AION

52 - 56 - 60

THE SHAPE OF TOMORROW

AION is IC’s owner-driven catamaran platform for long-range sailing.

 

It balances offshore usability, refined liveability and semi-custom configuration across 52, 56 and 60 feet.

REFINED EXTERIOR

Exterior defined by precision engineering and timeless performance aesthetics

Precision
in Motion

A sailing catamaran shaped by clean architecture, generous space and the freedom of the open sea.

Each yacht is developed in close collaboration with its owner.


Materials, colors, hardware, mast configuration and propulsion systems are carefully selected to match the owner’s vision and sailing ambitions.

 

The result is a yacht that is not simply built — but individually crafted.

Clean
Modern Lines

The profile of AION reflects a contemporary interpretation of the performance cruising catamaran.

Long horizontal windows and sculpted hull surfaces emphasize the balance between modern aesthetics and hydrodynamic efficiency.

Presence
on the Horizon

A balanced catamaran architecture designed for stability, efficiency and elegant behaviour in open water.

Architecture
of Space

From above, the yacht’s layout becomes clear: open decks, protected cockpit and smooth circulation between sailing and living areas.

Design that prioritizes both performance and comfort.

Open Living
at Sea

The wide aft cockpit forms the social heart of AION.


Generous seating areas, twin helm stations and seamless access to the water create a relaxed environment designed for life outdoors.

Deck
Lounge

The aft cockpit of AION is conceived as an open lounge above the sea.

Comfortable seating areas, twin helm stations and direct access to the water create a relaxed space for conversation, navigation and shared moments on board.

A place where sailing naturally blends with everyday life at sea.

Sailing
in Balance

A yacht created to move effortlessly across open water.

Where Sailing 
Meets Leisure

AION’s open stern design creates a natural transition between cockpit and ocean.

Generous steps, wide platforms and an inviting lounge area transform the aft deck into a place for relaxation, social moments and effortless access to the water.

INTERIOR - MEDITERRANEAN

The Heart of the Vessel, Crafted with Racing Spirit

A Loft  
Above the Sea

Inspired by contemporary loft living, the Mediterranean configuration transforms the saloon into an open and luminous living environment.

Expansive glazing surrounds the interior with sea views, while the integrated galley, lounge and navigation station create a functional yet elegant space for life on board.

Cooking with 
a View

From early morning coffee to long evenings at sea, the galley becomes the natural gathering place on board — where the journey is shared.

Smart
Work Space

The navigation table serves as the operational heart of AION, bringing together navigation systems, vessel monitoring and communication tools in a clean, ergonomic workspace.

Beyond sailing, the station transforms into a multifunctional area that can be used as a private office or entertainment zone. A hidden pop-up screen allows the space to quickly shift from chart table to media center.

A flexible environment designed for modern cruising.

INTERIOR - OCEAN

The Heart of the Vessel, Crafted with Racing Spirit

Designed for 
the Open Ocean

The Ocean configuration places navigation and sailing at the heart of the interior layout.


A central helm station ensures optimal control and visibility, while the surrounding saloon remains bright, open and welcoming.

A configuration built for confident long-distance cruising.

Culinary
Space

In the Ocean configuration, the galley is placed in the starboard hull, allowing the main saloon to focus on navigation and living space.


The result is a layout optimized for extended cruising, where functionality and comfort work in perfect balance.
