ICE LADY

ICE LADY is a 43.3-metre steel motor yacht originally built by Helsingfors in 1959 and extensively converted, most recently refit in 2024. Her exterior was shaped by German Frers and her interiors designed by Jean-Guy Verges. A vessel of this age, brought forward to 2024 standards, represents a different proposition from a modern build: the quality of the conversion work carries as much weight as the original construction.

Accommodating up to 10 guests across six cabins with a crew of 10, ICE LADY suits guests who appreciate character and history in their vessels — those seeking the anonymous efficiency of a contemporary yacht will find more appropriate alternatives. Her cruising range of 5,600 nautical miles is a genuine attribute for those who want to move purposefully between destinations. Charter regions cover the western Mediterranean, including the Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, and the French Riviera.

At 344 gross tonnes and with a hull built to last, ICE LADY carries the gravitas of a vessel designed when steel construction and long-range capability were primary considerations. The 2024 refit ensures that contemporary standards of comfort and systems reliability underpin what is otherwise a historically significant profile. The Frers exterior lines communicate a purposeful maritime heritage rather than fashionable novelty.

The on-board experience balances active water use with quieter pleasures. Water toys include kayaking, paddleboarding, water skiing, wakeboarding, and snorkelling, alongside a floating pool and towable inflatables. An outdoor cinema, deck Jacuzzi, gym, and full air conditioning extend the options at anchor and underway. The crew-to-guest ratio of one-to-one supports an attentive service level throughout.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
