A smarter way to explore
Co-ownership
Discover the world aboard Arksen’s flagship Explorer Yacht
Take the Helm
Guided by a professional crew, you are invited to step into the rhythms of life at sea. Take a turn at the helm, gather around the charts to help choose your route, and stand a watch just as explorers have done for generations. It is about feeling the weather systems roll through and actively participating in the seafaring lifestyle. You are not just experiencing the wilderness - you are living it.
An Odyssey to the Arctic
To understand what is possible, look to the Arksen 85, Fin’s, inaugural 1,500-nautical-mile North Atlantic Odyssey to Norway's dramatic Lofoten archipelago. Whether you navigate a true ocean crossing or fly directly into the Arctic Circle to explore granite-lined fjords, the route is a canvas for your own expedition.
Every owner has the opportunity to influence where the vessel travels next – whether that’s the fjords of Patagonia, the Scottish isles, or tropical expeditions further afield. The experience is flexible, curated, and shaped around your goals for the time onboard.
"The most efficient way to own one of our vessels - costs are shared between the group, and when not used by owners, the boat is chartered to further reduce ownership costs."

Your basecamp for adventure
To reach the world’s more remote environments, you need the right platform. Meet Fin, the flagship Arksen 85 co-ownership yacht and your floating basecamp. Engineered for autonomy with a 7,000-nautical-mile range, she is a robust yet welcoming home away from home. Fully equipped with everything from dive gear to kayaks and paddleboards, she allows you to safely explore hard-to-reach coastlines.
"The class-leading explorer vessel of her size – extraordinary engineering"
Boat International
The ocean, reimagined
Experience the freedom of the ocean without the complexity of full ownership. Become one of a select group of co-owners in Fin, the Arksen 85 that serves as your platform for global exploration. Each co-owner enjoys sole, private use of the vessel for several weeks each year, with every journey fully crewed, professionally managed, and tailored to your preferences.
Time Well Spent
Our approach to shared yacht ownership was created with a simple goal: to help families share the experience of being at sea.
Founder Jasper Smith built this programme to recreate the memorable moments his own family enjoyed.
"We wanted to teach them how to swim and dive in the ocean and to understand what it’s like to really switch off and enjoy a good book in a quiet anchorage. To feel the wind in their hair, to see the weather systems roll through and see all of the potential of the world around them. So we owned boats, and we took them far and wide and I have to say that it was one of the best things that we did for our kids as they grew up and we look back on those experiences as the very best of times."

We’ve had some of the most meaningful family moments of our lives onboard. There’s something about being completely off-grid, surrounded by nature, that brings you together in a way you can’t replicate elsewhere.Co-owner

Meaningful Exploration
We believe that enjoying these incredible environments comes with a responsibility to protect them. Through our 10% for the Ocean foundation, every journey supports marine science and restoration. You and your family are encouraged to get actively involved—whether that is collecting water samples in the Arctic, observing marine mammals, or planting kelp in the Lofoten Islands. It is a chance to turn your time on the water into valuable, hands-on exploration.
