Scandinavian Boating: Exploring the New Features of the Arcona 50

Scandinavian boatbuilding is celebrated around the world for combining minimalist design, meticulous craftsmanship and seaworthy performance. The Arcona 50 is the latest example of this tradition – a yacht that not only performs at the highest level but also offers comfort and style for long passages at sea. Winner of the European Yacht of the Year 2024 in the luxury performance cruiser category, the Arcona 50 by Jeppesen & Pons continues to set new standards in Scandinavian boating.

This particular Arcona 50, pictured below, will be based in the Mediterranean – the perfect playground for enjoying long passages, exploring coastlines, and spending time both under sail and at anchor. Here’s a closer look at some of the new options now available on board.


Outdoor Cooking Area Aft

Life on the water is all about living outdoors, and the new outdoor cooking area aft of the cockpit brings a whole new dimension to Mediterranean cruising. Whether it’s preparing fresh fish at sunset or making coffee on deck at sunrise, this feature keeps you at the heart of the action.

With clean lines and practical design rooted in Scandinavian simplicity, this option transforms the Arcona 50’s deck into the ultimate entertaining space. Perfect for long summer evenings at anchor with friends and family.


Sunbed Space Forward

Another new option is the double sunbed on the forward deck – the ultimate spot to stretch out, relax, and take in panoramic views at sea. It turns unused foredeck space into a comfortable lounge, perfect for unwinding after a day’s sailing.

Combining elegance with practicality, it’s a design detail that reinforces the Arcona 50’s reputation as a luxury performance cruiser – one that balances high-speed passages with moments of calm and comfort.


A Designer’s Perspective

Ariadna Pons, Naval Architect & Yacht Designer at Jeppesen & Pons, explains:

“Designing with Arcona is about bringing together Scandinavian boatbuilding tradition with an international perspective. On this Arcona 50, the new forward sunbed and outdoor cooking area aft create a lifestyle that feels perfectly at home in the Mediterranean, while the galley layout choices and adaptable aft cabins ensure more comfort than ever on longer passages. Combined with many other practical features such as the straightforward engine access, it’s a yacht that reflects Swedish craftsmanship and a perfect blend of Danish design heritage and Spanish creativity.”


Flexible Aft Cabins

Below deck, the aft cabins are designed to adapt, allowing two single berths to be transformed into a large double bed in minutes. It’s a feature that adapts the space to suit family, friends, or a couple on passage.

Scandinavian yacht design is renowned for its clever use of space, and this flexibility demonstrates how comfort and practicality go hand in hand, making the Arcona 50 ideal for extended cruising.


Scandinavian Boating, Mediterranean Living

The Arcona 50 demonstrates why Scandinavian yachts are so highly regarded worldwide – blending speed, safety and style in one package. With her award-winning pedigree and these new upgrade options, this yacht is ready for Mediterranean adventures, from coastal explorations to long passages across open water.

For those seeking a luxury Scandinavian performance cruiser that makes life on board as enjoyable as the sailing itself, the Arcona 50  is the ultimate choice.
