Showing the yacht in progress is great. Gives an appreciation to the immense amount of work that goes on behind the scenes 👌

Being awake at 0200 my time (TX, USA) and I have to say this enjoyable video has helped me relax to the point where I believe I can get the much needed rest I've been lacking.

Fascinating, nice to see more technical detail. I had never even heard of them before this video.

This reminds me of the FPB series except the stern of the FPB curves in like on a battleship, while this one’s broadens a bit like some sailing yachts.

the David Attenborough of Yachting at is best, another great video with wonderful narration , thanks for sharing

This video made me remember how I now and then get the idea of creating my own yacht building company...It always ends with Can't be done have not enough knowledge and money

This looks like a Dashew FPB

Thank you for visiting Arksen and showing their yacht line. Peace

A no nonsense exployer yacht, when you set sail I think your be set for anything, nice video

What a great explorer yacht, I love the stylish interior decor as much as the capabilities and range. I hope she'll come and explore the SE Asian region one day! Thanks for sharing another wonderful VDO David!

David, as always, a splendid video and some equally splendid attributes to the yachting world from Arksen, impressive indeed. And it's British!!

This is truth in Yacht building , plus aimed at the wealthy but adventurous owners.

Look forward to see what You always have on Deck! Think I’m going to love this Company🤙🏽

Boat design reminds me of a Dashew which is one of the best explorer yachts ever made

0:35 WOW, best hangar doors ever!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Without a doubt, one of the most interesting videos you've ever done (and that's saying something-whilst I don't care for many of the vessels you present, your videos are always a pleasure to watch). Looking forward to seeing your video on a completed vessel, bound to be a corker!

Thanks for another proper video. Classy as usual.

Amazing yacht builds there.. Love that they are self rightening as well.. Very nice safety feature.. thanks for sharing! 👍👍

You just won't see this kind of video on any other yachting channel. I loved the super techie and detailed stuff. Cooling/heating copied from a penguin - damn!

Damn this was a tech savvy episode. I mean we are learning about penguin ankles, Non-reflective light sensors, making scale models and a man that just wants to innovate, build yachts and send people exploring. Jasper is my spirit animal. Besides Luke Hammond that is.. M/Y Bella captain and an awesome guy. Jasper should hire him. And Brennan Dates to design the galleys. Esysman for the electronics and Jared Watney to do the crew quarters, Nautistyles and Nick to review it. The lottery really needs to come my way. I want the first Arksen 130' amd an 85 to be my shadow boat/research vessel/submarine, tender, ATV's and jet ski carrier. I already designed it too. Drew it out in pen no less.

Really love this approach, that goes into understanding the concepts and techniques behind a yacht builders production and the yacht's design features. Excellent video in sharing how very well thought out the Arksen Explorer yachts are.

An extraordinary video detailing an extraordinary yacht builder, David. Thank you so much.

great video! thanks david, be good.

Just give us more of such content! This is the stuff of inspiration.....

Another fantastic video guys, great to see that wet model testing is still in use, that was my dream job when I was at school. 👍

Magnificent. Fabulous builds.

Great video Dave - I am envious of the high quality production. Congratulations.

These types of videos are good for me and you. The information will make me a better buyer and give you a edge when sales come up. Never knew about the rib yacht.

Beautiful beautiful boats David great video as always God bless😃🙏🏽🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸

Great video. These yachts are fantastic. Thank you.

Nice video! Will look forward to more from this builder. They seem to have some great ideas.

Are you familiar with the Dashew boats that were being built for a number of years? I believe the owners of retired now and stopped building. Their entire purpose was to build boats that surfed at all speeds. also boats that could be safely operated by the owners and enclosed areas in poor exterior conditions. Do you know how these boards compare to the Dashew? The design the look of the boats they look almost identical.

Like nothing else? Looks like a Dashew FPB minus the finesse. Sweet boat though.

Looks like a new take on the Dashew Offshoare FPBs. Nice

Interesting episode. Looking forward to a walk through when this is built 😊

.... to have a vision of a complex product and make it a beautiful reality is a victory of the human spirit... this team is amazing ( the animation at 2:00 was really cool )

awesome yacht and awesome presentation. can't wait to see the review of the finished hull 1

Surely this will be an absolute dream for many, many people besides myself, lol. Great film, thank you.

Beautiful! Impressive!

My Dream Yacht!!

She looks like she will be an adventurous beauty. Well done sir, Well done.

