So refreshing to see another company considering all the things that r important to safe and comfortable passage its similar to a Dashew Offshore boat however there hulls r incredibly fast in rough sea states. Its refreshing to see so much thought and engineering in such a smaller Boat not that 85 is small by any means BRAVO BRAVO Arksen Boats ur future looks so bright. Especially from the 7 to 8 mill Pds range seems like a very fair price potentially being ur last boat u will need to purchase

A great walk-through of a clearly well-thought-out and well-designed Explorer yacht! When I was back in the Superyachting industry I would have honestly dreamed of working on something like this!! Certainly a case of starting with 'Form Over Function', so it's become a 'utilitarian beast', BUT ends up looking stunning & beautiful as a direct result of it's purpose... A brilliant synergy. I'm really impressed. Also, kudos for sticking to the detailed, & thorough long-format video... Most people/businesses would shy away & try to create some short, slick (& frankly cliché) promotion video rather than taking the time to show the details & depth of the design & engineering processes. & the numbers show it's worked with 84k views in one month? Honestly, respect.

[@delcassie1337]

Love the Arksen brand. Now having watch this and other walkthrough of the product, I feel I have a greater understanding of Arksen philosophise. One question that I think a lot of people would ask is, "What is the delivery time from first contact to stepping onboard ready to leave port for the owner"?. Thanks again for the great insight into these wonderful explorer yachts.

[@arksenprojects]

Thank you for your question. Build time for the Arksen 85 is 24 months and for the 65 it is 18 months. The time from first contact to stepping onboard depends on the individual owner and any customisations they would like to make ahead of the build start.

[@sullyman72]

We had a mini moke on the Leander class warship i served on, lots of fun.

[@MrTallpoppy58]

As a fire protection engineer .... there is no effective fire extinguishing system for lithium batteries. A lithium fire is self sustaining. If the batteries burn ... there is only ONE thing to do ... RUN !

[@Dakun95]

True when damaged, improperly build, overcharged, short circuited, damaged or short circuited. When using them these things have to be taken into account. Buying high quality batteries, like sodium batteries that are safer and more durable is one such thing. Storing them in a designated area only used for these os an other. Having that area contained by firesystem and watertight(and thus having less draft airflow for the fire) doors is an other. Being able to isolate the area from for example the aircon you’ll be able to keep the fire contained to one area, reduced in sight or even out if the fireextingishing stystem will have enough water, pressure and a course of energie. This boat has big generators for the latter. So eventhough it is a risk it is a contained risk. Yes the boat might still be badly damaged and worse come to worse sink. But with the systems (firealarms and smoke detectors) it gives plenty of time to act (close doors isolate room and evacuate no essentional personal and prossibly evacuate entirely) with change of loss of life at a minimum. Having your tenders and the offloading equipment still operational during the fire bc of the way the systems work should make the use of tenders, communication equipment(for sos) possible. Its about improving odds. Sure it would suck to be stranded in the middle of the ocean but you’d still have good odds to be picked up by sea travelers or the coast guard. Firesafety can also be containment of fire, in this case most of those measures are static(built in), automatic or manual(either as backup or stand alone)

[@Alexprim313]

The concept of this boat is similar to Dashew Offshore FPB boats.

[@MoutinhoNuno]

Was coming to write this. ☺They‘ve hardly invented anything here... they know it works because FPBs are probably the most capable go-anywhere vessels in the world. Still a damn good looking boat. Well done.

[@Zepherian]

I think they're hard into marketing their own brand so they chose to not acknowledge the fact it's a copy. These sort of situations are why I generally hate marketing people. Anyone who follows the dashew stuff knows he gave his designs to a company... in the Isle of White. Still a damn fine vessel though, not taking away to the builders... but the whole marketing situation is unfortunate. If anything it would sell better if it accepted itself as a FPB clone, as those are unobtainium.

[@ZaphodsPlanet]

I as thinking the same thing...LOL

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@Zepherian Agree. INTELLIGENT marketing would pick UP the connection to Dashew, not ignore it. Dashew has incredibly good reputation and goodwill and avoiding that is simply dumb.

[@Zepherian]

@@LoanwordEggcorn It's dumb and disingenious to think that people that are spending millions don't know what they're getting. Dashew saved them millions in development costs, the least they could do is credit the man and his legacy. Not to mention the whole positive marketing of being the first modern dashew type boat to market. It's foolish imo, some people can't help themselves I guess.

[@davidl8523]

During your sea trial, what was the actual solar power output? Average daily kw/h would be great information. Thanks.

