ICC by Beneteau

The Beneteau ICC—short for Island Cruising Concept—is a prototype-driven vision of what summer cruising could look like when comfort and sustainability are treated as design drivers, not constraints.

The concept blends hybrid propulsion with solar contribution to reduce fuel consumption and extend quiet, low-speed operation—ideal for moving between bays, ports, and anchorages without the usual noise and emissions footprint. It’s a boat designed for a different rhythm: short passages, frequent swims, long lunches, and evenings at anchor.

Architecturally, the ICC focuses on outdoor living. The idea is to maximize usable apartment-like space on a single level, with easy water access and zones that encourage social use rather than corridor-style circulation. The result is closer to a floating holiday terrace than a traditional motoryacht layout.

As a concept, ICC matters because it’s not just new styling—it’s a systems-and-usage rethink aimed at making boating more accessible, more comfortable, and materially more efficient for the way many people actually cruise.
