Project: Arcadia A125

At Cannes 2026 Arcadia Yachts shared first glimpses of A125, marking the start of a journey that will gradually lead up to the yacht’s official debut, planned for the Cannes Yachting Festival 2028. A125 takes Arcadian Living into a more spacious dimension. The project brings together the principles that have set Arcadia Yachts apart on the international yachting stage right from the outset, working on a larger scale that showcases their value with even greater impact. Space, light, continuity with the water, privacy and freedom of movement are elements that come together to offer a new take on onboard living. The shipyard’s future flagship has been conceived to broaden the outlook of this vision, with living spaces designed to reach out and embrace the landscape, a focus on the quality of time spent on board, and careful consideration of each owner’s personal cruising style. The design is consistent with Arcadia Yachts’ identity and its concept of life at sea. A125 is the most ambitious showcase for Arcadia Yachts’ design journey yet. It’s an evolutionary step that looks to the future without affecting the brand’s spirit, consistency and identity. At 38 metres in length and 299 Gross Tonnage, A125 spans four decks and is the result of an in‑house effort by Arcadia Yachts, combining naval architecture with exterior and interior design in the framework of the same vision. This choice testifies to the level of mature design achieved by the brand and its ability to manage a complex project. The future flagship is designed to offer the liveability and perception of space usually associated with larger superyachts, featuring a balance between interior and outdoor areas, spaces for socialising, and settings offering more privacy. The standard layout accommodates ten guests in five cabins, with optional arrangements available for consideration depending on the owner’s needs. The crew quarters provide four cabins for a total of seven people. This is the start of a story that Arcadia Yachts will gradually tell as it unfolds, leading up to the official launch of A125.

The Fiera had in its second year doubled its exhibiting space, a theme of the show over the years who always upgraded its spaces, and recent big expansions coming with the Marina in 2006 which quadrupled water spaces, and the new Pavilion B designed by Jean Nouvel in 2009. In 1964 Genoa boat show became a member of IFBSO, with UCINA the Italian association of boat builders managing the show from 1966. This UCINA move marked the end of the Milan show which debuted in 1960 and had its last fifth edition in 1965. The Genoa boat show had a double edition in 1972; 29 January to seven February and one to ten December, while the 1973 edition was when it moved to its today known fall of the year October dates, with the show reduced to a smaller five day format in 2014 added by a day a couple years later. The Genoa boat show was one of the few shows which managed to do its editions during the 2020 and 2021 Covid-19 pandemic years.

New Model: ISA Yachts Gran Turismo 67m

ISA Yachts a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, announces the delivery of the ISA Gran Turismo 67m titled Sea Raider X.  With an overall length of 67 metres, the first Gran Turismo 67m is the largest ISA Yachts build to date, overcoming the Gran Turismo 66m which arrived in 2014 by sixty centimetres. Designed by Vallicelli for exterior and Enrico Gobbi for the interior the first Gran Turimso 67m is arranged across four decks plus a bilge deck. Her black-painted steel hull and silver aluminium superstructure create an elegant and highly distinctive silhouette, perfectly expressing the sporty character that defines the Gran Turismo line. The project represents the evolution of ISA Yachts’ iconic Gran Turismo models which achieves a perfect balance between sportiness, elegance and technological innovation which today offers six models from 33 to eight meters and to date has been delivered in three hulls; 66m which debuted the line in 2014, 45m arrived in 2022, and this 67m. The yacht’s design is distinguished by the striking morphological and chromatic contrast between the flowing, organic lines of the decks and the bold diamond-shaped geometry of the transom and sun deck superstructure. The side profile of the superstructure is built around a distinctive “frame” element that connects the wheelhouse roof to the aft bulwark of the main deck, creating a dynamic overall appearance while recalling the signature styling cues of the Gran Turismo family line. The first Gran Turismo 67m accommodates up to fourteen guests across seven cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite located forward on the main deck. Crew accommodation comprises thirteen crew members plus the Captain, distributed across eight cabins. The Gran Turismo 67m most significant innovations are concentrated on the main deck, where the entire aft area has been completely reimagined. A spacious lounge develops around the spectacular panoramic swimming pool and, thanks to two fold-down side terraces, offers an exceptionally generous living area. From here, integrated staircases provide direct access to the aft platform and the beach club. he primary tender is housed aft on the lower deck and launched through a side-opening hatch. The garage connects directly to the beach club, which features a hammam, bar and gym area. Once the tender has been launched, the entire covered aft section transforms into a full-beam entertainment area, effectively doubling the size of the beach club. The Gran Turismo 67m is powered by twin MTU 3046hp for speeds up to eight knots, a cruise of sixteen, and a twelve knots long range which will give an autonomy up 5500 nautical miles.
