The Arksen 85: The Next Generation of Explorer YachtsThe Arksen 85: The Next Generation of Explorer Yachts
The Arksen 85 is not just an explorer yacht; she's a statement about the future of ocean exploration. Built with a focus on efficiency, sustainability, and rugged capability, this vessel is designed for adventurers who want to go anywhere and leave no trace. Her aluminum hull, made with a high percentage of recycled content, gives her a unique, raw aesthetic that will develop a natural patina over time.
Her "workboat" exterior belies a surprisingly refined interior. The design prioritizes comfortable, open-plan spaces and a minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic. From the main deck's large saloon to the expansive bridge deck, she provides a tranquil and safe environment for long journeys. The Arksen 85 is engineered to go the distance, with a 7,000-nautical-mile range at a cruising speed of 9 knots. This capability allows for transoceanic voyages, from the high latitudes to the tropics.
Beyond her impressive range, the Arksen 85 is equipped for true autonomy. She can be configured with an optional hybrid propulsion system and a solar array, allowing for zero-emissions silent running at anchor and in harbors. This focus on environmental responsibility extends to her construction, which uses sustainable materials. With a reinforced aft deck and plenty of space for tenders, submersibles, or an "Adventure Pod" (a configurable module for diving or research), she is a true platform for any kind of exploration, ready to take on the world’s most inaccessible destinations.
The Arksen 85 Explorer is more than an expedition yacht, it is a whole new way of living and exploring the world. To find out more about remarkable aluminum yachts and the Arksen lifestyle, click here.
