A majority of the shareholdings of Dutch shipyard, ICON Yachts, and its related companies, have been acquired by Swiss businessman, Micca Ferrero.
Of his latest venture into the superyacht industry, Ferrero commented, “ICON Yachts 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 the Dutch excellence. Our new projects will also shape the future of yachting.”
