New Model: Aicon 58 Flybridge

Presented as a surprise in begining July, during the Aicon dealer meeting, the new 58 Flybridge is the new symbol for luxury and elegance from the Sicilian yacht builder. The Messina company, planed the new 58 to be the new top seller of it's range, and to become an important and successful motor yacht under 18 metres, following the success, the first Aicon launched model the 56 enjoyed in over 6 years of production. Based on the 56 Flybridge, which the new 58 will go on and replace the new Aicon is a motor yacht of style, elegance and refinement, making it extremely livable and comfortable. Aicon say the new 58 Flybridge was planned like a small Super Yacht, applying huge spaces and luxury in a flybridge yacht measuring less then 18 meters, with an important space organization creating great fluidity between outside and inside. Of extreme elegance and comfort is the flybridge area, with a spacious C-shaped settee located aft of the fly, and the saloon area with a luxurious open space feel joining itself with the aft deck. Other important design notes for the 58 is the big windshield, and the Aicon trademark rounded center big port hole view windows for the master cabin, which unlike similar design also open up to allow air. An other important selling note which was also part of the 56 success, is the 3 cabin 3 head layout, making the Aicon the only yacht of under 18 metres with a full beam owner cabin offering an en-suite head for all three cabins. Double Caterpillar C15 of 800 hp, power the 58, giving top speeds of 29 knots, and a 25 knots continues cruising, but as is the case with the 56 I believe bigger double 1000 hp engines for higher speeds lovers will be made available as optional.
