I was actually gasping when I see the design of this because my first thought is Bahamas, Caribbean with all the small islands. Whilst I am still NOT ready to put 💰 down on anything just yet, I will definitely keep this in the watch list. This is absolutely a great vessel. Thank you as always. ❤
Boat prices are going to fall. Have been falling, but I know quite a few brokers and they are waiting for the bottom to drop. They all know it's coming, but take whatever you have and put it aside then wait. Also look at St. Barths, Lazzara, SARP, Arksen, and Ava yachts. Depending on what you are looking for, these are great explorer yachts with an eye towards eco-friendly designs.
And yes.,,,I know you know who those brands are. Lol. I'm just hearing that because those are smaller brands, they'll take the hit first and lower prices.
Only time will tell if the looks will become classic or quirky, looks a little like a "canal barage" that aside there are plenty of innovation that should attract buyers, like the solar panels intergrated as a natural light source, this must be a technique that will be more common place in the future. Nice job guys
The boar looks like a modern version of a river steam boar from jungle cruise, not so pretty. But i love the indoor space and the full beam VIP & owner cabins. That’s what sold it for me, great info and photage of the yacht. TYVM
Agreed, I thought it was funny how he said, “eco friendly”. Lol it’s a yacht, making those panels does more damage to the planet than they are useful. They do look slick.
Like the design. And I have to say the first "classic" (monohull) yacht I have seen wherr the builder has integrated solar panels well. Even though I wish they had gone one step further and used electric propulsion with generator support where and as much as needed (hybrid Diesel-electric solution). I understand that purely electric is still not achievable for monohulls (and even Silent Yachts need to use a generator from time to time / for higher speeds).
It wouldn’t be very hard to convert the Vnew MAN diesels to electric hybrid. MAN makes an in-house hybrid marine system and E-motion offers an aftermarket option.
40L/hour for 8 people is 5L per hour per person (at 10knots) driving your sweet mansion through empty blue seas. Or driving a scooter through the city with same consumption.
Uhm... one litre of diesel produces 10 kWh. A fuel consumption of 40 litres means 400 kW per hour. That's 400.000 watt. If one solar panel produces 300 watt you'd need an awful lot of solar panels ;-)
If you think about it, the more interior volume versus external space, the less wear from the environment and elements on the fittings and fixtures. You cut down exposure to sea air, salt spray, rain, UV, sea gulls etc.
Hi David and Ed. Using the solar panels as a roof feature is clever. Full sized vip, master cabin and ensuite. The exterior design is not the norm . . . Unique profile. Great walkthrough as always 😊 thanks
some interesting points but i believe catamarans below 90 ft. are the future for crewed and owner. 80ft hybrid solar large battery storage with sensibly sized engines, dry stack ,keel cooled, doubling as genset. would be about right. above 90 cat or single.
I believe Arcadia yachts is 1 of the hidden gems in the yacht building industry, I particularly love the Arcadia 105. I can understand if its not everyone's cup of tea as its nothing like the traditional yacht build but those who can appreciate a different design will find it hard to choose anything else in its size range.
Congratulations on the your success, I've very much enjoyed your uploads for a while now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to exploring your new channel has to offer. Cheers to you and your team
Great step towards a really green yacht. This is not one by quite a stretch but I like the effort. Nice design I must add. To the builders, careful on your "green claims" sounds and probably is, green-washing 101.
With all the solar panels (I may be wrong, haven’t finished the video) my first thoughts were of a yacht like Wider or was it Wilder? The one that used 4 generators and electric engines. I think a Japanese company bought the line and we haven’t heard much since. The design also has similar design elements. Looks beautiful! ❤
Seems to be a beautiful boat, yet.. for a yacht at that level: is that the right type of anchor? (which perhaps also explains its position throughout the video)
Arcadia was a full breath of fresh and challenging design when it arrived to the market in 2010. Arcadia did there homework and designer Francesco Guida delivered an utilitarian look yet at the same time with a purpose for entertaining. tbh I am just a bit disappointed that the new A96 (coming in 2023) is gonna get a more standardized look versus the other Arcadias including the entry level Sherpa range. But the A85 is a top pocket super yacht (24-30 m size) and that is why they have sold fourteen of them.
Liking it!! However I would be wary of anything that is bought and sold after only a few months (I think that what was said) so an explanation of the current owners thinking would be useful for any potential purchaser. The mention of all the warranty work certainly rings alarm bells. Maybe not the best thing to have said at this stage.
tbh this has happened a lot in Covid 2020-22 times. Most who have money tried yachting (automatic social distancing and all), some got the fast bug and after being cautious already wanna go bigger or different, others found out yachting is not for them. Actually sometimes a used boat even if just one year old gives a better opportunity to go skin deep on the quality of a yacht. Think about this.
I'm undecided on this one. I love the solar panels and the interior decor. The ability to open or close the hatch between the galley and dining area is great. I'm definitely not a fan of this bathroom- in-cabin thing that's rearing it's ugly head more and more. From the outside it looks like a tinted greenhouse on water 😁 also the rust stain on the bow spoils it. Imagine that in a few years and the constant battle to keep it clean. As someone else in the comments said, a Marmite yacht.
It's interesting but, on balance, not in an altogether good way. The more I look at it the more I see 'floating greenhouse' in the styling - not what I'd call a pretty boat. I think elements of the styling will date very quickly, and at that price there are a great many alternatives that I'd rather have if I had €6 million in loose change.
Honest question: How do you go about starting your own yacht-making company? I'm totally unqualified to ask this (I'm a software engineer, I don't make physical objects 😛) but say I won the lottery, and decided I wanted to get into the business... where would one even start?
That editor is good for rave stage mixing, but NOT for this channel - It was hard and painful to watch. Please go back to old format and show us a boat.
You get to travel really slow on a yacht with no A/C, way too bright interiors, rocks like Styrofoam In a wave pool and isn't very attractive. I mean...what is not to like about it? (I don't know why he called it low speed yachting when most explorer yachts travel at 8-10 knots, that's normal speed to people that like these yachts...like me.)
He continued to talk about cruising and low fuel consumption now the 5 million dollar question, What is the range of this vessel using 10 knot speeds and full use of the solar system?
The solar (power) system will do very little for range for this yacht as it only powers the appliances (and a few other systems like AC), there is no electric propulsion. You will "only" save a few liters of Diesel from using the generator less. It would potentially be different if they changed propulsion to a hybrid drive snd added some serious battery capacity to store surplus energy when the boat is not moving and the solar panels are producing more power than needed for appliances. This is not a Silent Yacht or Sunreef Eco with electric propulsion.

