ICE Yachts at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival
At the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 (September 9–14), ICE Yachts will showcase three flagship models that express, through distinct yet complementary approaches, the yard’s vision of excellence in modern sailing.
ICE64 Explorer, designed for long-term onboard living, transoceanic crossings, and complete energy and operational independence.
ICE66 Sport, a modern fast cruiser that blends the elegant exterior and interior styling of Micheletti & Partners with the proven performance and refined naval architecture of Farr Yacht Design.
ICE70 RS, a high-performance fast cruiser created to compete in the most demanding Mediterranean and international racing circuits, without compromising cruising comfort.
ICE64 Explorer – Autonomy and Comfort for Long-Range Cruising
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, the yacht ensures superior structural strength, seaworthiness, and efficiency, even in challenging weather conditions.
Autonomy is the key feature: 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 is designed 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.
The deck and cockpit structures are among the highlights of the project, featuring:
Integrated carbon tender crane on structural aft arches
Custom carbon dodger with crystal panels for full protection
Rollbar with integrated mainsheet electric traveler
Full carbon hardtop with rainwater collection system and fully integrated 3 kW solar panels
48V electrical system

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—striking a refined balance between form and function.
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.
