Arcadia Yachts has introduced a significant new model in the competitive sub-24-metre segment with the launch of the Arcadia A80, its first Raised Pilothouse (RPH) motoryacht. Debuting in 2025, the A80 represents a clear evolution of the Italian shipyard’s eco-luxury philosophy, combining advanced sustainability solutions with generous living spaces and long-range cruising capability.
Measuring 23.98 metres in length with a beam of 6.95 metres, the A80 makes full use of its wide-body configuration to deliver exceptional volume while remaining compliant with under-24-metre regulations. The yacht’s exterior design is immediately recognisable as “Arcadia”, with clean architectural lines, extensive glazing, and a strong emphasis on seamless indoor-outdoor living.
One of the highlights is the expansive upper deck, offering around 80 square metres of flexible space for sunbathing, socialising, or alfresco dining. Aft, the main deck features Arcadia’s signature shaded patio, connected to a generous beach area with fold-down bulwarks that expand the usable space and enhance direct contact with the sea.
Inside, the Arcadia A80 delivers a layout more commonly associated with larger yachts. The full-beam owner’s suite is positioned forward on the main deck, benefiting from panoramic windows, abundant natural light, and a quiet, private atmosphere. The lower deck accommodates four guest cabins—two VIP and two twin cabins—each with en-suite bathrooms and residential-style showers, making the yacht equally suited to private ownership or charter use.
Crew accommodation is designed with operational efficiency in mind, offering two forward cabins for four crew members, private facilities, and a dedicated dinette. Separate circulation ensures guest privacy while supporting smooth service onboard.
Power comes from Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, with options including IPS 1200 or IPS 1350 units. Top speed is expected to reach up to 21 knots, while range exceeds 850 nautical miles at 10 knots, supporting extended cruising plans.
True to Arcadia’s eco-mission, the A80 features advanced solar panels capable of generating up to 4.5 kW of energy, significantly reducing generator use at anchor. Fuel consumption is claimed to be 15–25% lower than comparable yachts at typical cruising speeds, further reinforcing the A80’s position as a sustainability benchmark in its class.
