Arcadia Yachts unveiled its new project – the A96. A96 has been designed not only to be the ultimate representation of wellbeing on the water in the 90 to 100-foot segment, but also to offer three pluses in terms of volume, top speed (up to 24 knots with the optional motorization) and usable surface area totalling more than 400 sq. m. Over 29 meters long and almost 8 meters in the beam, the yacht offers daytime living spaces that can be adapted to satisfy every need and a night area with five cabins. The propulsion system with four Volvo Penta IPS 1.200 units delivers maneuverability, long range, low emissions and acoustic comfort. Upper LoungeThe shallow draught and the limited size of the engines, which allowed the engine room in compliance with the increasingly stringent emission regulations standards, make A96 a yacht that can cruise in any waters.Main saloonThe settings establish an ongoing dialogue between interior and exterior, with huge transparent sliding doors and windows that can be opened to let nature in, quite literally as a beloved guest. Master cabinThe spaces are flooded with natural light and immersed in the sounds and scents of the sea, becoming at one with the surroundings.Upper LoungeThe interior is made by Igor Lobanov, who was asked by the yard to decorate the settings with natural and where possible eco-friendly materials, opting for a design with soft lines and furnishings that are pleasing to the touch. Upper BowThe optional silent mode system rated over 100kWh, powered in part by the solar panels, provides up to 8–9 hours in silent mode on board at night, while the cabins offer guests the possibility of setting the temperature and taking advantage of a quiet-running air-conditioning solution that delivers a uniform temperature in each individual area, ensuring a good night’s sleep.

Azimut has been investing in research for over ten years to develop innovative solutions that reduce the environmental impact of its boats and was the first brand to believe in POD propulsion systems. Drawing on its extensive experience, the Yard developed the new Large POD 4600 propulsion system for the Grande 26M in partnership with ZF. The system, combined with a 30% lighter superstructure achieved through the extensive use of carbon fiber, delivers 20% lower fuel consumption at the most frequent speeds. Main saloonThe PODs pivot, eliminating the need for a rudder and the associated drag to achieve unrivaled performance for maneuvering and reaching high speeds, and the Grande 26M accelerates effortlessly to 28 knots. CockpitCompared with the POD systems already available on the market, the new ZF POD 4600 system was developed to increase efficiency on larger boats for the first time, with top speeds between 20 and 30 knots. An additional benefit of the system is higher torque at low speeds for easier maneuvering. External ViewGrande 26M has a five cabins configuration, including the full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck, and completely separated guest and crew flows. She also features the huge flybridge – 50 sq. m all on the same level. Owner SuiteThe Deck2Deck™ Terrace, the first of its kind created using a transom extension system.
