Arksen

We are a marine adventure company. We build exceptionally capable vessels that enable families and friends to confidently explore some of the most wild and precious places on the planet.

Inspired by the stories of great explorers from the past – Jacques Cousteau, Fridtjof Nansen, Thor Heyerdahl and Bill Tillman – we design for the curious, engineer for the extremes and build with a complete lack of compromise. Because it is in our most freewheeling, untethered and challenging moments that we feel most alive.

Engineered emotion

You can engineer product attributes, but can you engineer emotion? At Arksen, we believe we can. Our class-leading explorer yachts are designed with one purpose: to create moments that make your spine tingle.

We may be a young company, but our expertise runs deep. Our extraordinary team has crossed every ocean, climbed the highest peaks and dived the blue holes. We celebrate a cross-industry design ethos and collaborate with companies that with centuries of combined experience in marine, overland, apparel and expeditions to create a new level of adventure.

Guarding the future

The ocean is our North Star, and we are dedicated to supporting its future health. Our products are engineered to last a lifetime, but our philosophies and philanthropy will help the planet last many millions more.

We aim to protect resources by designing for the entire lifecycle, engineering for simplicity, function and longevity. We use efficient hybrid technologies. Robustly resourced materials. And deliver solutions that are reliable, replaceable and recyclable at end of life.

We also aim to inspire collaborative change. Through our 10% for the Ocean programme, we unite more than 70 global charities and funds hundreds of projects. And with our Sea Time Pledge, we encourage owners to provide time on their vessels for valuable research.
