Aicon Yachts , a symbol of luxury and excellence in the international nautical panorama, shone again this year at the Cannes Yachting Festival , proudly presenting the new Audace 50 model .

There is a lot of Sicily in this award, because the company “Aicon Yachts” is based in Giammoro , a coastal hamlet of Pace del Mela in the Province of Messina . Therefore Sicilian excellence and a bet won by the owner, the American entrepreneur, Marc-Udo Broich .

The one who bet and believed in Sicily, despite the difficulties and bureaucracy that would scare anyone in the business world. Instead he was the exception, he had the ability and the correctness to keep the promises made in his time by creating a cutting-edge shipyard to build niche boats for VIPs from all over the world who are passionate about sailing and this alone would be enough to make the men of the local institutions reflect. Marc goes forward with stubbornness and then, almost quietly with the humility that distinguishes him, and the award received in Cannes, is the right consecration for the work done up to now.
