Arcane Era and Nova
About Arcane Era and Nova
Arcane Era and Arcane Nova, two new 55-metre superyacht projects by RMK Yachts, developed in collaboration with Espen Oeino International and Giorgio Cassetta. Sharing the same technical platform while offering two distinct design expressions, the Arcane projects introduce a radically reimagined approach to life on board. Exceptional exterior volumes and seamless indoor-outdoor connections define both yachts, from the 180-square-metre aft deck Piazza® and forward-facing Piazzetta® to the panoramic Love Nest® terrace and expansive RMK Jumbo Deck®. At under 500 GT, every space has been conceived to maximise comfort, usability and connection with the sea. Arcane Era offers a more timeless interpretation of the concept, while Arcane Nova introduces RMK Yachts’ bold new design language and a more forward-looking arrangement, including an exceptionally large sundeck. Powered by the Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform, with ICE and hybrid configurations respectively, the two projects combine innovative engineering, remarkable space and distinctive design to offer future owners two compelling interpretations of the next generation of 55-metre superyachts.
