Yachts by Sailors, for Sailors

At Arcona, we don’t just build yachts, we sail them. We know when the reach from the wheel is too great and we make an adjustment. We understand when we need an extra foot support or how to make it easier to reach a winch. Our quest at Arcona is for mastery of each project. Our passion is to build yachts that define the ultimate sailing experience.

Our DNA

The DNA for Arcona Yachts is the concept of a cruiser-racer. When you draw a pure race yacht, you don’t have to think about comfort on board and speed is your single focus. Drawing a cruiser is not too challenging either when your single focus is comfort and sailing performance is not important. However, to successfully design a yacht that performs well in racing, as well as being comfortable and safe to cruise for the family, that is a real trick.

How we do it, the Arcona way

The cornerstone of Arcona yacht design is light rigid construction. The owner who wishes to race his yacht needs a highly responsive efficiently driven sail plan. When the owner is cruising, passage planning becomes easy. Our owners have cruised in the West Indies and all over the world, their yachts laden with additional equipment.  We have been able to constantly refine our yachts, defined by their sailing experiences. Consequently our yachts are light and able to navigate safely in all sailing conditions without compromise. Each piece of the design puzzle is important. For example, a cockpit layout that is optimal for cruising, where you can reach everything yourself – to when you enter it into a race and need to accommodate your full crew. By combining the knowledge of both aspects, we have successfully managed to develop a range of world beating cruiser-racers. Arcona yachts are designed to race in comfort and cruise with speed.
