Owner Experience Review
Presented at Cannes 2023 and launched in 2024, the A96fromArcadia Yachtshas been taken up for family cruising and social weekends thanks to its main-deck, full-beam owner’s suite with walk-in wardrobe and a study area, plus an open-plan main deck with expansive glazing and sliding doors that dissolve the boundary between interior and sea. It is arranged for crewed operation with separate crew spaces and access, which supports private use or boutique charter without intruding on guest areas.
On the water, reports describe highly maneuverable handling from four Volvo Penta IPS units, often paired with Volvo Assisted Docking. With IPS1350, experts cite a 23–24‑knot top end and a comfortable 15–18‑knot cruise; range figures vary by source and configuration, from roughly 450 nm at 15 kn (IPS1200) to about 600 nm at 16 kn and up to around 2,000 nm at 10 kn. Reviewers note low acoustic signature and good comfort underway, with optional CMC Waveless fins further reducing roll at anchor and while running.
Comfort highlights include a generous beach club with a large platform, drop‑down bulwarks and sea terraces, and interiors by Igor Lobanov with Art‑Deco influences; one early owner appreciated the Art Deco‑inspired lines and dark lacquered surfaces and requested only minor customisations. Press write‑ups add that an optional battery/solar “silent mode” can deliver roughly 8–9 hours of quiet hotel load at anchor. Maintenance feedback so far points to a clean, well‑organized engine room and straightforward inspections, while acknowledging routine IPS servicing and additional checks for hybrid/electrical options; as of May 24, 2026, widely published long‑term owner failure reports for the A96are not yet available due to the model’s recent deliveries.
Pros and Cons
- Open-plan main deck with large glazing and sliding doors creates near-seamless indoor-outdoor living for socialising.
- Full-beam main-deck owner’s suite with walk-in wardrobe and study suits family cruising.
- Four Volvo Penta IPS with reported Assisted Docking deliver highly manoeuvrable handling.
- Four IPS drives entail recurring IPS lifecycle servicing and electronic/drive maintenance.
- Optional battery/solar silent-mode systems add complexity and require periodic checks.
- Real-world range is configuration-dependent and varies widely across sources.
