Ice Yachts is gearing up for an exciting autumn, starting with the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival. At the French boat show, scheduled from September 9 to 14, the Salvirola-based shipyard will showcase three flagship models that express its vision of high-end sailing through different yet complementary approaches. These are the ICE 64 Explorer, ICE 66 Sport, and ICE 70 RS. The first is designed for long-term onboard living and ocean crossings with complete energy and operational independence; the second is a modern fast cruiser that combines elegant styling with proven performance; the third is built to compete at the highest level in demanding Mediterranean and international racing circuits, without sacrificing cruising comfort.
ICE 64 Explorer: long-range autonomy and comfort
Tailored for owners seeking to embrace a life at sea without boundaries, the ICE64 Explorer is a fully custom yacht conceived for ocean crossings, extended exploration, and long-term autonomy—even far from shore-based infrastructure. Built entirely in lightweight yet robust carbon composite, this Ice Yachts’ vessel ensures superior structural strength, seaworthiness, and efficiency, even in challenging weather conditions.
Autonomy is the key feature if the ICE 64 Explorer: advanced energy systems, hybrid propulsion, integrated solar panels, rainwater collection, and optimized onboard systems allow for independent living aboard for weeks or even months. The layout was designed by Ice yachts to maximize comfort and ease of long-term management. Interiors offer ample storage, natural materials, and a bright atmosphere. A dedicated crew cabin with access to the engine room and a functional workbench simplifies onboard maintenance and operations.
However, the deck and cockpit superstructures are the true highlights of the project, featuring an integrated carbon tender crane on structural aft arches, a custom carbon dodger with crystal panels for full protection, a rollbar with integrated mainsheet electric traveler, a full carbon hardtop with rainwater collection system and fully integrated 3 kW solar panels. Thanks to this equipment, the ICE 64 Explorer is the ideal yacht for those who dream of sailing autonomously for weeks, crossing oceans, and living in complete independence in close contact with nature.
ICE 66 Sport: elegance, design and performance
The new ICE66 Sport represents the latest evolution in high-performance sailing from ICE Yachts. Its hull lines and naval architecture are crafted by the esteemed Farr Yacht Design. Generous dimensions and a wide beam provide not only stability and safety at sea but also outstanding interior livability. A shallow draft of just 3.3 meters ensures access to ports and shallow bays without compromising sailing performance.
The ICE66 Sport immediately stands out for its clean lines and revolutionary deckhouse shape. Once aboard, the minimalist two-level deck layout enhances both aesthetics and sailing functionality. The seamless, flowing design of the coachroof contrasts beautifully with the sharp, expansive cockpit—highlighting the refined work on design and the balance between shapes and volumes.
Interior spaces and deck, styled by Micheletti & Partners, express a perfect harmony of functionality, lightweight construction, and onboard comfort. The bright, airy saloon is flooded with natural light through large windows. The open-plan galley with central island features premium finishes—Corian countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, abundant storage, and a wine cellar. Contrasting textures—light leather panels and ribbed walnut—add depth and warmth to the ambiance.
With the ICE66 Sport, ICE Yachts strengthens its position as a benchmark in the world of high-performance sailing, delivering a yacht that blends technology, elegance, and versatility—perfect for both offshore cruising and competitive racing.
ICE 70 RS: speed, control, power
Last but not least, the ICE70 RS is the most advanced model in ICE Yachts’ sport range—a high-performance fast cruiser built for experienced owners aiming to race competitively at the highest international level, while still enjoying elegance and onboard comfort. To ensure maximum performance while maintaining the ability to access shallow marinas, the yacht features a Cariboni lifting keel—a high-precision retractable system that allows the draft to vary from 2.75 m to 4.50 m.
The powerful sail plan is paired with a full-carbon rig, optimized mast, Park Avenue boom, and Harken electric winches for efficient handling. The interior layout reflects the yacht’s sporting DNA while offering generous volumes, refined materials, and advanced systems—making it equally suited for long-range cruising. The ICE 70 RS is ready to take on the most competitive regattas in the Mediterranean – and beyond – with the style, power, and precision of a true racing yacht.
