The world premiere of the Arcadia Sherpa entry-level yacht took place at the Düsseldorf show. This 16.8 meter displacement motor yacht joins the range of fiberglass superyachts that also includes the Arcadia 85, Arcadia 100, and Arcadia 115.

The feature of this yacht is the flybridge-transformer that transforms into an enclosed deck protected by side windows. The windows can be raised and lowered like in a car.

Below the main deck, Arcadia Sherpa has a 140 sqm tender garage. Her cockpit area is 41 square meters, the same as her elder sister, the 26-meter Arcadia 85.

She has a choice of three layouts with one, two or three cabins. The one-cabin layout features a spacious master suite with a living area and full-beam bathroom. With two cabins, a second cabin with two beds and a walk-in shower is added to the master suite with the same full-beam bath. The third layout features a forward master stateroom and two guest cabins sharing a full bathroom.

Powered by Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines, the Sherpa can reach a cruising speed of 25 knots. At a cruising speed of 20 knots, fuel consumption is 97 liters per hour. Electrical appliances are powered by 4 kW solar panels that contain special krypton gas, providing optimal thermal protection for the interior, which is equivalent to a 20 centimeter brick wall.
