Arcadia Yachts' A96 Wins Robb Report's Best Motoryacht of the Year Award

Arcadia Yachts' latest model, the A96, has been named Best Motoryacht of the Year in the Robb Report's "Best of the Best 2024" awards. The Robb Report, a US lifestyle magazine, is highly regarded in the international yachting industry and other luxury sectors.

The A96 stands out for its design, which emphasizes holistic wellbeing and a connection with nature. The interior, designed by Igor Lobanov, features sleek lines and dark lacquered surfaces inspired by Art Deco. The jury was impressed by the yacht's spacious living areas, enabled by its 24-foot beam, and its design that encourages outdoor living in comfort.

Arcadia Yachts' CEO Ugo Pellegrino noted that the award recognizes the A96's ability to meet the desires of modern yacht owners seeking total wellbeing. Pellegrino highlighted the yacht's design features, including large water-level terraces, a maneuverable propulsion system, and a top speed of 23-24 knots, which draw from the strengths of both the Sherpa and A lines. The A96 also emphasizes a strong connection with nature through its expansive windows that blend indoor and outdoor spaces.

The A96's recognition by the Robb Report underscores its innovative design and appeal to contemporary yacht owners.
