Projects: Vicem 75 Cruiser Series, Vicem 115 Cruiser Series, Vicem 125 Cruiser Series

Vicem Yachts from Turkey, continues to offer new models based on Traditional lines. With these three new upcoming projects the Turkish builder will have a total of nineteen models, from 52 to 125 feet, in a three different range series. All of the projects presented today are as all Vicem traditional looking. The Cruiser Series unlike the other lines sets more its eyes into European heritage then the US as offered by the Classic and Sportfish series. The Cruiser Series also offers the bigger sizes from the Turkish builder. The first of these pictured above is the 75 Cruiser Series. The 75 will offer a four double cabin interior all located on the lower deck, with a double crew cabin aft. It will be powered by twin 900hp MAN engines, and construction as all Vicem is in the wood plus glass cold molding method. The Vicem 115 Cruiser Series is the second biggest project coming from the Turkish builder. Apart from entering Super Yacht status the 115 offers also a distinctive classic exterior styling with lines echoing the past, like its shear line or traditional squared transom stern. All these are always features of the Vicem yachts, but more so in the Cruiser series. Down below the 115 will offer a five double cabin plan, with a separate galley located on the lower deck. Vicem also offers two alternative plans to the owners cabin located mid ship. Crew quarters located aft offers accommodation for four members. The split level saloon is all dedicated for the owner featuring also a bar area, apart the usual saloon settee, and dining table for ten members. Power is from twin MAN CRM V12 1550hp with speeds estimates of a 19 knots maximum, and cruising of 14 knots. Vicem 125 Cruiser is so far its biggest project, although with a Custom series in the works this might not be for so long. The 125 will be a two deck and half Super Yacht, following the Turkish builder its usual traditional lines of days gone by looks. What to notice surely is how the raised pilot house is integrated very cleanly in the lines. The 125 will offer guest accommodation in five double guest cabins located in the lower deck, plus an owners suite located on the main deck. Crew accommodation is for five or six, located to fore in the lower deck, and in the raised pilot house for the captain. The 125 will also feature a sauna room and a gym room aft.
