Arksen Arksen 85
About this yacht
The Arksen 85 represents a new paradigm in explorer yacht design—a 27.3-meter expedition vessel that refuses to compromise between capability and comfort. Built in aluminum by Arksen since 2018, this motor yacht combines rugged ocean-going credentials with refined onboard living, creating a platform equally suited to remote exploration and sophisticated coastal cruising. Engineered for serious voyaging, the Arksen 85 carries CE Category A certification for unlimited offshore operation. The innovative Modeshift® hullform by Humphreys Yacht Design delivers exceptional seakeeping and an impressive 7,000-nautical-mile range at cruising speeds up to 14 knots. With a shallow 1.55-meter draft, this explorer can access remote anchorages and beach herself where conventional yachts cannot venture. The design prioritizes stability and confidence at sea. Active stabilization systems and high bulwarks provide reassuring security underway, while twin oversized bow anchors ensure reliable holding in challenging conditions. Hybrid propulsion enables silent running with zero emissions, allowing you to experience pristine environments without intrusion. Five guest cabins accommodate up to 16 guests in thoughtfully designed spaces flooded with natural light through generous portlights. The modular interior adapts to your needs—configure spaces as intimate family retreats, expedition headquarters, or anything between. A flexible snug or office area adds versatility below deck, while the main saloon features wraparound glazing that maintains connection with the seascape while sheltering from the elements. On deck, the Arksen 85 excels as an adventure platform. Adaptable layouts accommodate tenders, diving equipment, and exploration gear from drones to sea scooters. Zoned outdoor areas include options for foredeck and flybridge seating plus aft deck dining, creating varied spaces for different moods and moments. This powerboat embodies circular design principles, engineered to minimize environmental impact through durable materials and efficient systems. Optional solar arrays complement the hybrid propulsion, extending your capability to explore responsibly. High-volume carrying capacity ensures extended autonomy in remote regions. The Arksen 85 appeals to owners who view yachting as a means to discovery rather than an end itself. Through Arksen's Sea Time Pledge program, owners can support ocean research by dedicating vessel time to scientific and educational projects—an opportunity to contribute directly to marine conservation while gaining unique insights into ocean ecosystems. Built with decades of boatbuilding expertise and refined through extensive testing, every element delivers reliable performance for the journeys that matter most. This is an explorer yacht for those who measure success not in miles traveled, but in experiences gained and horizons expanded.
