Vicem Yachts: A company with a mission:

To blend craftsmanship borne from 3,000 years of finely honed woodworking skills with the most advanced technologies available. The goal is to produce yachts that fully satisfy “The happy few.” An unwavering devotion to quality is the star around which three our key values orbit: Total Customization, Timeless Design, and Excellence in Craftsmanship.

Customization

Each and every Vicem Yachts is a unique piece of art – handcrafted and totally customized to suit owners’ personal taste and wishes. From Vicem’s earliest days, we have challenged ourselves to really listen to their customers, to absorb their ideas, and to work tirelessly to channel them into the finest yachts afloat. From the very first pencil stroke to the final splash on the Bosporus, Vicem’s artisans listen, learn, interpret, and then accomplish. The result: Every boat is unique in character, exquisitely “tailor-made” for the special person who first dreamed her.

Timeless Design

The best boats succeed on tough waters. The best boat company’s succeed on the docks! It is there (from Newport to Portofino) that owners, captains and competitors share their hard-earned judgments. Time and again, Vicem’s designs come out on top. Called “The very best ambassador of Down-east style yachting”, Vicem’s timeless designs produce classic pieces of art with a contemporary twist. They are elegant, head-turning vessels that truly stand apart from the crowd in any port of call.

Excellence in Craftsmanship

Every piece aboard a Vicem is made and installed by hand – from they creation of the multi-layered mahogany-epoxy composite hull, to the carving of the furniture. We invite you to look deep inside our cabinetry, to explore the recess of our bilges, and you will find a yacht built without compromise.

Construction

Recognizing wood’s superior qualities and honoring the millenary tradition of wood working craftsmanship in Turkey, Vicem proudly continues to utilize traditional boat building method but with a contemporary twist. All the Vicem Vintage Line yachts – which includes Classic, Flybridge, Cruiser and Bahama Bay lines – are built with the Cold-Molded Process.This operation simply involves applying layers of thin solid-wood veneers, oriented at different angles, to be saturated by epoxy over a computer-designed mold. This marriage of engineered woods with formulated resins yields a hull that is lighter, stronger and more durable than traditionally built fiberglass boats.

To this are added the widely acclaimed advantages in comfort, noise reduction, and insulation from the elements.
