Aicon’s New 85-Foot Flybridge Happily Heads into the Breeze.
Waterfront: Sea Soarer

Aicon 85
The Aicon 85, the Sicilian boatyard’s new flybridge flagship, was presented last July in the splendid art deco surroundings of the Grand Hotel Villa Igiea in Palermo. The naval engineering and exterior and interior styling are by Marco Mannino. The 85 features the new-look large portholes that can be opened to allow fresh air into the master and VIP cabins. Belowdecks, the master suite is located amidships to take advantage of the full beam, whereas the VIP cabin is in the bow. Two twin single cabins are positioned in between. There is also room for two crew cabins and a dinette forward of the wheelhouse.

The comfortable, open-plan living area provides seating around the dining table for eight guests, while the fully equipped galley is on a raised split-level. There is both interior and exterior access to the spacious flydeck, which can be covered by an extendable bimini top. A small plunge pool on the flydeck is an exceptional amenity for a boat in the Aicon’s class.

Powered by twin Caterpillar 1,825-hp C32 engines, the 85 has a top speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 28 knots.
