Arcadia Yachts Launches Two Boats
The Italian shipyard has launched Hull No. 3 of the A105 and Hull No. 16 of the A85.
Arcadia Yachts in Italy has launched two vessels: Hull No. 3 of the A105, and Hull No. 16 of the A85.
The A105 is expected to go into charter, spending summers in the Mediterranean and winters in the Caribbean. For that reason, the interior layout was adapted compared with previous models. This version has four staterooms and a sitting room forward that converts to an extra guest space with a sofa bed.
No details were released about the A85, other than that the owner is Italian.
When will Arcadia have these yachts on display? Both hulls are expected to be at the Cannes Yachting Festival this autumn, when the builder also is scheduled to premiere its Sherpa XL.
