The Arcoa 41 is a rare and characterful boat, the kind that turns heads for all the right reasons. The last evolution of a range built by the Arcoa yard in the early 2000s, she was drawn by Olivier Veyran and inspired by the lines of traditional Italian vessels, and it shows in her timeless, elegant profile. Her teak decks and distinctive chocolate paint make her unmistakable, a boat that looks like nothing else along the coast. Beneath the beauty is real capability. A deep V hull gives her remarkable sea handling, so she stays comfortable and composed even when the water turns lively, which makes her a natural for exploring the shorelines and creeks around Cannes. Her wide, generous exterior offers plenty of room for sunbathing and sitting, arranged for the long, easy day at anchor. At just under thirteen metres she welcomes up to twelve guests for the day, with two cabins below and a crew of two looking after the details. With a top speed of around thirty-three knots she has genuine pace, and snorkelling gear is aboard for the clear water below. Only six boats like her were ever built, which makes her something of a collector already, a rare thing to step aboard. She suits the guest who values character and craftsmanship over the obvious. Slip out of Cannes in the morning and let the creeks and coves decide the rest. Some boats simply have a soul, and this is one of them.
