The Arksen 85 is a true explorer, with efficiency, comfort and safety at its core. It’s an exceptionally capable, robust and versatile platform.
The Arksen 85 is designed for the curious and engineered for the extremes. A challenging brief required us to meet specific performance, comfort, and safety requirements in combination with minimising environmental impact. The design of the Arksen 85 underwent extensive research and development to find the optimum balance of ability and amenity.
Key features of the design include a highly efficient fast-displacement hull form to minimise fuel consumption, optimised and refined by HYD over an extensive R&D program, comprising both model testing and high fidelity Rans CFD analysis.
The stability margins were increased to deal with ice accretion and provide the highest levels of safety when operating in remote areas of the planet.
Optimised seakeeping characteristics and active stabilisation from a combination of gyro stabiliser and zero speed stabiliser fins achieve heightened comfort.
Large tank capacities provide exceptional range and self-sufficiency, and the yacht has high load carrying capability allowing for a wide range of recreational and research equipment to be carried, including a submersible up to 3 tonnes in weight.
Whether serving self-sufficient worldwide exploration or weekend cruising with family or friends, the Arksen 85 is at home in Arctic as she is in the Aegean. This luxury explorer yacht is capable of going beyond the norm, taking those aboard to the most amazing places on Earth. Described as both a home-away-from-home, and a basecamp for adventure, the flexibility afforded by this remarkable vessel is incredible.
The Arksen 85 has a modular interior, conceived by Design Unlimited, that can be tailored to suit usage requirements – easily adapting between family living to fully-equipped expedition quarters. In line with Arksen brand ethos, materials have been selected for their longevity, environmental credentials, and recyclability.
