About Vicem – The Yacht for Yachtsmen Since the company was founded in 1991, Vicem Yachts has always focused on three core values: total customization, impeccable craftsmanship and timeless design. The Vicem Vintage Line (Classic and Fly Bridge models, from 52’ to 77’; the Cruiser 82′, 97′ and 107’) is built using the cold-molded process. A construction technique, which embodies all the construction methods of the Turkish historical marine tradition; a modern procedure different from traditional boat building. Based on engineered wood construction, cold-molding uses laminated mahogany (coming from managed forests) and a specific formulated epoxy resin to create the hull, decks and principal superstructures. This results in a stronger and quieter vessel with a smoother ride, with natural insulation from humidity and noise. In 2009, Vicem Yachts extended its production to the mega- yacht segment, introducing the new Vulcan Line with the 46m (April 2013) & 35m Tri-deck and the 32m RPH (delivered in 2012 and 2013). Vanguard 45 and 33 compose its all new third line of open yachts, a perfect blend of timeless elegance, performing naval architecture and state of the art production technology.
Vicem Yachts is the company’s U.S. operations division, with headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and satellite sales and service offices in Saraso, Florida; Annapolis, Maryland; Boston, Massachussetts; Great Lakes, Michigan – Coming Soon!
