Arcadia A115 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the A115 delivers speeds of up to 16 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Arcadia A115 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Arcadia A115 and Extra Yachts X115, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The A115 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a dressing table is a standout. The Cantiere delle Marche RJ 115 and Horizon FD110 Skyline, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 12 guests in 5 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Arcadia A115 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 14 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The Arcadia A115 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Riva 112 DolceVita Super which has an impressive cruising speed of 23 knots powered by its twin 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and can reach a top speed of 25 knots. This is closely followed by the Arcadia A115 with a notable cruising speed of 16 knots and top speed of 18 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Cantiere delle Marche RJ 115 impresses with its extensive range of 5,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Horizon FD110 Skyline allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Riva 112 DolceVita Super is especially impressive, with a top speed of 25 knots and cruising speed of 23 knots.
