The impressive Vicem Vulcan 46 metres M/Y Vulcan is
now on water. This is the most challenging project for
the world famous Turkish arriving to megayacht pro-
duction for the first time since 2010. Vicem is enlarging
its horizons beyond mahogany construction into high-
tech composite construction with three new sleek, fast
yachts, including a 46m/151’ , 35m/118’ and 32m/105’
for its Vulcan Line. V46 metres Vulcan (ex Caprice V)
was launched in July 2012 and V32 metres Bronko I
was launched in November 2012. V35 metres will be
launched soon in first semester 2013.
In order to continue with speeds in the 20 plus knots
range, Vicem decided on Cored Fiberglass construction
for this series. The first step was joining forces with
Dutch naval architect/designer Frank Mulder who has
designed many well known fast mega-yachts worldwi-
de. To utilize the state of the art in fiberglass yacht
construction, Mulder specified Core-Cell and Epoxy
resin for the entire structure.
Core-Cell has the best characteristics of any core mate-
rial for “off gassing”, insuring a finished hull and super-
structure that can be painted in any color.
“We want a reputation as a builder of light, beautiful
and fast hulls” says Sebahattin Hafizoglu, Vicem Yachts
Boats
Founder - Chairman of the Board of Directors. “Vicem
is entering the super-yacht segment with serious ambi-
tions and with no compromise/highest quality building
materials and technologies that compare favorably to
Northern Europe Shipyards.” The 46-metre super-
yacht has involved Dutch naval architect Frank Mulder
and noted interior design firm Art-Line Interiors. “On a
boat this size, with such high expectations of perfor-
mance, the choice of the ‘right’ naval architect was an
important one. Nobody has as rich an expertise as
Frank Mulder does,” says Hafizoglu. Vicem are so plea-
sed with Mulder’s work that we are also building a 32-
metre and a 35-metre to his designs.”
VULCAN 46 meters M/Y VULCAN
With this 46 meter yacht, Vicem decided to enter into
the composite mega-yacht segment without making
compromises. With the assistance of outstanding de-
sign firms such as Frank Mulder for exterior and naval
architecture, and Art Line for the interiors, Vicem set
out to build a 46 meter semi-displacement yacht which
is lighter and faster than the industry standard,
achieving 25 knots as top speed, while maintaining
high-efficiency cruising and long range capability of
4,000 Nm @ 12 knots, thus creating an extremely ver-
