From the board of Dutch-based superyacht design team Guido de Groot Design, the new Glacier 48 C (Cabin) from Latvian aluminium specialist yacht builder BIC Aluminium is one of the most striking new vessels to be launched in recent seasons. Combining near-perfect ergonomics and aesthetics with market-leading aluminium construction, more commonly found in superyachts, the 48 C offers superyacht build with modern sportsboat performance. Powered by twin Volvo IPS800 drives, the 48 C boasts performance potential well in excess of 30 knots with an effortless and economical 20 knot cruise.

FILIPP’OK is the most comprehensively equipped Glacier 48 launched to date and is configured for effortless all-weathers cruising with versatile accommodation below decks to accommodate family and friends.
