Unlimited Exploration 

The Arksen 85 design team has focused on four key design pillars – capability, refinement, efficiency and safety – to create one of the most safe, stable, dynamic and luxurious explorer yachts in its class.

Engineered beyond industry standards, this ultimate luxury yacht offers ‘go-anywhere’ resilience.

A moderate freeboard, high bulwarks and active stabilisation give 180 degrees of stability, with fully-beachable capabilities and silent running in hybrid mode while a fast-displacement hull maximises efficiency, offering 7000nm range for long-distance ocean cruising.

Onboard, the spacious, flowing environment is equipped to premium specifications, with all the equipment required for any adventure, from relaxing weekend cruising to long-distance expeditions in inaccessible destinations.

Circular by design

The Arksen 85 explorer yacht is engineered to explore the planet responsibly. It embodies forward-thinking circular design to re-circulate the Earth's valuable resources while optional hybrid running and solar arrays offer a zero emissions mode and silent running capabilities.

Arksen owners are typically passionate about ocean conservation and the company actively supports this philosophy with its philanthropic activities.

10% for the Ocean

The oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, support 94% of the planet’s species and produce 80% of the oxygen we breathe. Despite their vital life-giving features, few realise just how critical it is to protect them. 

Arksen is on a global mission to change that. Our dedicated charity encourages people to pledge 10% of their charitable giving to ocean recovery. This could unlock $80bn annually – helping to end overfishing, restore ecosystems and protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.

Sea Time Pledge

Ocean research relies on access to suitable expedition vessels. 
That is why all Arksen owners are encouraged to pledge a portion of their vessels’ annual sea time to scientific or educational projects.

This pledge allows vessels to be used to support researchers, explorers, thought leaders and filmmakers. Owners can even get involved, giving a unique opportunity to actively assist in furthering our knowledge of the ocean ecosystem.

Go a different way…

The world is vast. The next chapter is yours to write.

From the fjords of Norway or the icefields of Greenland to the tropical paradise of the Caribbean or the coral reefs of Thailand, ownership is an invitation to experience true adventure with the support of Arksen’s expedition experts.

We can provide the tools and systems to enable bold journeys across land and sea, creating access to remote places, like-minded people and new perspectives. Whether you're travelling with family, friends or fellow explorers, every voyage is yours to shape.
