The yacht known for now as Icon 250 is officially underway at Icon Yachts. The hull arrived this week from Icon Yachts’ subcontractor.
The Icon 250 is styled by Tim Heywood and measures just shy of 250 feet, hence the name. LOA is 248’7”, or 75.8 meters. She’ll be quite voluminous, with a gross tonnage of 2,015. The megayacht may charter, since Icon Yachts says she’ll entertain 19 in the owner’s party when not operating commercially. Otherwise, 12 in the owner’s party will be accommodated.
Regardless of the total guest head count, the Icon 250 will have a number of creature comforts. There will be a waterfall-equipped pool on the main aft deck. As the rendering above shows, it’s surrounded by abundant teak-decked lounging space. Also note the lounging area on the fold-down terrace to starboard. The Icon 250 has this area immediately accessible from a gym and wellness area. They, in turn, are accessible from the five guest suites.
As for the master suite, it’s forward on the upper deck of the Icon 250. Naturally, there will be panoramic views. The views should be even better from the private alfresco area it will feature. The owner can trade in the natural views for cinematic ones in the movie theater, which will further seat up to 18 other people.
All together, there will be 10,764 square feet (1,000 square meters) devoted to relaxation. The Icon 250 will also boast a beam of 44’3” (13.5 meters). Studio Massari is handling interior design. No details are yet available on decor items, other than there being a glass elevator aboard. Toy-wise, two 33-foot (10-meter) custom tenders will be available. The 28-person crew will have its own tender, too. All will be stowed forward beneath side shell doors.
Icon Yachts anticipates a 16-knot top end and 14-knot cruise speed for the Icon 250. She’ll meet Lloyds and MCA requirements, and surely the Passenger Yacht Code as well. Delivery is set for 2017.
