Arcadia Sherpa 80 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the Sherpa 80 has won 1 award, most recently for "Most Innovative Yacht (under 24m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the Sherpa 80 delivers speeds of up to 23 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Arcadia Sherpa 80 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Princess X80 and Arcadia A85 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 10 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The Sherpa 80 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and full-standing headroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Bluegame BGX73 and Wally wallywhy100 are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 6 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Arcadia Sherpa 80 delivers a steady 20 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess X80 with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots or the Bluegame BGX73 with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Arcadia Sherpa 80 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Arcadia A85, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Horizon FD75 impresses with its extensive range of 2,289 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Extra Yachts X76 Loft and Pardo Yachts E72 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess X80 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots. The Wally WHY150 has an impressive gross tonnage of 148GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Arcadia Sherpa 80 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
