This time last year, Dutch shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/429" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ICON Yachts (Company)">ICON Yachts</a> unveiled the 70-metre conversion superyacht Project Master. Today the shipyard has revealed its next conversion, the 70-metre conversion superyacht Project Ufo, which features exterior design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/252" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Murray & Associates L.L.C.

In terms of interior spaces, she will be able to accommodate up to 18 guests for private operations, with dual master suites that open to each side and three VIP suites which can be converted into six staterooms with sliding dividing walls.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243053/image/large-f524d1934fea4e8a88c0b7e8f0db2056.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243053"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243054/image/large-5b250e07823b5d71923345d0ecd8d92f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243054">Other top features include a 10-metre outdoor pool, a gym and spa area, a 12 seater Jacuzzi on the main deck, an expedition preparation room with a custom diving centre and a 4-metre transom. She will carry a 12-metre sportfisher, a 12-metre tender, a 6-metre landing craft, a wakeboard tender, a rescue tender and a full host of toys for on-water activities.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243057/image/large-ad2158380b6dc2884ebbeecb387c3af8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243057">The latest project was born at last year's <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2022">Monaco Yacht Show</a> during a brain storming session between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/429" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ICON Yachts (Company)">ICON</a> the client. The meeting discussed the pros and potentials of conversions, and began to explore the idea of an explorer yacht that built on the earlier concepts of <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/espen-oeino" target="_blank">Espen Øino</a>'s Project Master. Aiming to build a family-style explorer with long range capabilities, <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/icon" target="_blank">ICON</a> began to investigate potential conversion yachts around 60-75-metres. During this phase, a 66m Offshore Rescue and Support Vessel came into focus and after extensive research the shipyard confirmed it to be the favourite potential platform for this conversion project.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243050/image/large-83deb6df07317c769deddb2bbebf5133.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243050"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243051/image/large-9ccd846e5ca18471d4fa160749d9887b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243051">After a series of in-depth pre-purchase surveys, analyses and inspections, and testing various general arrangements, the platform vessel arrived at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/429" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ICON Yachts (Company)">ICON Yachts</a> in Harlingen. Onboard during the crossing, the future captain and further members of the owner’s team were able to convince themselves of the incredible capability and stability of the platform. The overall design and general arrangement is close to final and a full team are working closely on the project. The platform is currently safely berthed alongside the quay at <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/icon" target="_blank">ICON</a> where the yard is engaged in the modification phase during which the sections and areas of the interior that are no longer required are being dismantled, ready for future construction.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243048/image/large-8ed797f7bdf432e11fc3771ac7d81ba5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243048">In September of last year the Dutch shipyard changed ownership, and was acquired by Swiss businessman, Micca Ferrero. Of the venture he commented at the time, “<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/icon" target="_blank">ICON Yachts</a> is a highly specialised shipyard for yacht conversion and refit projects. It is a great honour to join such a strong team, constantly striving for Dutch excellence. Our new projects will also shape the future of yachting.”

The famed Abloh signature now features across the yacht's profile with long flowing letterings and can be found in the small detailing inside the vessel. Virgil Abloh brought Scott Free’s initials together so that they twist and turn endlessly. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218361/image/large-4c420f6ca1af6708740d8755243a50df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218361"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218694/image/large-ca3997ab007424a27f2a55b4a637e52e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218694">The extensive eight-month, multi-million Euro refit is being directed by the Florida-based interior design firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6635" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yacht Next (Company)">Yacht Next</a>.

Her previous owner designed her exterior spaces with suntanning in mind, so there were lots of loungers and sunpads, but not enough seating areas for her new owner,” Lockhart explained.“Before the 2021 summer season, we tackled the sky lounge as the existing room was artistic in style but not practical enough. It was important to us, and the owner, that the yacht had a lounge area that was ultra-comfortable, stylish and timeless. We chose artisanal Italian materials throughout, following a strict grey, cognac and off white colour scheme.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218695/image/large-36abd00d12871ea2f473a9ffa839e1dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218695">“It was following this refit that Virgil Abloh and his family chartered the yacht and they had a wonderful time. The family was full of praise for the crew, the experience, and the yacht herself. They loved their chartering vacation. So much so in fact that when Virgil Abloh heard that she was heading to Germany to complete her refit in the coming months he offered, in appreciation of his experience onboard, to design the new logo for the boat. He presented the logo in all different forms and, of course, everyone loved them. The Virgil Abloh branding will be found throughout the yacht, tastefully and with sophistication.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218700/image/large-a98301c0167e08a15a287318a77b80a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218700"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218699/image/large-0b45c8cfade86568e02959cf914260a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218699"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1764" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Scott Free60.0m (196'10&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen2009">Scott Free</a> is now back with her builder, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a>, where the second stage of her refit is being completed.
