BLUEWAVE is a 2006 Aicon motor yacht, refitted in 2024, an Italian flybridge yacht of a little under twenty metres built for comfortable Mediterranean cruising with eight guests. A thorough refit has kept her current below decks, and she carries four cabins and a crew of three, which gives her the feel of a proper private yacht rather than a day boat. She is a warm, timber lined design from a yard that made its name on well proportioned, sea kindly hulls, and she suits a family or a group of friends who want space and comfort without the scale of a larger yacht.
On the water she is a quick, capable cruiser. With a top speed around thirty knots she can cover ground when the plan calls for it, reaching a further bay for lunch or returning to a sheltered harbour ahead of the weather, then settle to an easy cruise when there is nowhere in particular to be. Her flybridge profile gives her the classic Mediterranean look, with the helm and sunbathing up high and the main living spaces spread below.
Inside is where the refit shows most clearly. The main salon is bright and welcoming, lined in warm timber with pale, comfortable seating and large windows that bring the sea into the room. The space runs from a relaxed lounge to a dining area on one level, a sociable layout for a group who want to eat, talk and relax together, and an integrated galley keeps the cooking part of the day rather than hidden away. It is an easy, informal interior that works for long lunches indoors as readily as for quiet evenings at anchor.
Accommodation sleeps eight across four cabins, built around a master suite with its own bathroom, a seating area and good natural light. The further cabins include a double and a twin, each with the warm wood and neutral finish that runs through the yacht, which makes her a practical choice for a family with children as well as for two or three couples travelling together. The cabins are calm and well proportioned, and the consistent finish means the choice of cabin is a matter of taste rather than rank.
A yacht of this size is at her best on a varied itinerary of short hops, dropping the hook for a swim at lunch, moving a short way to a quiet cove for the night and tying up somewhere lively when the mood calls for it. Her turn of speed opens up a wider stretch of coast than a slower yacht of her size could reach in a week, and the crew of three keep the days flowing so the guests can simply enjoy them.
She is a comfortable, well sorted yacht for a relaxed week in the sun, equally at home at a marina for the evening and anchored off a quiet beach for a swim at lunch. The refit has given an established hull a fresh, current interior, and the four cabin layout makes her a genuine choice for a family or a group rather than just a couple.
She is well suited to Italy and the West Mediterranean, cruising the coast and islands of the Tyrrhenian and Ligurian seas at a pace that suits the day. For a family or a group of friends who want warm, timber lined comfort and four proper cabins in a quick, easy going yacht, BLUEWAVE is a sensible and genuinely welcoming choice.
