ICE BEAR To Go Up For Auction this October

By Zoe Coughlan

Burgess has announced the exciting news that it is working in partnership with Boathouse Auctions to find a new owner for Feadship's 52m ICE BEAR. On 10th October, the auction will commence and the highest bidder will become the new owner of this beautiful yacht, able to begin their adventures with her in 30 days or less, ahead of the start of the Caribbean season.

Delivered in 1988, ICE BEAR is a quintessential example of a classic Feadship vessel. This unique opportunity is not one to be missed for those who are looking to sail in undisputed style. Having a top speed of 15 knots, a cruising speed of 13 knots and measuring in at 614 gross tonnes, her range of 4850 nautical miles equips her for unforgettable transatlantic trips.

Kevin Kramer, lead broker at Burgess, commented on this special opportunity: ‘ICE BEAR has only ever been used privately, never chartered, and has always been professionally maintained so she’s in excellent condition. If it wasn’t for her classic styling, which is so emblematic of Feadship, you’d never guess she was delivered in 1988.’ 

Accommodating up to 10 guests, ICE BEAR’s timeless design promises extraordinary voyages for those on board. With the spacious master suite on the main deck, inclusive of his and hers bathrooms and a beautiful private study, ICE BEAR offers her new owner a sleek and luxurious accommodation to truly relax at sea.

Kramer concluded: ‘What makes this yacht so rare, though, is that she is one of the few sport fishing Feadships I’ve ever seen. If sport fishing is your passion, this is the only yacht for you, absolutely tailor-made for the job and designed around that visceral connection with the ocean.’

ICE BEAR also underwent a Patton Marine Survey on 9 September 2024 with the report accessible on the auction listing. The bidding will be live and the action will unfold in real time from its opening on 10th October to the closing on 15th October. 

We at Superyachts.com cannot wait to witness this upcoming industry event unfold, as ICE BEAR embarks on an exciting journey with a brand new Owner.
