Arcadia Yachts Prepares A80new and A96new for Monaco Yacht Show
Arcadia Yachts will display two of its latest creations at the 34th Monaco Yacht Show, where around 120 superyachts will be moored in Port Hercule. Following its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the A80new will now appear in Monaco alongside the larger A96new, strengthening the Italian shipyard’s presence on the European yachting stage.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered near Naples, Arcadia Yachts has built a reputation for semi-custom composite yachts that merge artisanal craftsmanship with forward-looking technology and a strong environmental focus. Its current offerings include the A-series (A85, A85s, A105, A115) as well as the Sherpa line, expanded in 2019 with the 24-metre Sherpa XL. The A96new was first unveiled to the public at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival.
A80new: Solar-Powered Comfort Within Mediterranean Limits
Measuring just under 24 metres, the A80new has been carefully designed to comply with Mediterranean restrictions that protect seagrass meadows such as Posidonia oceanica. A raised pilothouse, extensive solar panel coverage, Volvo IPS propulsion, and a CMC Marine electric fin stabilizer are among its defining features.
The main deck offers a seamless indoor-outdoor living area with opening windows, while the upper deck provides nearly 80 m² of versatile space. This includes an open-air aft lounge with movable furnishings, a covered salon convertible for multiple uses, a secondary helm, and a forward section adaptable for dining or sunbathing. At the stern, an adjustable beach platform grants easy water access.
A96new: A 30m Yacht Designed Around Nature
At 30 metres, the A96new features five cabins and has already secured buyers for four hulls. Its layout emphasizes immersion in the natural surroundings, with side and aft openings that bring in abundant light and fresh air, yet allow for full enclosure when conditions call for it.
The design ensures efficient guest and crew circulation, with privacy maintained through separated service routes. Amenities include a fully equipped pantry and the option to add a second day head on the upper deck. This balance of functionality, privacy, and outdoor living highlights the model’s flexible, owner-focused approach.
Sustainability at the Forefront
Both yachts underscore Arcadia’s commitment to reducing environmental impact. On the A80new, the integrated solar panels cut down on generator use at anchor, promoting quieter and more energy-efficient operation. Composite construction and advanced systems reflect the brand’s consistent emphasis on sustainability and innovation.
Presented among a diverse collection of superyachts in Monaco, Arcadia’s models aim to demonstrate how advanced technologies can coexist with comfort, privacy, and reliable seakeeping.
Arcadia’s Ongoing Vision
With the A80new and A96new, Arcadia continues to refine its design philosophy: enhancing onboard lifestyle through convertible open-air spaces while implementing solutions that lower ecological footprint. The A80new brings these ideas into a compact 24-metre form, while the A96new scales them to a 30-metre yacht with expanded layouts and refined guest-service separation.
For brokers, owners, and naval architects attending Monaco, these models showcase how Arcadia unites traditional Italian build quality with forward-looking technologies. They mark the latest step in the shipyard’s steady evolution and its mission to balance performance, sustainability, and liveability.
