Arcadia Yachts launches fourth A96 yacht model in Italy

Italian shipyard Arcadia Yachts has announced the launch of the fourth unit from its 29.3-metre A96 series. 

The launch comes almost a year after the new build's sale was announced in July 2025. According to her builders, she has been highly customised and "bears the strong imprint of the owner’s personality". She is expected to cruise the Mediterranean following delivery this summer. 

Characterised by a structured, three-deck monochrome exterior, the 29.3-metre model was first unveiled in 2022, designed by the yard as a crossover yacht with a focus on championing "holistic wellbeing". 

While the model's exterior styling has been penned in-house, Igor Lobanov is behind the interior design of the fourth unit. The yard previously noted the owner's appreciation for the "lines and dark lacquered surfaces, inspired by Art Deco" seen onboard the first unit, requesting "only a few minor customisations".

Model highlights include a spacious main saloon which can be opened almost entirely, thanks to sliding glass doors on three sides, and an open stern with a large swim platform, lounge space and drop-down bulwarks. In total, the model offers 410 square metres of usable space on board and bounds of natural light across its interiors, the latter of which was "a special focus of the design process".

Particular attention has also been given to the model's low draught of 1.8 metres, allowing for easy access to shallow harbours and secluded bays. 

“A96 perfectly embodies our concept of Arcadian Living,” commented Ugo Pellegrino, founder and CEO of Arcadia Yachts. “A life on board where nature, privacy and movement coexist in a balance that offers the freedom to enjoy your time and space in the most authentic and mindful way possible. For this fourth A96, exchanging ideas with the owner has produced a design with a strong sense of identity, one that truly reflects his personal approach to experiencing the sea.”

The A96 is also equipped with solar panels, providing between eight to nine hours of power in silent mode. Four Volvo IPS engines will deliver a top speed of 24 knots and a range of 600 nautical miles at 16 knots.

Arcadia Yachts launched the first unit in its A80new series – the first RPH (raised pilothouse) design from the Italian builders – in September last year.
