ICE 70 Sport, the cruiser racer for those who don’t accept compromises

A unique creation, designed to combine top-level racing performance with outstanding offshore cruising comfort. ICE Yachts proudly presents the ICE 70 Sport, a bold and dynamic vision of its iconic 70-footer, once again signed by Felci Yacht Design. Sleek lines, cutting-edge materials, high-end technical solutions, and a completely renewed design give this yacht a strong character and a striking presence that stands out on seas around the world.

The ICE 70 Sport immediately stands out for the absence of side hull windows—a deliberate choice that creates a cleaner visual look and a more aggressive profile, inspired by ocean racing yachts. This is further enhanced by a pearlescent “Snow White” paint job, which adds elegance and brilliance to every line of the hull. The lack of windows also allows for additional weight reduction and structural optimization, increasing the overall sturdiness of the hull and deck.

The deck of the ICE 70 Sport, clad in 10 mm natural teak, strikes the perfect balance between sportiness and class. The deck rigging remains the same of the original ICE 70 model—efficient, streamlined, and designed for smooth handling, even with a small crew.

The smart layout of the ICE 70 Sport

The interior of the ICE 70 Sport features a five-cabin layout, perfectly arranged to ensure privacy, comfort, and practicality both under sail and at anchor. Amidships, there’s a spacious and bright master cabin with a large en-suite bathroom, complete with a tempered glass shower. Aft, two generous guest cabins each have private access to their own bathrooms, while forward, two crew cabins have direct access to the galley—an ideal setup for privacy and smooth operation on board, even during long passages.

The interior design of the ICE 70 Sport is defined by beautiful natural teak finishes treated with a water-based varnish that preserves the material’s natural texture and warmth. In the modern, functional dinette, the open-plan galley stands out, with elegant touches like navy blue lacquered glass cabinet doors that add a refined and contemporary feel.

Performance and technology in service of the sea

The yacht’s structure is optimized for high performance, with a hybrid glass/carbon composite hull built using epoxy resin infusion, and a full-carbon deck for maximum lightness and sturdiness. The rig is also carbon (mast and boom), designed to support a generous sail plan with a Bamar furling mainsail. A key technical feature is the lifting keel— a hydraulically operated swing keel that allows the draft to shift from a deep 4.47 meters, ideal for top-level performance, to a reduced 2.75 meters, perfect for accessing shallow harbors.

In conclusion, with the ICE 70 Sport, ICE Yachts introduces a model designed for those who want to sail with character, efficiency, and comfort—without giving up flawless aesthetics and cutting-edge technology. A yacht for true sailing enthusiasts, able to enjoy every mile, whether racing or cruising, with full control—and unmistakable style—underfoot.
