Organized by the French magazine France Yachts, the World Yachts Trophies celebrate and recognize every year the best innovations in luxury yachts from the previous season. The award ceremony took place on Saturday, September 10, 2016 in picturesque setting of the Carlton Hotel in Cannes. On this prestigious occasion, in the presence of the most important names in international yachting arena, Arcadia Sherpa was awarded the title of "Most Innovative Yacht" in the "Boats from 50 to 80 feet" category. What better way to end the 39th edition of the International Cannes Boat Show, which saw Arcadia Yachts shipyard protagonist with three new models: the world debut of Arcadia 100 and 85S, and the launch of Sherpa.
SHERPA has an overall length of 17,70m with a width/beam of 5,60m, even more marked by the concept of "open space" of the aft cockpit to which Arcadia has accustomed us since its debut. A compact size able to confirm all of the key factors of bigger yachts available in the range of the yard (internal/external areas and volumes, high-performance efficient hull, minimalist and neat interiors). SHERPA can be perfectly compared to much larger boats (65 ft) for her LWL (16,10m) and beam (5,60m).
The efficient length/width ratio given by the specific NPL hull is another factor that contributes to the unbelievable volumes of the yacht, and, at the same time, it’s certainly a winning factor for potential customers oriented towards yachts of this size.
Sherpa is the natural evolution of Arcadia fleet towards reduced size boats. This amazing small yacht manages to keep integral in only 58 feet the vision and features that make each Arcadia yacht different from the rest of its competitors, having also given to the volumes on board a new concept of distribution, aimed at putting forth areas more used by guests, such as the stern cockpit, the living area, and cabins.
