Aicon Yachts Vivera 70
During my stay in Cannes for the Cannes Yachting Festival, which took place from September 8 to 13, I visited the AICON stand and specifically the Audace 50 and the Vivere 70.
Here are my comments regarding the Vivere 70.
A beautiful and pleasant surprise. A modern concept with an approach that is both luxurious and understated so that the boat can age very well through the trends that change every year. A yacht that should appeal to North American boaters.
The Aicon Vivere 70 is a pure Italian product and it shows.
I visited the 3-bedroom version, which allows for an office at the entrance to the owners’ cabin.
What stands out are the large round portholes in the owners’ cabin. Light is everywhere. The décor is perfect.
But the very accessible and well-designed engine room must be highlighted. Truly, for this category, it stands out from the competition.
Here is now the description from the manufacturer AICON (by the manufacturer):
Aicon Yachts is an Italian shipyard specializing in the design and manufacture of luxury motor yachts.
