The Campania-based shipyard has delivered two new yachts to the two foreign owners – a Sherpa 60 in Spain and a Sherpa 80 in Turkey.
Sherpa 60
Sherpa 60 is a refined 18.67-meter yacht with a layout that prioritizes the conviviality of the aft cockpit, which at 5.6 meters wide and with a surface area of 55 sq. m is rightly described as a water’s edge terrace. The shipyard has designed various different configurations for this boat depending on the intended use. At the owner’s request, this unit has a totally new layout with three cabins, including the owner’s cabin in the bow, and two bathrooms (one for the master suite). The yacht’s long-range cruising proved by two Volvo Penta IPS 600 units (or alternatively two IPS 700 or 800 units), delivering a cruising speed of 17 knots and a top speed of 22 knots with the maximum engine configuration available.

The boat will soon be cruising around the Balearic Islands, not least thanks to the work of Isabella Moncada of Moncada Yachts, who contributed her insights into the customer’s wish list and acted as an intermediary with the shipyard.
Sherpa 80
The sale of the Sherpa 80 was brokered by Tezmarine, the Brand Representative for Turkey and a consolidated partner of the Campania-based shipyard. With a length of 24 meters and 7 meters in the beam, the yacht stands out primarily for a total liveable surface area of 220 sq. m and the almost 65 sq. m cockpit with a direct access to the stern platform. The cockpit offers the possibility of installing solutions in the dining room involving sliding glass and air conditioning. The interior design, developed in tandem with the owners and Milan-based firm Hot Lab, achieves seamless continuity with the exteriors, featuring refined furnishings and decor characterized by a pared-down style and a discreet sense of elegance.

As always, the hull and propulsion system were designed in parallel to optimize performance in terms of both consumption and comfort. Sherpa 80 has a top speed of over 23 knots and a range of 1,400 nautical miles at 10 knots.
“These deliveries are just one of various factors at play in a truly hectic period for us,” said Ugo Pellegrino, Arcadia Yachts owner. “Soon we will also be presenting the new A96, confirming our desire to bring even more innovation to the sector and responding to the evolving concept of well-being that we’ve identified in many owners. Work on the A96 continues at a sustained pace and the yacht will be given its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival.”
Arcadia Yachts is based in Naples, Italy. Since 2008, Arcadia Yachts has been building semi-custom luxury composite yachts and has succeeded in perfectly integrating artisanal craftsmanship, modern technologies, attention to detail and to the surrounding environment. The Arcadia Yachts fleet has included two ranges since September 2016. The shipyard’s first and most characterizing range is the A range, which includes four models (A85, A85s, A105 and A115). The Sherpa range has a new model, the 24m Sherpa XL, which was launched at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival. The new model, A96, will debut at 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival.
