On Deck

Nick begins the tour from the yacht’s transformer, a versatile feature at the stern. This lifting section can serve multiple purposes: it can lift a tender, convert into steps for easy water access, or act as a walkway from the quay. Moving forward, Nick draws attention to the expansive outdoor living area that resembles a beach club, complete with sunbeds near the water. The deck is practical and spacious, featuring deep, wide walkways and thick wall boxes instead of stainless steel rails for added security and aesthetic appeal.

The raised outdoor space, which could be considered a flybridge or upper deck, offers privacy from passers-by when docked. This area can be fitted with a bimini for shade, and it elevates guests above the quay, providing a more exclusive and removed atmosphere. The space is equipped with poles ready for the bimini installation, and Nick points out the satellite domes, radar, and navigation lights situated on the top.

Interior

Inside, the yacht defies typical design norms with a lobby that leads to both upper and lower levels instead of the usual saloon area. The dining area has been updated with sliding doors to enclose the space, offering flexibility for all weather conditions. The saloon on the upper deck is characterized by its open layout and solar panel-integrated ceiling, a signature Arcadia feature. The galley has been enlarged to offer more functionality and includes a larger hob, oven, sink, and refrigeration units, all illuminated by a significant skylight.

The helm, situated at the front, boasts a futuristic design with a large wheel reminiscent of a racing yacht. It’s equipped with multifunction displays for navigation and ship systems, engine instrumentation, and hard button switch panels. The helm area also includes blinds for added privacy and shade.

Accommodation

Owner's Cabin

The owner's cabin, the largest on the yacht, is equipped with a dressing table, settee, significant storage, and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom with twin sinks and a frosted door. The cabin features a big, low bed, and a TV is integrated into the design, ensuring comfort and convenience.

Guest Accommodation

Descending into the lower deck, Nick explores the accommodation. The spacious VIP guest cabin features ample storage and an en-suite bathroom featuring an illuminated rainfall shower. There are two further guest cabins, each with twin beds, hull windows, hanging lockers, and ensuite bathrooms. The ceiling finish in these cabins is noted for its contemporary design.

Crew Accommodation

The crew area has seen improvements, with an additional crew cabin added. This space includes a single bed and an en-suite bathroom, providing more comfort and functionality for the crew. The forward crew cabin is equipped with two beds and an en-suite bathroom with a separate shower.

Performance

In the engine room, Nick showcases the Volvo Penta IPS 1350 engines, each potentially offering around 1,000 horsepower. These engines allow the yacht to reach a top speed of 23 knots with a cruising speed of 20 knots. The range can extend up to 1400 nautical miles depending on speed. The engine room is spacious and well-organized, featuring a generator and other essential equipment.

In Summary

Nick appreciates the Arcadia Sherpa 80 for its focus on outdoor living and modern design. The updates, such as the enlarged galley, added crew space, and flexible dining area, enhance the yacht's functionality. The engine room and technical specifications promise robust performance, making it a compelling choice for yacht enthusiasts. Nick finds the design choices and improvements interesting.
