Based in the Gulf of Sorrento near Naples, Italy, Arcadia Yachts specialises in semi-custom GRP composite motor yachts ranging from 18 to 32 metres. Founded in 2008 by industry executives Ugo Pellegrino and Francesco Guida, Arcadia Yachts is known for its focus on building more environmentally responsible yachts.
A relatively newcomer to the yachting industry, Arcadia Yachts launched its debut model, the Arcadia 85 Solar, at Boot Düsseldorf in 2010. Measuring 25.9 metres in length, this model features incorporated solar panels and hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, allowing for silent cruising at eight knots. The shipyard went on to subsequently expand its range with the Arcadia 115 in 2012 and the Arcadia 105, further cementing its reputation for taking a more eco-conscious approach to yacht design. In 2018, Arcadia Yachts launched its Sherpa range, starting with the 18-metre Sherpa 60, followed by the 24-metre Sherpa 80 XL in 2020. Arcadia Yachts also offers refit services and customisation programmes outside of new builds.
The shipyard’s current portfolio includes three series: the A Essence collection, featuring the award-winning A85, A105, and A115 models. The A80New represents the shipyard’s first Raised Pilot House configuration, while the Sherpa series includes the Sherpa 60 and Sherpa 80 XL variants designed with extended cruising in mind.
