Eco Factor: Fuel-efficient yacht harvests renewable energy.
Arcadia Yachts has unveiled their highly innovative and beautifully styled Arcadia 85. The yacht is constructed almost entirely out of double layered reflecting glass, creating a bright and open interior. It also includes sliding overhead panels that provide shade and privacy.
The shape of the hulls requires low-powered engines and the onboard array of solar panels generate all the electricity that this yacht requires. The yacht doesn’t include a sundeck, but manages to include all of the amenities normally found on the sundeck on the aft portion of the main deck.
The interior of the Arcadia 85 features pieces of modern furniture by well known Italian design houses such as B&B Italia and Schiffini. Almost all the interior furnishings are loose pieces, creating a flexible layout. The lower features four guest cabins and a spectacular owner’s cabin aft. The 23.97 meter yacht has a displacement of 55 tons, and is powered by twin MAN diesels. The engines power the yacht to speeds up to 18 knots.
