EXPLORER SERIES

Class-defining explorer yachts

The most capable vessels on the market, bar none. Engineered for a lifetime of incredible adventures.

Inspired by legends

Our explorer vessels are inspired by the engineering prowess and derring do of some of the greatest ocean explorers: Fridtjof Nansen and the Fram, Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon Tiki. These are the boats they may have specified if they were around now - designed to handle extreme conditions in safety and comfort.

Exceeding expectations

The specification of our explorer vessels goes beyond most regulations and requirements in the industry. Engineering, efficiency, life-cycle management, usage, maintenance, we have designed in capability that is ahead of other competitor, in every area.

No stone unturned

The distinction is in the detail. Our engineering team’s no compromise approach results in thousands of hours of research and design work, ensuring every element of the vessel is optimised for its specific job, from hull plating thicknesses to component selection.

Going the distance

Our vessels allow you to experience the ultimate freedom, with class-leading range. The capability for longer distance passages can turn voyages you have dreamed of into a reality, while supreme sea-keeping abilities keep you safe in the toughest conditions.

Power to explore

Hybrid power and electric-only running allows our vessels to reach incredibly remote locations. Become immersed in the environment, sit silently in secluded bays, hold position while swimming at sea and dive reefs without leaving a trace.

At home on the ocean

Experience the wonders of nature from safe, secure surroundings. Premium interior layouts are configurable for leisure, research or commercial purposes, creating the perfect platform for adventure, wherever the destination.

Driven by purpose

Arksen’s mission to improve ocean health allows owners to get directly involved in scientific partnerships, creating unique opportunities to better understand, protect and nurture the world’s most stunning marine environments.
