Arcadia 100

Light and efficiency combine to set apart the latest yacht from Arcadia.
  • By Jason Y. Wood

Arcadia 100

Superyacht design drives what recreational boaters see in all segments of the market. So it may be smart to pay attention to what Arcadia is doing with its new 100.

Arcadia 100

Arcadia uses design to bring together onboard comfort and cruising efficiency
in ways that will make knowledgeable boaters stop and think.

Arcadia 100

Powered by a pair of 1,000-horsepower MAN diesels, the Arcadia 100 offers a range of more than 1,000 miles at cruising speeds of nearly 14 knots.

With that powerplant, this 101-footer tops out at better than 16 knots.

Some may consider the combination of structures seemingly made of glass, angular design, and traditional boatbuilding elements such as the foredeck planking with contrasting caulking, to be an odd juxtaposition,
but when you step aboard, it just works.

Arcadia 100

The way the design team uses artificial and natural light is especially striking in the forward, main-deck master, where a grid of photo-voltaic cells in the glass overhead produces a dappled grid pattern in sunlight.

The long, wide hardtop over the cockpit offers welcome shelter from too-bright sunshine and pouring-down rain.

The flying bridge has the same effect, with all-around views from its elevated position.
Those windows can power up when a full enclosure is desired.

The helm has a ship-like feel—spaceship, that is.

While her look is not for everyone, there’s a certain beauty conferred by her thoughtful design.

The onboard spaces welcome your family and friends with an easy grace.

Dedicated lounging and dining areas in the main saloon are framed by unimpeded views.

Seabreezes and sophistication come together in the formal dining area.

Nothing is forgotten in the details, such as the tactile experience of using these companionway stairs.

The starboard VIP stateroom welcomes treasured guests with expansive space and fine finishes.

Huge hullside windows only add to the feel of the VIP with its excellent use of light.

Arcadia 100

Even the double cabins hew to the design on the Arcadia 100, albeit in a smaller format.

On Hull No. 1, all belowdecks head compartments offer similar levels of opulence in the guest quarters.

Arcadia 100

With a proud bow and angular shape, the Arcadia 100 feels like an explorer yacht poised to take us into the future.

Arcadia 100

And when she gets there, she’ll undoubtedly fit right in.

A side profile shot of a modern, white Sunseeker 82 Ocean luxury motor yacht cruising at speed across open water. The vessel features striking black-tinted window bands along its multi-deck hull and a black hardtop structure over its upper deck flybridge. It kicks up a substantial white spray and wake as it glides under a soft pink, purple, and gold sunset sky, with a British Red Ensign flag flying from the stern.

Sunseeker 82 Ocean

A medium shot from inside an enclosed boat helm station featuring a smiling, bearded man sitting at the steering wheel. He is looking off to the right, wearing blue-mirrored sunglasses, a blue baseball cap underneath a grey beanie, and a hooded blue digital-camouflage jacket. Large glass windows and an overhead skylight panel surround the cabin, offering a view out over choppy water toward a distant, tree-lined shoreline under a bright sky.

Charter Ready, Life Proof

An aerial, high-angle three-quarter shot of a white center-console power catamaran cruising through green water, leaving a foaming white wake behind its twin hulls. Two men are on board, with the driver at the helm station beneath a black T-top canopy. The boat features tan upholstered seating, including an open bow lounge area and a rear-facing cockpit bench. The aft deck is finished with a light brown faux-teak swim platform extension flanking twin black outboard engines.

Volare Artemis 23

A low-angle, three-quarter view from the water looking up at a white Invictus ST55 luxury motor yacht idling on calm blue seas. A couple sits relaxing on the spacious aft sunpad deck outside the enclosed main cabin, which features dark tinted windows and black radar domes on the roof. The yacht's modern design includes a fold-down bulwark terrace extended on the starboard side just above the waterline, set against a bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds.
