At the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, ICE Yachts showcases three complementary visions of contemporary sailing. On one side, the exploratory, independent, and “off-grid” spirit of the ICE64 Explorer; on the other, the adrenaline and racing precision of the new ICE70 RS; and finally, the lightness and competitiveness of the ICE66 RS. Three models that each interpret in their own way the essence of the Italian shipyard: full-carbon construction, technological research, and a tailor-made design approach capable of meeting the most refined demands of yacht owners.
ICE64 Explorer – the freedom to go beyond the horizon with ICE Yachts
With the ICE64 Explorer, ICE Yachts has set a new standard for long-range cruising. Designed for those who dream of living the sea without geographical or time limits, this fully custom carbon-composite yacht is a synthesis of sturdiness, lightness, and maneuverability. The true power of this model lies in its total autonomy: hybrid propulsion systems, seamlessly integrated solar panels, rainwater collection, and advanced onboard systems make it possible to face ocean crossings and extended stays without relying on shore-based infrastructure.
Bright and functional, the interiors are designed for extended life on board, with generous storage volumes and natural materials carefully selected for long-lasting durability. An independent crew cabin, with direct access to the engine room and a dedicated workbench, ensures easy management of maintenance and operations even on the open sea. In short, the ICE64 Explorer is a laboratory of autonomy and comfort for those who don’t want to set limits on their desire for exploration.
The true flagship features of this ICE Yachts model are undoubtedly the deck and cockpit superstructures, though many other premium technical elements stand out:
- Integrated carbon tender crane on the structural aft arches
- Custom carbon dodger with crystal panels for full protection
- Rollbar with integrated mainsheet traveler
- Full-carbon hardtop with rainwater collection system and fully integrated 3 kW solar panels
- 48V electrical system

ICE70 RS: racing power, cruising elegance
If the ICE64 Explorer is a call to adventure, the ICE70 RS is pure sporting seduction. It represents the most advanced model in ICE Yachts’ performance range: an elite fast cruiser, designed for experienced owners who aim to stand out on international racing circuits without compromising on style and elegance. The yacht integrates cutting-edge technical solutions, including the sophisticated Cariboni lifting keel system—a precision retractable keel that allows draft modulation from 2.75 to 4.50 meters, combining top-level performance with easy access even to shallow marinas.
The generous sail plan is supported by a full-carbon rig with Park Avenue boom and Harken electric winches, ensuring power, control, and effortless handling. Inside, the yacht’s sporting DNA blends seamlessly with refined design: spacious interiors, premium materials, and state-of-the-art systems create a welcoming and functional environment, ideal even for long-range cruising.

ICE66 RS – the most futuristic design from ICE Yachts
Finally, at the 2025 edition of the French boat show, ICE Yachts unveiled the ICE66 RS, the first model of a new series born from collaboration with some of the biggest names in yachting: Farr Yacht Design for the hull and naval architecture, and Micheletti + Partners for the interior and exterior styling. This is a yacht that is light, fast, competitive, and at the same time comfortable—aimed at owners who value the solidity and performance of ICE Yachts but seek a more futuristic design.
The waterlines were drawn with the goal of elevating the speed and seaworthiness qualities that ICE Yachts’ clients are accustomed to, taking them to a new level. The hull, derived from racing boats, features a slightly reverse bow, as seen on the OR65, a hallmark of the shipyard. The maximum beam shifted aft, the powerful hull, and the significant righting moment enable this yacht to aspire to compete with pure racers. With a draft of 3.35 meters, it strikes the best compromise between performance and access to the main Mediterranean ports.
The technical features of this ICE Yachts jewel are particularly remarkable. The keel blade, built with a double Weldox structure, and the CNC-milled lead bulb ensure the strength and robustness needed to withstand the loads generated by the expansive sail plan. Meanwhile, the carbon rudder, with a shaft forged in an autoclave at 7 bar, is designed with cutting-edge technologies to deliver impressive control even when the yacht is heeled or subjected to heavy aerodynamic loads.
