Every once in a great while (and certainly not often enough) I come across a yacht that sails right up to that fine line between new and brokerage yacht condition. Getting there takes a skilled and committed team – a great boat, a great owner, and a great shipyard. But the results make my heart soar. And soar it did yesterday when I had the pleasure of sea trialing this just-on-the-market 2006 Vicem 54 Classic. I had the pleasure of selling her when new, and I fully expect my pleasure will double down this time around!
Say hello to Karinneh!
The above photo’s don’t quite do her justice, but these drone videos take up the slack:
She’s waiting for you in Rhode Island. Her price is $875,000. I thought long and hard before I came up with my closing statement here, one to support my usual “You don’t want to be on the wrong end of my next snoozagram.” I stand by it fully:
You will likely never come across a yacht that comes as close to as-new condition as Karinneh.
Here is her Yachtworld listing:

I’m off to Europe tomorrow to meet with my builders. I’m back sometime between June 3rd and the 5th. Launch a flare, and I will launch all boats.
Promise!
