On the aft deck there is access to a large lazarette from where you can launch your kayaks or paddle boards. At anchor, once the tender is launched, there is an expanse of wrap around decking on two levels deck to enjoy your destination. There are multiple covered seating options on both decks as well as a removable canvas awning for the fore deck. There are multiple locations to relax, including the interior panoramic views from both the bridge and main decks, you’ll always feel close to your surroundings.

Over three decks, the Arksen 85 offers a range of layouts to suit all tastes and priorities. The full-beam master suite can lie forward on the main deck, or aft on the lower deck with another three twin guest cabins plus optional crew cabins.

There are dining opportunities out on deck, or tucked under cover, depending on whether you’re cruising the tropics or the Arctic. Everywhere, touches of luxury might make you forget that you’re on board a rugged explorer boat.
