Arcadia Yachts has unveiled the A80new, a 78-foot yacht that the shipyard says demonstrates its “intention to foster the most sustainable approach possible.”
The yacht is a widebody design with five staterooms, including a master on the main deck. There also are quarters for four crew forward to enhance everyone’s privacy, and an upper deck with more than 860 square feet of surface area.
Solar panels are part of the design, as is natural wood for the interiors. The solar panels, according to Arcadia, create a 98 percent increase in efficiency per square meter on board compared to the brand’s early years. Arcadia says that when it comes to fuel consumption, the A80new is below market average by 12 percent at a speed of 12 knots, and by 27 percent at a speed of 15 knots. Power is Volvo Penta IPS1350s, and standard stabilization is CMC Marine electric fins.
The A80new is also Arcadia’s first raised pilothouse yacht. Aft, there’s a beach area with a liftable platform and side wings that extend. Forward, the bow area can transform for use as a table or a sunbathing area.
Inside, artificial lighting includes dimmable LEDs that Arcadia says “create a more natural atmosphere, as well as consuming less energy and making it possible to create different moods according to the situation and the time of day.”
The yacht also has a garage that houses tenders and sports gear.
