Arksen Arksen 65
About this yacht
The Arksen 65 represents a compelling evolution in expedition yacht design, delivering genuine blue-water capability in a 20.46-meter aluminum hull that opens up destinations beyond the reach of traditional motor yachts. Built by Arksen since 2022, this explorer yacht combines the range and resilience of her larger fleet mates with a thoughtful design feature: a limited fixed air draft that grants access to Europe's historic canal systems and low-bridge waterways. This is an expedition powerboat engineered for extended voyaging. With a 3,700 nautical mile range at cruising speed and the structural integrity for transatlantic or Pacific crossings, the Arksen 65 makes serious exploration accessible in a vessel of this size. The hull and superstructure incorporate recycled aluminum—lightweight yet rugged enough to handle challenging sea conditions while reducing environmental impact from the outset. The raised exterior helm position delivers commanding 360-degree visibility, available in open or fully glazed configurations to suit your preferred style of passage-making. Below, the practical layout focuses on real-world cruising needs: ergonomically positioned handrails along wide side decks, wraparound main deck glazing that floods the interior with light and views, and systems designed for straightforward maintenance in remote locations. The main deck saloon connects seamlessly with the open galley, creating a social heart for the yacht where cooking and conversation unfold against panoramic vistas. The aft deck serves as the primary entertaining zone, equipped with a BBQ kitchen unit, aft-facing sofa, and convertible seating that accommodates up to eight guests around the double-leaf table. For those prioritizing water sports and dive operations, this space can be configured with clear decking to accommodate additional equipment and underwater gear. Below deck, the flexible layout adapts to how you actually use the yacht. The standard configuration offers a full-beam master suite forward and two twin cabins positioned midships and aft, comfortably accommodating up to 14 guests. The optional third cabin space can be specified as additional berths, a private study, or dedicated storage—allowing owners to tailor the yacht to their specific expedition requirements. For those drawn to sustainable cruising, the Arksen 65 offers optional hybrid propulsion with solar arrays, enabling zero-emissions operation in electric mode. Combined with advanced waste management systems that achieve zero discharge, this explorer yacht provides access to environmentally sensitive marine destinations where conventional motor yachts cannot venture. Tenders up to 3.4 meters stow on or above the bathing platform, with additional capacity on the aft deck when specified with the clear deck option. Forward deck configurations range from a sun-facing sofa with integrated solar panels to a full sun pad or dedicated toy storage area, depending on your priorities. The Arksen 65 is purpose-built for couples and families seeking autonomy beyond coastal cruising grounds. This is a motor yacht that trusts you to forge your own path while maintaining the connectivity and onboard systems to reach the outside world when desired. With CE (A) certification for unlimited offshore operation and a draft of just 1.17 meters, she balances genuine expedition capability with the versatility to explore shallow anchorages and inland waterways that remain off-limits to deeper-draft cruisers.
