TRUE DUTCH YACHT!Styling and interior design are not taken lightly in Italy, and if your taste in yachts is not encumbered by tradition, you will find theAicon 54a comfortable fit. Her exterior lines are very refined and her rakish superstructure is accented with a low-slung arch. It is thoughtfully fitted with an extension that positions the radar above the captain’s cap. Her slight reverse sheer terminates in a reverse transom that borders an integral swim/tender platform.Rail gates are fitted on the side decks, and our yacht equipped for boarding astern with a hydraulic passerelle that can be retracted or deployed from shore by remote control. The passerelle is designed to serve as a tender crane and heavy duty chalks are fitted as well.The teak-covered afterdeck has built-in seating and a sunpad tops the 54’s raised trunk forward. Warping windlasses are fitted aft, and a windlass/wildcat controls a plow-style anchor with 100 metres of chain.Molded-in stairs on the afterdeck lead to the flying bridge, where curved seating is aft and an island helm and raised sunpad are forward. This is a rather clever arrangement, as positioning the sunpad forward of the helm allows for additional interior headroom in the main cabin forward. As a result, there is less nip and tuck in the belowdecks overhead and sole, creating a more sophisticated, big boat feel.The flying bridge’s helm bench seating is one with an integral console with a wet bar, fridge and a barbecue grill.An impressive, polished, stainless-steel framed sliding glass door on the afterdeck leads to the main cabin. All the stainless steel aboard the 54 is fabricated at the yard. Aicon also crafts its own interiors, and our 54 has the highly sought after matt finish instead of the gloss cherry joinery. It just has the detail and luster Italian yacht builders are famous for.The split-level main cabin has a built-in seating area aft and an open galley area opposite the dinette forward. With the exception of a dual-voltage refrigerator, all appliances, including the dishwasher are familiar brands. There is a fair amount of stowage, including drawers designed to accommodate the custom tableware.A built-in washer/dryer is positioned conveniently in the passageway that leads belowdecks. The master stateroom, with a queen island berth, is forward. A amidships guest stateroom with a double berth (convertible to twin)has a private head. A second guest stateroom has two single berths. A third head without a shower is accessible from the cockpit.The 54’s construction follows CE-A making her ocean-going, with a solid bottom supported by a closely spaced network of transverse and longitudinal fiberglass stiffeners. The hull laminate is composed of alternating plies of woven roving and mat, and end-grain balsa coring is used to stiffen the topsides, superstructure and decks.The engineroom is accessible from the afterdeck and, unlike some enginerooms on other designs, is quite spacious and thoughtfully laid out. Machinery installations seem neat and tidy, and service points on the main engines and auxiliary systems appear to be within easy reach. Fuel is carried in two stainless-steel wing tanks that gravity feed a day tank on centerline. An 11kW generator with a sound shield is abaft the engines.A small compartment abaft the machinery space is designated as crew’s quarters. On our yacht it is used for extra storage.With 22.4 degrees of deadrise amidships and 16.8 degrees at the transom, the 54 is well suited for offshore service. While sea conditions were mild during my test on river Maas, several stout wakes gave me the sense that the 54 will deliver a soft, dry ride. She is very responsive to the throttle, accelerates evenly and is predictable in high-speed turns.Sound levels are super reasonable, sight lines from the flying bridge and the interior helm are excellent, and a bow and stern thruster is provided for wiggling out of tight spots.This 54 Aicon comes in a very tidy condition and is worth a viewing!Engines, gen-set, gearbox and controls:2 x Caterpillar 3406E 800hp809 engine hoursZF 350A gearbox with 2.08:1 ratioRadice 4 blade 33 x 41 propellersBCS hydraulic steering with power assistZF Mathers electronic controls12Kw Mase Generator with sound insulation boxSpecifications:Length: 17.61mLength waterline: 16.85mBeam: 4.88mDraft: 1.40mWeight: 29.000kgFuel: 2670 LitresWater: 800 LitresBlack: 200 LitresLay-out:Master mid-ship stateroom over her full beamMaster bathroom ensuiteVIP guestroom amidshipsVIP bathroom ensuiteTwin guestroomCrew cabinLarge saloonWide dinette on starboardwith TV cabinetLarge galley on portGeneral:Air conditioning in every roomHeating in every roomCd/radio in every roomLarge flat-TV’sCreme leather upholsterySilent flush toiletsHydraulic gangwayDinghy chalksElectric stern winchesElectric anchor winchBow-thrusterStern ThrusterTrim tabsCompassBar on fly with grill, refrigerator and sinkLarge sun pads and seating on flyLarge sunpads on bowGalley:4 zone ceramic HOBCombi oven-grill-microwaveLarge double sink with mixer tabFull size dishwasherExtraction fanElectronics:Raymarine chart plotterRaymarine radarRaymarine echo-sounderRaymarine speedometerRaymarine autopilotSimrad VHFAll electronics with repeaters on flyShow More
