Arcadia Yachts launches the 22nd Sherpa 60, debuting at Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 with unmatched flexibility, space, and efficiency.
Arcadia Yachts launches the 22nd Sherpa 60, the model that introduced a new perspective on yachting in the segment under 19 metres, combining spacious living areas, versatility and direct connection with the sea. The new yacht will be on show at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, confirming the success of one of the models that best reflects the shipyard’s philosophy. Passing this new milestone confirms the success of a design that embodies Sherpa 60’s clear and distinctive vision of life at sea. Performance isn’t an end in itself for this model, which sees the cruising experience through the lens of comfort, freedom and the ability to adapt to different needs, focusing on the well-being of the people on board.
Flexibility is a defining feature of Sherpa 60. The expansive aft deck, covering over 50 square metres, is designed as a terrace at the water’s edge and forms the heart of life on board. This flowing open space interacts continuously with the surrounding environment and is perfect for relaxing, socialising and outdoor activities based on the owner’s various needs.
The same focus on functionality can be seen in the storage solutions. The flush-deck design of the large space under the main deck, with a capacity of about 23,000 litres, means it can accommodate the tender, jet ski, water toys and equipment while leaving the deck completely clear. It’s a solution that significantly expands the yacht’s range of uses, making it ideal for cruising, day trips and even as a support vessel. Access to the compartment is facilitated by a large hydraulic door and a dedicated crane, designed to make handling operations simple and straightforward.
At 18.67 m in length, Sherpa 60 embodies Arcadia’s philosophy in a compact form, without compromising the principles that underpin the shipyard’s entire range: generous spaces, indoor-outdoor continuity and a design approach that puts people at the heart of the on-board experience. The various configurations available also make it possible to tailor the layout to different ways of enjoying the cruising experience. The yacht launched features a three-cabin layout, confirming Sherpa 60’s ability to offer versatile and functional spaces even inside the boat’s compact dimensions.
Completing the project are technological solutions developed to enhance comfort and efficiency. The NPL hull, designed to ensure high levels of hydrodynamic efficiency, works in synergy with the lightweight superstructures and the integrated solar panels, helping to reduce fuel consumption and increase energy autonomy. With this latest launch, Arcadia Yachts continues the success of one of the most recognisable models in the yard’s range. Sherpa 60 continues to stand out for the ability to combine functionality, quality of life on board and a design rooted in the authentic sailing experience, where every space is designed to nurture a natural connection between people, boat and sea.
