Arcadia Yachts launches third A80 in less than two months with bespoke owner-led design

Arcadia Yachts has launched the third hull of its A80 model, the Italian shipyard’s third yacht to splash in less than two months following the delivery of a second A80 and the launch of an A96 earlier this summer.

This latest A80 was developed through the shipyard’s Arcadia Bespoke programme for repeat owners with extensive cruising experience. While retaining the core design and architecture of the 24-metre A80, first introduced at Cannes in September 2025, this latest hull incorporates a wide range of owner-specific features.

Among the most distinctive elements is a bespoke Maine blue colour scheme, created exclusively for the yacht and applied across exterior detailing, outdoor furniture and interior accents.

Inside, the main deck saloon has white parquet flooring, leather-clad walls and furnishings from Italian design brands. While custom lacquer finishes and bespoke leather selections were developed specifically for this project. The A80 yacht also features electrically operated interior doors more commonly found on larger yachts.

The owner’s interest in cooking and food means the galley has been designed as a central living space with a customised layout, complete with selected appliances and Maine blue laminated glass cabinetry.

Within the owner’s suite, there is a bespoke, artisan-made bed, custom-designed carpets inspired by the movements of the sea, vintage mirrors and selected artwork. On the lower deck, Bardiglio Nuvolato marble has been used for flooring, cladding and washbasin units.

Additional owner-led features include a dedicated chart table and flag locker at the helm, reflecting the owner’s long-standing cruising experience and preference for traditional navigation elements.

Commenting on the A80 project, Ugo Pellegrino, founder and CEO of Arcadia Yachts, says the yacht demonstrates the shipyard’s ability to translate highly personalised owner requirements into a finished yacht while maintaining the identity of the A80 platform. He explains: “Working with owners who have such an intimate knowledge of the sea is a valuable experience, because it means we can build a dialogue based on listening, trust and shared expertise.

“We have worked with them over the years in a process that has involved the entire Arcadia team, helping us to gain an ever-better understanding of their on-board lifestyle. This A80 is the result of our ability to turn an extremely personal vision into a real-world project, featuring fine detailing but without losing the identity of the model and the shipyard,” adds Pellegrino.

Accommodation is for up to 10 guests across five cabins, including a main-deck owner’s suite, and it boasts one of the largest upper decks in its class. The model also has Arcadia’s sustainability-focused technologies, including integrated solar panels and systems designed to improve efficiency.

The A80 launch continues Arcadia Yachts’ recent production momentum, with three yachts launching in under two months.
