ICe Yachts ICE 62 targa
About this yacht
The ICe Yachts ICE 62 targa represents a bold departure from conventional cruising sailboats, combining performance-oriented design with exceptional comfort for both solo sailing and fast cruising adventures. Launched in 2023, this 17.99-meter sailing yacht accommodates up to 10 guests across three well-appointed cabins, making her equally suited for family cruising or spirited offshore passages. Built on the proven foundation of the acclaimed ICE 60, the ICE 62 targa distinguishes herself through a striking carbon rollbar with integrated T-top—a functional design element that replaces traditional bimini structures while maintaining clear sightlines and a clean deck layout. Her scimitar-shaped reverse bow and 1.3-meter carbon bowsprit echo the design language that made the ICE 52 a bestseller, with over 15 units delivered to date. The hybrid construction approach showcases intelligent engineering: a glass-carbon hull balances structural rigidity with natural vibration dampening, while the full carbon deck reduces weight aloft and lowers the center of gravity. All structural elements are infusion-laminated and bonded into a monolithic structure, eliminating the creaks and flexing common in traditionally built yachts. This construction method, combined with strategic weight savings throughout, enables the ICE 62 targa to carry a powerful 195-horsepower Yanmar engine that delivers cruising speeds exceeding 12 knots under power alone. Her variable-draft keel system, engineered by Italian manufacturer Cariboni, adjusts from 2.30 to 3.80 meters, providing racer-cruiser performance in open water while maintaining access to shallow harbors. The double Weldox steel fin with numerically-milled lead torpedo optimizes the ballast-to-displacement ratio, enhancing both stability and speed. Twin rudders, constructed in carbon and designed with advanced hydrodynamics, deliver precise control even under heavy loads or extreme heel angles. The deck layout reflects careful attention to both performance and liveability. An oversized cockpit features wide benches with comfortable backrests, providing ample space for crew movement during passages or relaxed entertaining at anchor. The helmsman benefits from twin seats that conceal a life raft and additional storage, while the carbon hardtop integrates solar panels and an electrically-operated mainsheet traveler. Hydraulic fairleads and electric mooring systems at the bow further simplify handling, particularly valuable during solo navigation. The stern garage stands out as exceptionally spacious for this class, capable of storing a 3.1-meter rigid-bottom tender—a feature typically found on vessels approaching 70 feet. Electric winches facilitate both hatch operation and tender deployment, maintaining the yacht's focus on ease of use without compromising capability. Below deck, lightweight composite panels reduce weight while preserving the quality of Italian craftsmanship. The standard three-cabin layout includes two generous bathrooms and an open galley, creating a comfortable environment for extended cruising. The carbon mast comes equipped with electric in-boom furling for the mainsail, complementing the self-tacking genoa and absence of running backstays—a sail plan designed for efficient shorthanded sailing. The ICE 62 targa qualifies for discounted marina rates available to vessels under 18 meters (excluding the bowsprit), adding practical value to her performance credentials. Her CE Category A certification confirms her capability for open ocean passages, backed by construction standards that reflect decades of experience from ICE Yachts' skilled technicians in Salvirola, Italy. This bluewater-capable performance cruiser appeals to sailors seeking a vessel that excels across multiple roles: a capable passage-maker for offshore adventures, a responsive daysailer for weekend escapes, and a comfortable platform for extended cruising with family or guests. The ICE 62 targa delivers genuine Italian design and manufacturing excellence in a package that refuses to compromise between speed and comfort.
