Sherpa, the new entry level model by Arcadia Yachts made its debut last January 2016 during the Boot Dusseldorf.

Ugo Pellegrino – President of Arcadia Yachts remarks with satisfaction: “Once again Arcadia Yachts has been able to surprise by launching for the first time something novel. A ‘small/large yacht’ with a futuristic design still missing in the array of products offered in the yachting arena. A smart and compact boat, which, thanks to her characteristics in relation to her size, also opens up to all those fans of the big and over-powered day-cruiser. SHERPA represents an alternative solution for those ones who prefer the tranquillity of cruising at 18-20 knots. SHERPA is for those ones who consider low consumption an added value, not a lack of power performances. SHERPA is for those ones who want to enjoy and have their guests enjoy the luxury of large convivial outdoor area, or the serene conversations on comfortable sofas during cruising, protected by a large awning.”
The production of SHERPA is part of the recent extension of Arcadia Yachts’ GRP range. Together with the Arcadia 100 (presently under construction), the yard’s GRP family line is as follows: SHERPA – ARCADIA 85 – ARCADIA 85S – ARCADIA 100 – ARCADIA 115. All models are built using dedicated molds, one for each model.
