New Model: Arksen 85

 

Arken are delighted to announce the official launch of Project Pelagos, the first of its 85ft explorer super yachts. Launching from the Isle of Wight in May, the first Arksen 85 is privately owned and has hit the water for the first time ahead of her sea trials and ultimate handover to the client. The highly awaited Arksen 85 is a remarkably efficient long-range explorer, capable of taking on global adventures thanks to an important range of 6000 nautical miles at seven knots, or equally at home weekend cruising with family and friends. This pocket super yacht of 27 meters in size is first of two Arksen 85 in build, the second unit being called Project Ocean. Project Pelagos has been designed specifically with family life in mind, with an efficient hull design, and three-decks customised to the owners requirements. While the owner is keen to explore further afield with friends, the primary usage is for the family in the Mediterranean. The interior takes a more relaxed seating format on the main deck, providing a large, open-plan family space and preferring the al-fresco dining the warmer climates offer. Replacing the standard snug for a Captain’s cabin allows the vessel to retain the three guest cabins and owners’ suite.

Project: Arksen 85

Arksen is a new British company focused on building semi-custom and custom explorer and super yachts from twenty to about 28 meters.  Arksen have currently two 85s in build, with a range which offers three models from 65 to this 85.  Beside a lot of Google advertising there seems to be a lot of genuine good effort in Arksen to provide something fresh to the market, with building coming from Wight shipyard a commercial fast ferry builder located in the Isle of Wight, hull design coming from Humphreys, and looks and interior layout coming from Design Unlimited.  The Arksen 85 will offer a three to four double cabins layout, with a main deck choice for a forward owners cabin.  A crew cabin for two is located forward on the lower deck.  Arksen 85 is powered by twin 330hp engines which allow for a top speed of fourteen knots, a fast cruise of twelve, and a nine knots 7000 nautical mile long range cruise.
