A platform for adventure

A uniquely different type of RIB, the Arksen 8 has a wide beam and deep hull design to create class-leading interior space, with every element designed for ease of use and cleaning so there is more time to spend exploring on the water.

Space, Comfort and Refinement

An innovative square bow, d-tube, wide beam and versatile foldable seating enables deck space to be optimised for comfortable socialising, kit storage or deck space, while an exaggerated blow flare keeps occupants dry from spray in inclement weather.

 

The integrated T-top provides shade in the baking sun, while the sociable onboard set-up is perfect for entertaining, with a high-end Garmin Fusion entertainment system, optional Kenyan BBQ grill, convenient wet bar and prep area.

Explore with confidence

Engineered to meet commercial boat specifications, the Arksen 8 inspires confidence to push the boundaries of discovery

Its multi-chine hull design allows for optimal performance across the speed range, while a wide beam and large internal volume permits higher payloads to be carried. The deep-V hull form creates a soft ride and sure-footed handling, even in challenging ocean swells and coastal choppy waters.

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.
