A new owner has taken over the innovative Dutch builder of tailor-made luxury mega yachts, the ICON YACHTS.
This new backing will not only secure the yard’s current projects but allow ICON to remain an independent company and embark upon an exciting new growth phase. The ICON brand will continue to focus on delivering award-winning megayachts of exceptional design and build quality.
These qualities, together with ICON’s innovative manufacturing processes and unrivalled, modern facilities, are providing the unique mix that led the new investor to the ICON brand. This entity will bring to ICON a proven track record of nurturing the continued success of industrial and financial groups combined with a long held passion for superyachts.
“ This deal sees the marriage of new long term committed investment with our proven capabilities at Icon Yachts. It’s the strengthening of our financial backbone that we have been seeking since we embarked on our ambitious journey to create this forward-thinking shipyard. We are building increasingly larger and more technically challenging yachts up to 145 meters and of the finest Dutch quality ” said CEO Jen Wartena .
