Vicem Yachts are built in two locations in Turkey, a country with a nautical heritage that stretches back more than twenty centuries. The primary shipyard is in Istanbul, about ninety minutes from the Ataturk Airport. Most of Vicem’ design and support services are based here. By yacht, it is a forty minute run to Istanbul’ Old City, and from there it is just another half hour up the Bosporus to the Black Sea. This is a trip many new Vicem owners take as part of the sea trial of their new yacht. A truly intoxicating experience.
A second shipyard is in Antalya, about 500 miles south of Istanbul, on the opal blue waters of the Mediterranean. Clients wishing to visit Antalya commonly make it a daytrip, as the flight takes less than one hour.
