22 YACHTING JANUARY 2018

 W

arm. that’s the

feeling I got when I

laid eyes on the Vicem

58 Classic at the Bahia

Mar marina in Fort Lauderdale. The

yacht’s high-gloss mahogany sliding

doors refl ected bright morning sun-

light, highlighting a fi ne fi nish. When

combined with the soft feel of the teak

cockpit beneath my feet, the sight made

the environment cozy and inviting.

A sunshade extends from the hard-

top on demand to cover the cockpit

when the day’s rays become too intense,

and it’s especially helpful when prepar-

ing lunch at the outdoor Bosch electric

cooktop to starboard. Relaxation space

out here is in the form of an L-shaped

settee that stretches along the transom

and up the port side. Just forward of

that settee is a smaller one for two.

With two fi ngers, I pushed on one

of the cockpit doors, and both opened

in concert, revealing an unobstructed

TIMELESS CHARM

The Vicem 58 Classic showcases trademark craftsmanship and traditional style.