Hi David. The IOW is aperfect place build an explorer, with the atlantic ocean for sea trials. Arken are building yachts with safety, strength and luxury. The range of 7000 nm and all the innovations provides all the bells and whistles. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊

Looks lovely! Would love to see the finished article once complete!!

This Yacht is Like a FAZIOLI Piano! SO AWESOME!!!

Wow a video comparing Bering and arksen would be very interesting. Thanks for this video, as always…. Amazing.

Again a big thankyou

My house was built in the 80's and has the same type of heat /air exchanger.

Brilliant! I'm guessing there's a Dashew influence here?

the penguin story is cute, but heat ex-changers have been around for a while at this point and somehow i doubt the birds had much to do with it. :)

great engineering

My dream yacht, the 85.

Can’t wait to see finished product, will it persuade me to switch from Bering to Arksan?

Wow. I want one

David, Do you know what software this yacht builders use for their animations?

Great project! I recommend AESUB Scanningspray. A matting spray which you apply prior scanning. It enables the scanner to capture also the aluminum surface. After the scan it disappears by itself automatically.

Again its a copy or licended replica of the FPB yachts by dashew

Cool 😎

Impressive David. Your videos are Broadcast tv quality. Filming, editing, narration. For a KZfaq channel? Looking at exterior, is this yacht using Fairing? Expensive. How readily does that adhere to aluminium? Also, could you visit Elling. Yachts in Holland? Their boats are also self righting and have trans-Atlantic capability.

nice boats!

Are they required to do a live test of the self-righting capability for certification, or do they just have to prove that it works on paper/in models? I've seen smaller vessels self-right, but never anything that large!

Am aching to see Arsken 85 hull #1 sea trials. Will you be filming it? I also want to see that interior and the hybrid propulsion…/ am practical panting with anticipation

When are we are going to see more from Arksen, interiors details and more?

One more grate presentation! May I have a contact of this Turkish interior manufacturer? Thanks and Looking forward for the next video

I live in Southampton, so know that building very well. Only 5 miles via Red Funnel. David if you still in the area. You most welcome for a cuppa. Love to meet you oneday. This company reminds me so much of Bering yachts. Innovative, Safety to the hilt e.g 12mm Hull instead of 6mm. Lloyd's registered vessels are the pinnacle in design. As much as I get companies, that are using other nationalities for flag registration etc. I think any company that uses Lloyd's is a company you can trust. I love Bering, and looking forward to Nautistyles 'Rico and Victoria's' B75 being built. Seeing how all their dream list will be incorporated into Alexias amazing product. Now I'm saying this about Bering, cause I can image Arksen having exactly the same capabilities. As I live locally. I would love a tour when the 85 is complete. Being a 50yr old disabled British Army Veteran, battling multiple degenerative physicsl and mental health battles. It might take time to overcome my extra on top health issues before I could travel. So it might still only be a dream to visit. I have worked in many jobs (Jack of many master of none lol). During my time at Aerostructures in Hamble I started as storekeeper, then sheet turner/conductivity tester. Then semi skilled de-burrer. Then semi skilled heat will specialist (unfortunately I was about to start my 4th Yr in the dept and was on the internal semi skilled to skilled training). I was experienced on all heat treatments (Solutionising, Precip, Natural Ageing, Hardness and Conductivity, Tri acid etching, and other roles like death greaser machine). So know how strong and diverse Aluminium can be. I think it will be an amazing yacht. Part of an amazing concept.

As others have said, it really looks to be based on Steve and Linda Dashew's FPB design. It even has similar flopper stoppers, although, as noted by others, the stern is slightly different. I suspect it'll blend aesthetics with functionality a little more so it appeals to a wider audience than the FPB's did, not that they weren't successful in their own right, nor were they utilitarian on the inside, quite the opposite in reality ! It's said that "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" I wish them well.

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

You can get energy recovery ventilation systems for houses.

If you had to buy a Bearing or a Arksen wich One you would choose?

I’m day dream taking it to the fordes in Finland

Would you say the 65 is owner operator territory?

Looks like a great concept for the coast guard, great for rescuing people & plenty of space to store rescued animals including large farm animals. Something with more capacity than a RHIB while being able to go places where a 400 foot cutter can't go. For instance what if you come across a horse, a bear, or some deer that was washed into the sea? You wouldn't want to try to get a bear into a helicopter, you could lower a tanning platform, let the tired out bear climb onto it and rest, and while it was laying down exhausted a veterinarian can tranquilize it so it could be moved to a cage & transferred to a wild life rescue center. You could have a bear, a bunch of dogs & cats, and a large number of people transported in one trip, try doing that with a helicopter or RHIB.

