It’s something of an evolution of the species: Arcadia Yachts has unveiled its second Sherpa XL, leaving the world enchanted by it. In collaboration with Milan-based design company Hot Lab, the shipyard has optimised the ergonomics on board to ensure the best levels of service and comfort. The new Sherpa XL, with its enclosed volumes at the bow, allows the owner and his guests to enjoy spaces that can be opened up at the stern. In this way, Arcadia achieves a single area in which the various functions are always connected to each other, to ensure guests can experience the boat as a whole.
The bow decks are divided. This particular crossing pattern, which achieves large spaces with limited height, has created a much more aerodynamic profile. Its consumption levels, approximately 6.5 l/nm at 12 kN, are almost 30% lower compared to other yachts in the 85-90 ft segment. The estimated range is more than a thousand miles at 12 knots, increasing to over 1400 at a speed of 10 knots.
Large spaces are a highlight on this 24-metre yacht, where full-height windows, ‘open’ and design-rich elements, inserted into the upper parts, and innovative glass panels, which can be raised and lowered like car windows, create zones where the threshold between indoors and out becomes imperceptible, while enclosed spaces dissolve and are absorbed into the surrounding natural environment.
The spacious sunlounge with bar area emphasises the ‘slow yachting’ philosophy
But the youngest in the Arcadia Yachts family has other significant innovative elements. A new layout for the galley focused on the ergonomics of the crew area, materials and essentials. The entrance to the galley is on the side, to emphasise its discretion in the skylounge, but able to serve the aft deck and sunlounge at the same time and quickly and easily.
On the upper deck, the spacious solarium with bar area emphasises the Sherpa-XL’s ‘slow yachting’ philosophy. Unlike traditional deck arrangements, with a wheelhouse, this area is entirely dedicated to guests and their privacy. The sunlounge’s regular format allows possible customisation requests from clients to also be met with regard to loose furnishings.
