Original owner, built with project manager, and spec'd for US cruising. As one of the Classic series by Vicem, the 85’ ESSENCE OF CAYMAN has the heart of a Downeast style yacht, blended with the modern form and function so well-known by the shipyard. Appointed to high standards, the yacht features two salons bathed in rich wood – on the main deck, and the lower deck – and accommodates 6 guests in 3 exquisite staterooms. Her king master suite features a seating area and vanity, a large walk-in wardrobe, and a full-beam en suite. Two twin guest staterooms feature their own en suite, as well as the same beautiful wood treatment found throughout the vessel.
A large main aft deck is ideal for al fresco meals, entertaining, and relaxing, and features an icemaker, fridge, and wet bar. From here, guests may enter the yacht into the main salon, while easy access to the water is aft.