[@arksenprojects]

Hi, it’s a good question and one we hope to soon be able to provide a detailed answer to. Due to the wonderfully bleak British weather we have had during the trials period, we have as yet been unable to fully assess the solar panels power output. We will be monitoring this as the vessel moves into sunnier locations!

[@danielcookeb90]

​@@arksenprojectscurious as to why fellas? Are your BMS's so rudimentary as to not give basic system data?? That being said, if you'd said its the owners information to share, not yours, I'd have been happy. On a house system of similar size, installed in January on the West coast of Ireland, my brother can tell me when someone puts the kettle on! And to within a inch of exact, what, day to day, the system is doing! So, don't just "talk " the green talk, walk the green walk! The numbers are not that important, (my brother tweaked the battery environment to make a significant improvement), the transparency is! Great video though. Great job throughout. One tweak though, I would have totally isolated the LFP's to a stern quarter watertight locker, and run wires from there forward, with nothing else there, other than monitoring/suppression and possibly an ejection system? IF there is a runaway fire, you lose some melted aluminium and batteries, but nothing else! I am absolutely sure the BMS's are monitored to within an inch of their lives! Anything outside 10% of norm, take offline, isolate, and replace! Prevention beats cure! Super build!

[@fernaorosas]

there are some FPB available in Berthon International

[@vorjay]

if people wanted an FPB they would have gotten an FPB's and Deshaw's would still want to produce them. FPB's aren't built with stabilizers in mind, which is a huge selling point for this boat.

Great craft, aluminium takes the worry of rust out of the equation plus it has to be way lighter. Love the look and feel of this little ship and the tasteful Scandinavian look and feel of the interior with a complimentary colour pallet is nicely done. Would personally like the teak deck option but that's just me. Love the work space in the engine room.

She is going to tick every box needed in those far flung spots.

Superb thorough walkthrough of a very well designed and furnished boat. Loved the deckplan schematics shown, it really helps perspectives when your not there.

Honestly Circa Marine & you Arksen , are 2 of the yacht/boat/ship builders that I prefer this last years (with Bering-AvA or Sunreef 😉) But for me you must, like each other (with a few exceptions), put even more emphasis on green propulsion solutions as well as for life on board (solar/wind-tidal turbine/traction sail ...)

Steve and Linda Dashew may not have understood bathroom sinks belongs in the bathroom, but they sure did influenced a new generation of boat designers.

[@Dan-fl8ug]

can Arksen 85 operate by the onwer themself and without other professional crew members?

[@arksenprojects]

It fully depends on the owner-operator's preference. From a boat-handling perspective - absolutely. Then if the owner is someone who enjoys maintaining the vessel there would be nothing stopping you. Generally, people would choose to have at least one crew member on the vessel, whether they are full-time or part-time, to help maintain the boat in the long term. However, if you had a family onboard who are all keen to muck in and get involved and be part of the process then it can certainly be a full owner/operator's vessel. The layout options onboard can certainly flex to allow the ability to scale up or down the crew depending on the needs throughout the year.

I really wonder how much engine room noise the captain's cabin will experience. I also wonder if these have ethernet jacks in the cabins, and if there are other considerations for networking and satellite internet.

[@arksenprojects]

Between the engine room and the captain's cabin is the battery room. Both the engine room and battery room are each A60 fire insulated (which is inherently an excellent noise insulator) and then on the interior side, there is foam sound insulation and sound dampening panels.

[@arksenprojects]

Ethernet ports are fitted at workstations/desks as standard however network can be installed to each owner's requirements. Data services available and typically fitted, include Starlink, Iridium Certus, VSAT, 5G GSM etc, to the owner’s exact requirements.

Absolutely - we are able to offer custom designs of any size and are currently working on enquiries for much larger vessels, that offer this sort of capability, without losing the Arksen approach to fuel efficiency and range.

[@RiverKingBoats]

so many variations of FPB design nowdays..

[@BrettMoore66]

Wet room and dry locker makes a ton of sense. Something not seen on other explorers like Bering. Adding this to my NBBL. Not sure I like the Utilitarian style. I know aluminium is not super easy to work with so there is a limit to what you can do with it. The interior seems a bit chunky and cheap. I would have thought the interior would be up to par with explorer mini super yachts. I like the unsinkable self righting ability of these boats but.. it comes at a big cost. Why does the shipyard build the interior cheaper than say, Bering etc ? Im a little confused about life raft deployment and the self righting ability of the boat. Im thinking out aloud here so stay with me.. Im thinking about sailing around the world and some of the areas I want to sail have a significant frequency of freak waves. This is why I am considering Arksen. So if the ship is capsized and self rights.. how functional is it after this event ? How does the interior stand up to a roll, and will the life rafts automatically deploy in a recovered roll ? To be honest.. freak waves bother me far more than striking something submerged. While that does bother me esp with an aluminium hull, its the rollover that really scares me. For example a Bering can recover up to 90 degrees.. after that, its most stable position is upside down. How does your hull compare to a steel hull against being holed ? How would one even repair a holed aluminium hull ?