It is good to see that a British Yacht Designers and British Ship Yard, is leading the way in New Aluminium tough long range hybrid economy environment friendly Explorer Yachts too, we like these yachts. Also the idea over a large boat deck area too, for a tender and it seems small 2 or 3 person submersible too, or ROV's and UAV's too Could this boat deck area, be large enough for either the like of 7/9m Sealeg Amphibious Craft, or an 8/10m Aluminium landing craft with folding up wheels like the Sealeg boats? Are these Arksen yachts, fitted with state of the art underwater sensors and cameras, or could they be? Either forward and down looking passive active sonar and underwater cameras, or side wards looking passive sonar or all round 360 degree underwater cameras. Even a mini towed side and bottom scan sonar array and underwater camera system too, as there yachts are Explorer yachts after all?

Can these Arksen Explorer Yachts, either the 75 and 85, or the smallest Arksen Explorer Yacht too. Can be made or built to be disabled Accessible, or accessible for those with limited mobility or sensory impairments, or just elderly with health issues too?

Typical build time for a yacht is two to three years. How long did this take?

A modern and blocky version of the FPB.

Great yacht, and great video about it being built. But what is going on at 10:01? Looks a bit sketchy to stop the yacht so close to an iceberg.

Is it has sea axe architecture?

I live Arksen. Besides Bering, Numarine, Kingship and CdM. The Explorer yacht is just something I would buy should I have the money. just alas, I don't. Taking an Arksen with kids to the Galapagos, Antarctica and Alaska. That's the dream. Oh by the way, since not all of my questions were asked during the interview, I emailed Jasper. No reply.

Its too bad their youtube channel doesn't upload any updates on the building process. In one year they posted two half minute videos of a hull turn and bridge deck. You should tell them we would like to see more.

Want one.

Might have been nice to give folks an idea of cost of such a beauty.. Of course, if I could afford it, I'd not be asking.

That was the longest ad I’ve seen

Power boats for sale. Yachts have sails. State the size of fuel tank & range of vessel. What's your Carbon footprint per nautical mile?

7,000 NM is extremely impressive.

England: "Belt and Braces." US: "Belt and Suspenders." In America "braces" are the things that straighten your teeth. In the UK, "suspenders" are what Americans call a "garter belt." Apparently "belt" means the same thing in both places. That's good to know. I was concerned they called them a "boot" or a "spanner" or some such weirdness. 😂😂😂

Pretty groovy. BTW, It's Hyundai - pronounced like Sunday (direct from the manu')

It's always good to see British ship builders. Love the idea of penguin feet to help with cooling and the warming of air in the ship, Odd idea???? No we could learn a lot from mother nature and how animals on sea and land cope with Mother Nature weather sea conditions. Great ship. Love it hope to see more of Arksan in your videos.

How many actual finished yachts have they delivered. While it all sounds impressive, it also sounds aspirational with just cgi renders. They could be a great yacht if they get it right

I drive a Hyundai Palisade. Amazing vehicle. So I approve the Hyundai generators. Lol.

The whistling while you speak drives me insane could not watch

Looks a little like a Dashew FPB 97

its the FPB yacht

Since the owner isn’t interested in making money I’ll take one of the 85 foot vessels for $1 million. I think that’s pretty fair

If it's made of aluminium remember the problem AUSTRALIA patrol boats with their cracks due to heavy weather use. Hope this is not a problem

Ha first !

When I look at the derivative style of these things, I'm reminded of a guy who drives up to the front of a nice hotel in his purple Lamborghini. He disembarks and helps his Kardashian clone bimbo girlfriend wrestle her glitter-clad, polymer-filler laden self out of the car. Just then an older guy pulls up in a nicely restored old Jag saloon, escorted by his nicely preserved 60 something lady, wearing a 20 year old cashmere sweater with a tiny moth hole in one sleeve. The guy in the Lamborghini suddenly feels vaguely inadequate, but he isn't quite sure why. This is his boat.

Between Arksen, Bearing, and Vision yachts i believe there's the possibility of designing, building an amazing (all aluminum) solar/hydrogen explorer catamaran. Go anywhere, through any sea state, safely

I hope it's not an easy credit rip off scam cuz if when you say more people could afford it sounds like they're going to just make easy credit the first late payment they come and repo it

This is a comment.

Self righting yacht that's a bold claim let's see a fully loaded one try this

There are some great tech features, but this particular ship design in and of itself will never become a full marketable product. It differs way too far from the tank type builds that most want for long range travel. You have features worth marketing into other builds but that's all. Best wishes to all
