The A96 was unveiled in 2023, and now number four is afloat. And these 29 metres were built almost as a one-off; the collaboration between the owner and the shipyard based near Pompeii was unusually close and went into almost every detail.
In its segment, the yacht is regarded as a benchmark for space and quality of life that is otherwise only offered by larger formats. The total area is 410 square metres, of which 140 square metres are on the upper deck - the largest in its class. With the side decks open, the aft cockpit offers almost 90 square metres. This openness reinforces a maximum width of just under eight metres. Space available for 29 metres
Shallow water, great freedom
With a draught of just 1.77 metres, the A96 can sail and anchor in shallow waters, allowing it to travel to remote bays that remain inaccessible to deeper-draft vessels. Cruising speed: 19 to 20 knots, top speed: 23 to 24 knots.
"The A96 perfectly embodies our concept of Arcadian Living," says Ugo Pellegrino, founder and CEO of Arcadia Yachts. It is about a life on board in which nature, privacy and travelling exist in absolute balance.