[@arksenprojects]

Thanks for your comment! We have emailed you directly with answers to your questions. All the best.

[@clifbradley]

You have an issue with Bering? I would think that if you were concerned with freak waves like the ones in the Indian Ocean, you would want a steel hull vessel that is more stable in the water with a less likely chance to be rolled over. Plus, the issue with aluminum if you do get a hole, is the need to do an emergency at sea patch. Way harder to,weld a patch on aluminum vs steel. And Bering isn't cheap. Their quality was better than Numarine and even a couple of Heesen's. Granted Feadship a d Benetti had nicer interiors, but you also,weren't paying Benetti and Feadship prices nor the tax that comes attached to that name. As far as the rollover hull, that is theoretical. They small scale tested it, but never ship that was fully built and kitted out. They didn't factor that in. If you are wanting to sail the world and have the money like you sound like you do, then look for a broker yacht from CdM, Feadship, Van DerWalk or Picchiotti. If you want a slightly discounted explorer, then Nordhavn has a proven track record of truly going anywhere, also Kingship, Cheoy Lee and Penglai all make excellent explorer and expedition yachts, built in China. I'm just a giant yacht nerd that has worked on yachts and toured yachts, so I am biased based on who isn't afraid to show you everything versus those companies that hides stuff.

[@BrettMoore66]

@@clifbradley No one builds to my exact standards. One of the biggest issues in yachts is water and mold. If you have an AC unit, you are pumping moisture and mold through your boat assuming aluminium AC Fins and standard ducting etc. I want copper alloy or silver and or alloy AC with copper ac. Bering understand copper pipes but they must go right to the floor so that mold does not grow in drains. Doors need to be a little elevated from the deck so water does not intrude in rough seas. Batteries can combust so the only way to handle that is some sort of ejection system or you lose your ship. Props are still using classic designs despite their inefficiencies and noise to marine life - we have many new prop designs now that lower noise and increase thrust as well as reducing cavitation.. important for full displacement vessels. Meeting EU environmental standards for interior air quality is critical for me too as I am mold and chemical sensitive. Im also wifi sensitive so I have a plethora of protections to reduce that too esp as there is radar and coms unit on top of the fly bridge. Range is critical as is fuel economy because if the world blows up now, fuel prices and even obtaining diesel fuel will be challenging. I have looked at used vessels for ages, I have spoken to many brokers who seem to have no clue about what they are selling. I really like Nautistyles (Nautiguys) new boat and their NBBL they have going.. very practical. For instance their kitchen design is very clever and I never thought to get a chef to design the galley. I want to live on board permanantly (for most of the year), so the boat will not be for charter unless I feel like sharing. Thus having a second owner like cabin is important, and of course.. I want the crew to be comfortable so they can enjoy being on board and of course.. safe in bad weather. Security is a concern too.. pirates are problem in some places I want to travel so that is a challenge too. Things like Side scan sonar, duel radar, and so much more. Size of the yacht is an issue too and whilst big seems better.. its not. Big creates problems with dock availability, legal issues with crew, and increases the cost of yearly maintenance. I have enough to spend ten years on the water if I am careful. After this, its back to land. Im honestly not sure when I would get sick of living on the water but at the moment whilst the world is so insane, having a long range explorer seems a great way to move away from regions of conflict or insane politics. So many issues arise that most never really think about. Most people do not want to live permanantly on their boats either. Sigh.. I should have ordered a yacht back in 2020 when I first considered it. As for Steel vs Aluminum.. I do get this. Bering have a terminal role of 90 degrees. This might seem a lot but if you look at the frequency of freak waves in the indian ocean etc.. 90 degrees might not cover it. Yes I know the problems with aluminium and repairability. I am considering this too and yes this vessel has not been tested which is frustrating because no one wants to buy an untested vessel. All of this causes me to wait.. mean while my money is devaluing whilst the cost of vessels keeps increasing lol.

27:57 I quit. This was the worst presentation by the worst spokes-models. . Next tour, show the product using voice-over narration. You could easily eliminate the spokes-models by using a professional voice-over artist... they are hired because they are articulate (none of those indecipherable odd accents and local slang)! . Show-instead-of-tell, this could easily be a ten-minute video.

Bering yachts are steel and about 2 times heavier and don't have nearly the same range.