Waiting for the moon shot?
I'm ready to put $ down, but I have none.
@@kokomo9764 you can get a really nice boat for like 200k
Quite a few interesting design features on this yacht!
Love the pergola-style, solar-paneled ceilings.
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Gergely I think he is the best broker I ever seen
*What's=app✍️*
I'm from Los Angeles , I and two other of my friends tried him immediately we testified his performing wonders.
This is a beautiful yatch... Very different!!

Side note: I really like your work, David! Btw., when will we see a walkthrough of a Silent 80 (preferrably closed tri-deck ("penthouse") version)? 😉

Yep, what every first time buyer needs, a 85' motor yacht

David, very interesting looking yacht. But designs are constantly changing.
Very nice indeed but that’s a brand new, your own spec Sunseeker 88 money! I know which one I would choose.
Very nice boat. I think I'd have to see those ceiling lights in person to know if I like them or hate them.
Rust stains on the bow isnt a great look for such a young boat
Great step towards a really green yacht. This is not one by quite a stretch but I like the effort. Nice design I must add. To the builders, careful on your "green claims" sounds and probably is, green-washing 101.
I would guess a roof full of solar panels only means you don't need to run the generator when anchored ;-)
Аркаша. )
With all the solar panels (I may be wrong, haven’t finished the video) my first thoughts were of a yacht like Wider or was it Wilder? The one that used 4 generators and electric engines.

Italian boat for sure
Very nice and modern design if you ask me. Best Regards
Perfect starter boat size, you sure know your demographics
@YachtforSale94 why?
Seems to be a beautiful boat, yet.. for a yacht at that level: is that the right type of anchor? (which perhaps also explains its position throughout the video)
Yes, a good first time yacht for someone who hasn't paid off his car.
Hahaha! My thoughts exactly.
I'm guessing it has a high tonnage to length ratio.
It would be interesting to see if they sell that little scale model of the yatch right there

It’s a Motek powered by a Spoon engine, T66 turbo’s and NO2 from Harry’s.

Arcadia nın teknelerine bayılıyorum...keşke alabilsem,ama bana çok uzak bir hayal maalesef.🥺

what is it you don't like about the en-suite baths?

I think elements of the styling will date very quickly, and at that price there are a great many alternatives that I'd rather have if I had €6 million in loose change.
From the heart: that design is not for me. But Thanks for showing.
Fantastico
Odd style,but nice interior.

Hmmm, first time owner selling after 1 year. Why? Didn't care for the lifestyle or was it the boat?
It was an interesting boat. 🤔
Marmite... Definitely a Marmite yacht
Took me a few watch throughs to realise what you meant.
I kind of agree.
Agreed
For that price I’d rather shoot for a Evadne Rock 85 lol, this yacht looks like it belongs on a river. Nice tour as always! 🍻
I have a question, boat is 25.99 m but how can it be classified under 24m ?
Because the LWL or length at water level is 22.96m....
Cheers...
It is interesting, with some nice touches, but definitely not my taste of the exterior... to a level of deal-braking.
Thanks for watching. Arcadia are very distinctive designs, pretty easy to recognise them when you see one in a marina.
@@Yachtsforsaleblog Yeah... but for me is like spotting clown in the crowd 😂
That editor is good for rave stage mixing, but NOT for this channel - It was hard and painful to watch. Please go back to old format and show us a boat.
Where’s the top half of the boat??!
😂😂😂
Sorta reminds me of Noah's ark on top 🤣🤣
How funny, first time buyer.
Like a brick floating in water?
🤯
I don't know. Looks nice, but maybe a little too modern for my taste.
Why did they get rid of it within a season? Without context, that is a bad look.

Happy to arrange it 😁
Not for me! That ceiling gives me a headache.

So, are these guys israeli or what? Motek means beautiful
Me want
Nah, I think I'll go for a Bering
It’s 3. Million dollars over priced
Sherpa XL is a way better looking Arcadia
israeli name
fact: motek is sweety in hebrew
Nice wig
