Arksen 55
Part vessel. Part basecamp.
The Arksen 55 is made for those who push beyond the conventional. Designed to reach remote coastlines and operate off-grid for extended periods, while offering fast, comfortable and fuel-efficient travel. She sleeps between four and eight, and delivers capability you can rely on when conditions change.
Don’t turn back, go further
A range of 350 nautical miles gives you the flexibility to cover real distance with confidence. It lets you reach new coastlines and choose your route for adventure, not for fuel stops.
Built for effortless exploration
Engineered with a double-stepped deep-V hull, this shallow-draft vessel delivers exceptional seakeeping, high efficiency, and access to all areas, from open waters to rocky inlets. Its functional bow shape allows direct sea-to-land shore access using a simple one component bow ramp. Heated, openable windows preserve visibility and natural ventilation in any climate.
Designed for self-sufficient operation, solar panels, battery packs, and dry storage offer maximum autonomy off the grid. Quick and simple to use, one person can get the boat ready to go within ten minutes of stepping on board.
Comforts of home at sea
Calm interiors, carefully chosen materials and practical design make life on board easy. Everything is intuitive and considered, without compromising comfort.
Spacious sleeping
The wide beam allows accommodation for up to eight, with full standing headroom throughout. The layout supports both small group trips and larger crews, as berths can be arranged for single or shared sleeping depending on the needs of the journey.
Arksen is setting a new benchmark in sustainable luxury and modern adventure.
The Arksen 55 has been designed from the inside out to suit the needs of modern explorers. It all begins with movement on board: while traditional boats confine circulation to the outer edges, this vessel brings it inside. The result is a full-beam saloon with seamless flow, where pathways remain clear even with a full crew.
Thanks to a unique four door layout and dual sidewalkways, foot traffic flows seamlessly around the main cabin. Whether returning from snorkeling off the aft deck or stepping off the beach via the bow ramp, guests can transition straight to the lower accommodations without disturbing anyone relaxing in the saloon raised seating area.
Onboard functionality
The entire boat is designed to support active life on board. Below the deck, a dedicated utility area combines a galley with a practical workshop. Modular shelving holds semi-transparent boxes to keep gear organised, and a drying cabinet manages wet clothing. A washing machine, dryer and dishwasher are housed here too, freeing up space above. This area supports real-life travel needs, from equipment maintenance to preparing for deep-sea fishing trips.
Distinctive interiors,
Nordic calm or Boutique luxury.
Nordic Light
Two carefully developed interior palettes. Both are designed to create a calm setting after a day on the water, supporting rest and time together.
Nordic Dark
Materials are selected for their tactile quality. Surfaces feel refined yet resilient, with details made for real use while maintaining a composed atmosphere on board.
Where the Engineered meets the Elemental.
Marine-grade aluminium throughout, hull and every panel, and every system chosen to minimise environmental impact. The hull is both repairable and fully recyclable.
Designed by Jarkko Jämsén, engineered by Arksen and Aivan. Built by Kewatec, among the finest commercial boatbuilders in the world, with decades of naval, rescue and Arctic vessels behind them.
The Arksen 55 is easy to maintain and intuitive in everyday use. The design favours manual solutions, with systems thoughtfully arranged and easily accessible. Accessible analogue switches and components put vessel operation in your hands.
