Co-ownership
Discover the world aboard Fin, Arksen’s flagship Explorer Yacht

A new model for ownership

Co-ownership offers exclusive access to a fully crewed, expedition-ready Arksen 85, at a fraction of the cost of sole ownership. With 3 – 10 weeks of personal usage per year, the yacht is managed and maintained by our team ready whenever you are. The remaining calendar is used for charter to offset costs, with all logistics handled by Arksen.

"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."

Meet Fin

Your basecamp for adventure

Fin is the flagship of the Arksen fleet – a full hybrid explorer yacht with a transoceanic range of over 7,000 nautical miles. She’s built for endurance, efficiency and comfort in the world’s most remote environments. She offers wraparound views from her glass saloon, a warm and spacious interior, and exceptional autonomy at sea - but she is more than a yacht, she is your floating basecamp – equipped for diving, kayaking, photography, and exploring hard-to-reach coastlines with ease and confidence.

"The class-leading explorer vessel of her size – extraordinary engineering"

The ocean, reimagined

Co-ownership with Arksen is more than time at sea – it’s a new way to experience the world and protect it in the process. Read on to discover the highlights of this unique opportunity

The vision behind co-ownership

"It comes from some of the experiences that we had when my children Stormy, Harper, and May were growing up. We wanted them to learn about the ocean, to feel the adventure of being at sea and the excitement of visiting new places.

"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 wanted to open up more opportunities for our community and their families to embark on life-enhancing adventures and work with us to engage in important work to help protect the oceans.

"These pioneering programmes are designed specifically to offer the change to enjoy hassle free shared ownership of one of our unique vessels and full access to the experiences we offer. Like everything we do at Arksen, I hope it encourages you to join us on this journey and that it is the beginning of a great adventure for you."

A vessel with a mission

Arksen yachts are built with a commitment to protect the environment in which they travel. Every co-ownership journey supports ocean science, storytelling, and ecosystem restoration through 10% for the Ocean.


As a co-owner, you’ll have the chance to connect with people making a difference and engage in meaningful projects – from coral restoration in the Maldives to research expeditions in the high Arctic.

Global cruising grounds

Each year, Fin’s itinerary is agreed collectively by her co-owners – typically around 12 months in advance – allowing everyone to plan well ahead while shaping the vessel’s course to reflect shared interests.For 2026, Fin will sail an expedition through Norway’s dramatic Lofoten Islands, blending Arctic wildlife encounters, sea kayaking, cold-water diving and cultural exploration. Beyond that, the current long-range plan includes Iceland & Greenland (2027) and Newfoundland (2028).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.

An adventure emporium

Co-ownership is a platform for those with an adventurous soul. It goes beyond the boat itself to offer expedition vessels, rugged support boats, custom Land Rovers, off-grid cabins and technical apparel, providing the tools and systems that enable bold journeys across land and sea. We create access. Access to remote places. To like-minded people. To new perspectives. Co-ownership brings that life of adventure alive through support from local and global experts, all drawn together by a shared desire to live curiously and tread lightly.

A connected community

This isn’t just about vessel ownership – it’s about a shared ethos.

Co-owners become part of the Arksen community: with unique opportunities beyond boat ownership to connect with a growing network of modern explorers, creatives, scientists and conservationists. You’ll have the chance to collaborate, learn, and travel alongside others who believe adventure can be a force for good.

A growing fleet

Early access is now open for our second co-ownership vessel, built to Arksen’s same exacting standards. As a founding co-owner, you’ll help define her first voyages and join a like-minded group of modern explorers.

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.
