Vicem Classic 80 For Sale

The Vicem Classic 80 is the enlarged flagship of the Turkish yard’s celebrated downeast Classic line, carrying the timeless lobster-boat profile that made the smaller 77 a favourite into a more generous 24-metre package. Since the 1990s Vicem has built its reputation on cold-moulded mahogany construction, becoming one of the very few builders to offer this traditional, labour-intensive method in series production, and the Classic 80 is among the most complete expressions of that philosophy afloat.

Hand-built over an epoxy and glass matrix, she pairs the warmth and longevity of a cold-moulded wooden hull with the volume, systems and comfort of a full flybridge motor yacht. Twin MAN V12 engines of 1,550 horsepower each drive her to a relaxed cruise of around 22 knots and a top speed close to 28, while a 6,300-litre fuel tank supports comfortable passages between harbours. Conventional shaft drives and a deep, sea-kindly hull keep her composed offshore, a quality owners of the larger Vicems value as much as her looks.

Below, four cabins sleep eight guests in hand-finished comfort, with a full-beam owner’s suite, a bright saloon and a galley arranged for relaxed cruising. The low sheer, gentle flare and varnished brightwork are unmistakably Vicem, and the quality of the joinery reflects the more than 150 yachts the builder has delivered in this tradition. A full flybridge extends the living space into the open air, teak decks and wide sidedecks make movement easy, and a sheltered lower helm keeps her comfortable in all conditions.

Built to order in Turkey and finished to each owner’s taste, the Classic 80 suits a buyer who wants a true downeast flagship with the warmth of wood and the presence of a flybridge motor yacht.
