Build Quality

The Arksen 45 is constructed in partnership with the renowned British motorboat and RIB specialists, Ring Powercraft. It is based on their proven hull design, currently used in defense and commercial sectors. Designed according to Lloyds' structural SSC rules, the vessel can optionally be coded under MCA regulations for commercial use.

Performance

The Arksen 45 is a versatile, multifunctional vessel that can be configured for leisure, commercial, and research trips, whether for independent adventurous excursions or as a tender/chase boat. The flagship of the Adventure series ensures a confident and comfortable ride, even in challenging conditions, with its proven hull, enclosed wheelhouse, and suspended seats being just a few of its standout features.

Sustainability

For us, the sustainability of our vessels goes beyond the careful selection of materials, onboard systems, or hull design efficiency. We take responsibility for the use of the ship throughout its entire lifecycle. With our services and platforms, we provide new ways to enhance the use and enjoyment of our Explorer and Adventure series, ensuring they are not a wasted resource. Our approach includes taking responsibility for our environmental impact from the perspective of our business, products, community, and industry. We aim not only to reduce our ecological and social impact through our ESG program but also to work closely with our partners, owners, and research institutions to find joint solutions for a more sustainable maritime future.

Easy Access

The aft deck offers flexible configurations with options for a barbecue, wet bar, mini-fridge, and dining for four. Excellent access to the engine room is available if equipped with inboard engines or to a large storage compartment when outfitted with outboard engines.

Overnight Comfort

The Arksen 45 provides a safe and comfortable ride in some of the world's most challenging locations. The enclosed wheelhouse features suspended seats and heating or air conditioning as needed. In the separate forward cabin and full-height shower room, guests can refresh in privacy after a dive or a day at the beach, while the spacious, protective main cabin offers flexible seating and accommodations for up to four. This makes overnight adventures possible, allowing owners and their guests to spend more time at their chosen destinations.

Design Features

The large aft deck with an adjustable attachment system and the roof rack of the wheelhouse allow for significant equipment transport. Modular configuration enables function changes from leisure and relaxation to diving and watersports, accommodating diving gear, kayaks, surfboards, motorcycles, research equipment, and more. It can be as adaptable and flexible as your imagination!

Lifestyle

The high-end interior finish of the Arksen 45 allows for four sleeping places with a double bed in the forward cabin and a dinette in the wheelhouse that can convert into another sleeping area. The headroom in the forward cabin is 190cm, as is in the separate shower and toilet area. Opposite the dinette is a fully equipped galley with a sink, stove, oven, and refrigeration, providing everything needed for friends or family to get away.

Experience

Equally at home covering long distances at high cruising speeds or quietly pottering around local bays, and with plenty of storage, the Arksen 45 can take you on multi-day, independent adventures with the ability to spend more time in your chosen destination. Coupled with the Arksen Explorers Club and global support, you will have the opportunity and all the support to take on your next adventure of any size.

Exterior Options

Layouts can be configured to meet individual needs. Customizable options include multiple suspended seats, a small or no galley layout, and an open aft end of the wheelhouse. Heating and air conditioning are also available.

Philosophy Behind The Arksen 45

In line with our design ethos to create exceptional vessels to encourage exploration, inspire discovery, and reconnect people with the ocean, the Arksen 45 further answers the call of the wild with the development of the Adventure Series. Built with the same priorities as the Explorer series, featuring an efficient seaworthy hull, high payload capacity, and onboard comfort regardless of the weather, but this time with a focus on adventures closer to home. The Arksen 45, built for independent excursions, has the capability to take you on a multi-day adventure with the comfort and functionality expected from a larger vessel, with a range of up to 500 nautical miles and sprint speeds exceeding 50 knots, depending on the choice of propulsion. With the Arksen 45, you no longer have to choose between activities; you only need to decide how much you think can fit in a day. The innovative rail system that runs flush across the deck offers a range of flexibility, with interchangeable racks, furniture, and machinery for a variety of hobbies. Thanks to the modular approach, the vessel can be tailored to the specific requirements of the owner, whether it’s diving, paddleboarding, kayaking, biking, or fishing, with the Arksen 45, you can make the most of your weekend adventures. While the flexible design provides a comfortable living and dining space for a vessel of its size, it is also equipped to operate as a tender or chase boat for a large yacht or specialized expedition vessel.

Arksen collaborates with Ring Powercraft. Dominic Byrne, Sales & Marketing Director of Arksen, notes: “The decision to partner with Ring Powercraft was the obvious choice given their 50 years of experience in developing performance boats for the leisure market. The result is an exceptional offshore adventure vessel that can navigate the toughest conditions while remaining fast and efficient. The Arksen 45 features an enclosed wheelhouse, suspended seats, a dinette adjacent to the fully equipped galley, and accommodates up to four people on board, plus a full-height shower room. Additional options include heating and air conditioning, as well as twin or triple outboard engines and inboard options. With the ability to escape to incredible locations, regardless of the weather, this thoroughbred vessel is a true premium comfort SUV, ideal for long weekends as a base for the ultimate adventure.” Byrne continues: “We wanted to create a new type of boat, one that can continually adapt to the needs of the owner and their family. Something that is comfortable, safe, and versatile enough to be used year-round as a day boat, weekend explorer, chase boat, or tender. We wanted a boat that could encompass all these things, so we developed the Arksen 45.” The Arksen 45 will be launched this year, with details to follow.
