Arcona Yachts Arcona 50
About this yacht
The Arcona Yachts Arcona 50 represents a defining moment for this respected Swedish builder—a performance cruiser that earned European Yacht of the Year 2024 honors in the luxury performance cruiser category at Boot Düsseldorf, alongside Yacht of the Year recognition at Allt För Sjön 2024. Launched in 2022, this 15.80-meter flagship introduces a fresh design collaboration between Niels Jeppesen and Ariadna Pons, delivering a sailing yacht that balances offshore capability with refined cruising comfort. Built for shorthanded sailing without compromise, the Arcona 50 breaks new ground for the yard. Twin rudders—a first for Arcona—provide enhanced control and tracking, while an integrated dinghy garage adds practical cruising range. The thoughtful cockpit layout features L-shaped seating and dual tables that create genuine usable space underway. Recessed liferaft storage, dedicated halyard and sheet lockers beneath the side decks, and aft coaming compartments for gas bottles keep the deck clean and purposeful. With her three-spreader mast, discontinuous rod rigging, and dual hydraulic backstay cylinders, this sailboat delivers the performance expected from a modern racer-cruiser. Twin wheels come standard, while upgrades include a carbon mast and furling boom, optional inner forestay for a heavy weather jib, and a bowsprit for asymmetric sails. The recessed mainsheet block and optional electric traveler system maintain the minimalist aesthetic. An 80hp engine (upgradable to 100hp) drives a folding propeller for quiet, efficient motoring, with retractable thrusters available for tight marina work. Below deck, Scandinavian design principles shape every surface. The standard Khaya mahogany joinery—upgradable to Scandinavian light oak—uses cored construction techniques borrowed from superyacht building, reducing weight while maintaining visual warmth. The galley balances practicality with accessibility, featuring gimballed cooking, generous refrigeration, and direct connection to the L-shaped saloon seating. An alternative U-shaped layout adds additional worktop space for those who prioritize galley function. The owner's stateroom offers a king-size berth, substantial storage, and an en-suite with separate shower. Two aft cabins provide double berths as standard, convertible to twin configurations. A second heads with dedicated shower serves guest areas. Large hull windows and flush deck hatches flood the interior with natural light, amplifying the sense of space aboard this bluewater-capable cruising sailboat. The 2.95-meter draft and vacuum-infused Divinycell-cored GRP construction with strategic carbon reinforcement deliver the structural integrity expected from Swedish boatbuilding. A galvanized steel keel frame—standard across the Arcona fleet—provides the foundation for this CE Category A certified daysailer and performance cruiser. With accommodation for up to ten guests across three cabins, the Arcona 50 proves equally capable exploring the Stockholm Archipelago or making ocean passages. This is Swedish craftsmanship meeting modern offshore ambition—a sailing yacht built to take you further.
