Arcadia Yachts has chosen the Cannes Yachting Festival for the world premiere of the A80New, the shipyard’s first Raised Pilot House (RPH) model and a new benchmark in the sub-24-metre motor yacht segment. With an overall length of 23.98 metres, the A80New falls into the “yacht” category and complies with the latest French regulations for the protection of Posidonia Oceanica, allowing unrestricted navigation and anchoring.

Designed to combine sustainability, comfort and liveability, the A80New retains Arcadia’s signature features: generous spaces, seamless indoor-outdoor connections, and a concept of functional luxury centred on the onboard experience. With 131 GT and over 250 m² of living space across three decks, this model redefines liveability standards in its class. The RPH layout ensures a clear separation between technical areas and the owner’s quarters, enhancing privacy and onboard circulation.

The exterior design, featuring sleek lines, full-height windows and the iconic shaded aft patio, preserves the Arcadia family feeling. Folding bulwarks further enlarge the beach area, offering direct contact with the sea. The interiors, inspired by the A96 and Sherpa 80 models, combine informal elegance, soft-touch materials and functional efficiency. The main saloon is bathed in natural light, while the full-beam owner’s suite forward offers volumes comparable to larger yachts. The lower deck houses four guest cabins, all with en-suite bathrooms, reflecting the growing trend towards residential-style layouts.

Crew quarters include two forward cabins with dinette and independent access to the galley, ensuring privacy onboard. Propulsion is provided by Volvo Penta IPS 1200 or 1350 engines, delivering a top speed of 21 knots and a range of over 850 nautical miles at 10 knots. Comfort is enhanced by CMC Marine stabilising fins and a 4.5 kW solar power system, which reduces consumption by up to 25% compared to the market average. The starting price is €6.2 million.
