Your basecamp for adventure
Space and comfort inside and out make the Arksen 85 explorer yacht the ultimate home away from home.
The perfect platform to explore new destinations, it combines comfortable onboard living with a wide range of adventure equipment, giving you the freedom to explore pristine destinations, lounge and dine in style and sleep in peace, wherever the ocean takes you.
Colour & Finish
Finished in bare aluminium as standard, the hull can be left raw for an industrial look or painted to offer a more traditional yacht aesthetic. Form follows function—beautifully.
For life’s greatest journeys
Functionality is at the forefront of the Arksen 85’s design.
With spacious interiors, high-volume carrying capacity and adaptable deck layouts for tenders and adventure equipment from drones to sea scooters.
Onboard areas are zoned to provide variation, with flexibility for foredeck and flybridge seating and aft deck dining. Inside, a luxurious interior saloon with wrap-around glazing continues a connection to the outdoors whilst protecting from the elements.
The sanctuary below offers sizeable en-suite cabins and a cosy snug or office room that can be arranged to suit. Natural light fills the area through sizeable portlights, creating a luxurious and relaxing space to rest and unwind.

Circular by design
The Arksen 85 explorer yacht is engineered to explore the planet responsibly. It embodies forward-thinking circular design to re-circulate the Earth's valuable resources while optional hybrid running and solar arrays offer a zero emissions mode and silent running capabilities.
Arksen owners are typically passionate about ocean conservation and the company actively supports this philosophy with its philanthropic activities.
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.
Sea Time Pledge
Ocean research relies on access to suitable expedition vessels. That is why all Arksen owners are encouraged to pledge a portion of their vessels’ annual sea time to scientific or educational projects.
This pledge allows vessels to be used to support researchers, explorers, thought leaders and filmmakers. Owners can even get involved, giving a unique opportunity to actively assist in furthering our knowledge of the ocean ecosystem.
Go a different way…
The world is vast. The next chapter is yours to write.
From the fjords of Norway or the icefields of Greenland to the tropical paradise of the Caribbean or the coral reefs of Thailand, ownership is an invitation to experience true adventure with the support of Arksen’s expedition experts.
We can provide the tools and systems to enable bold journeys across land and sea, creating access to remote places, like-minded people and new perspectives. Whether you're travelling with family, friends or fellow explorers, every voyage is yours to shape.
