ARCADIA A80

Arcadia Yachts is using the Cannes show to launch its first ever raised pilothouse model, and while it might look similar to the A96, the idea is to offer more cruising freedom.

What that means in real terms is a more versatile layout. By relocating the main helm position to a raised pilothouse, the space liberated on the main deck can be allocated to other uses. A long superstructure and a wide-body design creates even more usable volume. Most people will choose to spec that forward space as a main deck owner's cabin, but with four ensuite cabins on the lower deck plus a couple of crew cabins in the bow, the front end of the main deck could deliver an equal amount of drama as a panoramic day space instead.
