Arcadia Yachts, the innovative and unique “eco-friendly” Italian shipyard, announced the world debut of Arcadia 85S, the all-new “special” edition of the Arcadia 85 with sky- lounge, at the next Cannes Yachting Festival (September, 6th to 11th). After the delivery to its American Owner last May, Arcadia 85 hull#1 will be ready for sea trials and international media visits in Cote d’Azur. Arcadia 85S is designed to be a family yacht, which combines different exterior functions – actually over two decks – giving guests more possibility to spend time together while interiors profit by the advanced aesthetic sensation of “open space” and closer contact with nature thanks to the the full “floor-to-ceiling” windows. The uniqueness of Arcadia’s project stays in the design solution to integrate solar panels into a yacht with high navigation performance. Arcadia 85S features on this “special edition” a new sky-lounge concept, convertible into a sheltered third-deck, completely closed and protected by 360 degree openable windows that can be raised up to meet the hard-top, exactly as it happens for the cars. Studies were implemented by Arcadia’s technical department prior to adopting the NPL as Arcadia’s hull, resulting in excellent sea keeping qualities and noise reduction, for exceptional comfort. This advanced hull, together with the light Arcadia superstructure, allows very satisfactory performance with low-power engines. It significantly reduces fuel consumption and related running costs compared to other yachts of similar dimensions. The most advanced technological research and the best Italian creativity generate innovative and efficient solutions which define a new “sustainable” frontier in yachting. As Arcadia Yachts philosophy is “Ecothink”, so the future of yachting is a little greener every day.
