It is said in Turkey that humble beginnings launch the purest of intentions. In the case of Vicem, it all started in a tiny Black Sea town of the same name. In the 1980’s a Turkish businessman from Vicem– Sebahattin Hafizoglu – developed a passionate regard for the storied schooners of the Bosporus (known as the Turkish Gulet).

He boldly decided to reinterpret them for modern sensibilities, using state-of-the-art Cold Molded wood and epoxy techniques. Almost immediately his countrymen recognized this merger of a new kind of luxury, comfort and performance with classical charm. Local resorts and businessmen clamoured for anything he could build. And so, in 1991, Vicem Yachts was formed. Twenty years later the wider world has come to recognize Vicem’s impeccable craftsmanship and uncompromising allegiance to quality.

VICEM TODAY
With over 150 yachts launched in the last twenty years, Vicem is now one of the world’s largest and most respected builders of classic luxury motor yachts. Fifteen design professionals – Naval Architects and Marine Engineers – use the latest generation design and project management software to produce technical specifications that are second to none. Their collaboration with some of the most prestigious design firms in the industry (Frank Mulder, Art Line Interiors, Wetzels Brown Partners and Ken Freivokh) assure cutting edge practices.

Four hundred staff in three Turkish facilities (one just outside of Istanbul in Tuzla, and two more in Antalya) that total 550,000 square feet (or 50,000 square meters) devote themselves to translating these designs into yachts that have become the envy of the yachting world. Worldwide Sales and Support operations are widely acknowledged to be world-class. They are run by an international brokers network made up of Vicem of America (Fort Lauderdale), Vicem of Europe (La Spezia) and Vicem of Asia Pacific (Australia).

TOTAL CUSTOMIZATION – Each and every Vicem is a unique piece of art – handcrafted and totally customized to suit owners’ personal taste and wishes. From the very first pencil stroke to the final splash on the Bosporus, Vicem’s artisans listen, learn, interpret, and then accomplish. The result: Every boat is unique in character, exquisitely “tailor-made” for the special person who first dreamed her.

TIMELESS DESIGN – Time and again, Vicem’s timeless designs come out on top, featuring classic pieces of art with a contemporary twist. They are elegant, head-turning vessels that truly stand apart from the crowd in any port of call.

EXCELLENCE IN CRAFTSMANSHIP – Every piece aboard a Vicem is made and installed by hand – from their creation of the multi-layered mahogany-epoxy composite hull, to the carving of the furniture. We invite you to look deep inside our cabinetry, to explore the recess of our bilges, and you will find a yacht built without compromise.
