Design & Construction
Designed around a full displacement GRP hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 9.26m beam and a 2.7m draft. The yacht is built over 3 decks with an internal volume of 498 GT (Gross Tonnes).
Construction started in late 2012. This was the first yacht built on the FB800 Series design. She was completed at Benetti's Viareggio yard in Italy where she was commissioned and delivered to her owners in February 2015.
Exterior Design
The exterior spaces of Vica are conceived to maximize the enjoyment of the sea and sun. The covered aft decks offer generous room for relaxation and socializing, extending the living space beyond the interior confines. The main deck's walkways are notably wide, allowing for easy and secure movement throughout the vessel, enhancing the sense of freedom that open water brings.
Strategically positioned port and starboard stairs at the forward end of the main deck link to the upper deck. Here, guests are greeted by an expansive forward seating and sunning area, complete with a spa pool that serves as an inviting oasis during the warm Mediterranean cruising season. This thoughtful design element underscores Vica's identity as a yacht intended for those who seek to bask in the natural elements.
The ingenuity in Vica's design continues with the integration of a protected seating area just aft of the saloon doors, where guests can enjoy the fresh air while lounging on large teak sofas. The inclusion of a recessed television in this area perfectly marries the concepts of outdoor leisure and indoor comfort, ensuring that the transition between environments is both fluid and intuitive.
On the sundeck, a second spa pool is encircled by sunbathing areas, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation and social gatherings under the sun or stars. A full bar, additional dining area, and a circular open space for sun loungers further enhance the versatility of Vica's outdoor offerings. The sundeck also doubles as a helipad, providing functionality for guests who prioritize accessibility and convenience.
Interior Design
Upon entering the main saloon, guests are greeted by a spacious aft section that boasts a bar and a Yamaha baby grand piano, complemented by a karaoke setup and plush seating arrangements. The generous use of sliding glass doors merges indoor and outdoor living seamlessly, encouraging guests to enjoy the fresh air and stunning views. The saloon transitions into a secondary lounge area, delineated by illuminated columns and a buffet, creating an intimate media space for relaxation and entertainment.
The joinery's primary material is cherry wood, accented by touches of rosewood, imparting a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. The soft goods maintain a neutral palette, ensuring that the interior does not overshadow the vibrant beauty of the surrounding seascape. Notably, the use of bamboo-fiber carpets throughout the yacht underscores the owner's preference for eco-friendly options.
The formal dining area, intentionally relocated to the upper saloon, capitalizes on the panoramic views provided by expansive sliding glass doors. Here, an elegantly embellished overhead complements an oval dining table, which can accommodate six to twelve guests, creating a setting perfect for memorable dining experiences.
The lower lobby surprises with a fold-down sea terrace, providing yet another intimate connection with the marine environment.
Accommodation
Vica offers sumptuous living quarters for up to ten guests, ensuring an intimate and exclusive yachting experience. The guest accommodations are comprised of two lavish double cabins and two twin cabins, all situated on the lower deck. Each cabin has been carefully appointed with the finest materials and finishes, reflecting the yacht's overall sophisticated aesthetic. The predominant woodwork throughout the yacht, predominantly cherry with rosewood accents, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the use of environmentally friendly bamboo-fiber carpeting adds a touch of sustainable elegance.
The master suite, a sanctuary of serenity and luxury, is located on the main deck. This full-beam stateroom a permanent balcony that allows for an al fresco experience even while underway. This unique feature is complemented by watertight glass doors, providing guests with the perfect blend of indoor comfort and outdoor connection. The suite includes a surprisingly spacious office, allowing for privacy and quiet contemplation or work if needed.
Ensuring the smooth operation of Vica, the yacht also accommodates a dedicated and professional crew of 12, who are housed in 7 separate quarters designed to offer both comfort and functionality. These quarters ensure that the crew can maintain the highest standards of service while granting guests their privacy.
Performance & Capabilities
Vica is powered by twin Caterpillar C32 engines, each capable of delivering a formidable 970 kilowatts of power. This impressive propulsion system catapults Vica to an exhilarating top speed of 15.5 knots, with a cruising speed that comfortably sits at 14 knots. For those leisurely, extensive voyages, dropping her pace to 12 knots affords her a substantial range of 4,000 nautical miles, ensuring that she can glide across the seas with minimal stops for refueling.
The engineering excellence of Vica is not just limited to her impressive speed and range. She is equipped with a technical tunnel that runs from stern to bow at bilge level, allowing for an organized and efficient layout of essential equipment. This feature not only streamlines maintenance and access but also helps to keep the engine room and engineer's control room compact and unobtrusive. The result is more space devoted to luxury accommodations and amenities for guests.
Adhering to the rigorous standards of the ABS classification society, Vica ensures safety and performance are in no way compromised. The yacht's gross tonnage cleverly skirts just under the 500 mark, coming in at 498, which represents a strategic design choice to maximize pleasure and minimize regulatory complexity.
In terms of stability and comfort, Vica boasts stabilizers that enhance the onboard experience, even when she is sailing through less than perfect sea conditions.
Amenities
In addition, Vica features a beach club where those on board can enjoy unwinding close to the water. The yacht can house plenty of nautical toys and accessories, with a well-appointed tender garage for storing her impressive locker. Air conditioning offers increased on-board comfort. Vica also features a deck jacuzzi for cooling off.
