing. The ICE 56 ST is the brand-new model introduced by Ice Yachts, an international benchmark in the world of high-performance luxury sailing. Designed by Felci Yacht Design, the ICE 56 ST represents the evolution of the Sport Touring line, the shipyard’s most sporty range, created for owners who want to win races and enjoy comfortable cruising with the same boat.

Top-level rigidity and lightness: the sporting DNA of the ICE 56 ST

Every detail of the ICE 56 ST was designed to create a responsive, lightweight, and sturdy yacht, capable of delivering an extraordinary sailing experience in all conditions. Its sporty configuration allows it to excel in racing, while the build quality and design solutions ensure comfort and reliability even on ocean journeys. This is evident in details such as the cockpit, which is clad in 3 mm synthetic teak to minimize weight while maintaining a pleasant aft area suitable for cruising use.

Overall, the ICE 56 ST was developed to meet the needs of many experienced owners: to have a fast, lightweight boat that is also solid and equipped to excel in the most competitive racing circuits of the Mediterranean. The deck equipment, rigging, and appendages have all been optimized to extract the highest performance from a winning hull.

The hull and deck of the ICE 56 ST are made of full carbon composite, using epoxy resin and vacuum infusion techniques over a closed-cell PVC core. This solution ensures superior structural strength and a significant reduction in weight—key factors for achieving excellent performance and energy efficiency even during cruising. The internal structures, also made of carbon, are laminated directly in the mold, ensuring maximum rigidity and eliminating torsion even under stress in extreme conditions. The CFD-optimized hull lines provide stability, balance, and early planing, delivering excellent performance even in light winds.

Fast in racing, simple for cruising

The sail plan of the ICE 56 ST was designed to offer the perfect balance between ease of handling and power. The high-modulus carbon mast and boom are built to support a generous and versatile sail configuration. The deck is laid out rationally, with all lines led back to the cockpit and dual helm wheels to ensure maximum maneuverability—even with a reduced crew. The headsails are mounted on high-performance furlers, while the gennaker is designed to deliver peak performance on downwind courses.

As for propulsion and technical equipment, the ICE 56 ST is equipped with a 110 hp Yanmar engine, ensuring reliability and power during harbor maneuvers and motor sailing. The tanks hold 800 liters of water and 400 liters of diesel, providing excellent range for offshore cruising.

Custom interiors and tailor-made comfort

As with all ICE Yachts models, the ICE 56 ST offers a high degree of customization, both in fittings and materials. Owners can choose from various interior configurations, including layouts with 3 or 4 cabins, a full-size galley, and dedicated spaces for provisioning or crew areas.

The use of lightweight, premium materials—such as sandwich paneling and finishes in teak, oak, or wengé—helps keep weight down while maintaining an elegant, functional, and wear-resistant interior environment.

ICE 56 ST sets a new benchmark in sailing yachts

The ICE 56 ST makes a strong entrance into the 50 to 60-foot yacht segment, offering a unique blend of technology, performance, and style. With this new model, ICE Yachts once again reaffirms its commitment to innovation and quality, delivering a yacht designed for those who demand more—for those who love sailing in all its forms.
