This is an amazing boat but the one problem is this is not great for summer/equator use since all the exposed aluminum will get very hot and you will burn yourself and the ac will eat your range.

My Dad used to have a 55 Ft Symbol that he used to cruise the west coast from California to Alaska. We would have never seen him again if he had this boat.

That's kind of you to say, thank you! - Jack

After seeing other walk-through of this yacht, I now realize the importance of knowing how best to present it in a way that's both informative and interesting to the viewer/potential customer. Great review/walk-through of a really fascinating yacht. Certainly one of a few yachts that are serious explorer candidates in this size range. Will keep an eye out for the sea trial and put this yacht at the top of the wish list.

This boat definitely stands out. Well designed and laid out.

Fantastic review of an incredible yacht. I love the detail you pack into the episodes, particularly on the ships systems, which makes this one of the best boat channels out there. I hadn't actually registered this was a UK boat until near the end when I re-checked the title - its really hard to square the warm and inviting interior with the rugged exterior and its massively impressive as a result. One of the most interesting and thoughtful boats I've seen reviewed anywhere - an amazing machine.

Wow! I'm just 4 minutes in the video and I'm already impressed. Looks like a life proof boat on steroids. The best boat I've seen so far for my taste. Even the price tag at around 7 million (which I don't have yet) seems reasonable. Can't wait to see more of this fantastic vessel.

An absolutely delightful tour Jack!

Great tour! Have seen other videos of the Arksen, and am more impressed with them every time I get a tour. It would be a great life to put this to its best use.

The adventures are endless with this beauty!!

I absolutely love this boat. I think it may be perfect.

Thank you, love the thought put into the Arksen. Rugged utilitarian on the outside, and cozy on the inside. Like a Dashew Offshore FPB

Awesome! I’ve been waiting for this for a looong time!

Its hard not to see the Dashew FPB influence in this boat, but teken to a higher level of refinement, especially the interior. The FPBs seem so spartain inside, whike this is warm and inviting with a lot of thought invested. Captain’s quarters by the engineering space is a great idea. Range is outstanding, and the ability to get to 14knts in a pinch will let skirt a lot of unexpected bad weather.

Perfect boat for anywhere in the world! Great job on the review

What an interesting boat, great review Jack. Loving the huge on-deck tender, although seeing a few feet being stubbed on the deck lashings. The inside is cracking! Just need a review of Brave Challenger in the background of the shots now!

Awesome ship and expertly presented!

amazing tour, that thing is verry impressiv

Very nice Jack thank you for your excellent review

My goodness, this is a LOT of boat. The engine room was amazing! I'm looking for a smaller 1-person solo yacht but this is a really neat tour to see. I am a landlubber for sure, I don't know what I'd do. This is a lot of boat for me but I enjoyed it anyway. I am learning a lot. I am going to subscribe. It's wonderful seeing such amazing workmanship.

Well done! Excellent informed review. Great energy and knowledge!

Well presented, as always! A most excellent explorer vessel. You could actually live on this beauty. The sense of tensile strength and storm proofing build, is very impressive. You would feel safe in this explorer; whether in calm or rough seas. Definitely a serious consideration if I decided to go the explorer way. Very impressive. Regards KMW

beautiful yacht. the concept is lifted from the Dashew FPB concept but im glad arkson and a couple other companies are continuing with his ideas. the scania engines seem an odd choice though. and i cant help but think that the aliminum must get blazing hot under foot in th equatorial sun. yes its well insulated but it must be scorching to the bare foot. very well presented as usual Jack. really looking forward to the sea trial.

Excellent presentation. This guy is a natural presenter.

A very professional and knowledgeable presentation 👍👍

I like Arksen they are building amazing ship. Recycled aluminum used in building the boat. She has safety and comfort built in, for any part of the world any type weather or sea conditions. The gallery, dining, seating or relaxing area are homely and the colour decore are relaxing. As is the master cabin and guest accomodations again relaxing, restful decor. Each cabin had it own heads. The crew areas are again comfortable and each cabin have their of own heads, laundry room. Overall she is a versatile boat planned to meet many different weather and sea conditions, she very economic in her use of fuel. She is made yo be sble to repair if something goes wrong with back ups until you can somewhere to do repairs. She is amazing

Brilliant video and presentation. First one I see of your videos, but not the last 👌🏻😃

Another excellent video Jack! Any chance you might get aboard the Naval Yachts XPM 85? That seems like the most direct competitor to this boat, and I'd love to hear your opinions as to the differences and similarities.

You did an excellent tour

Game changer of a boat!

Best boat ever on the channel in my opinion...

What a beautiful and well engineered yacht.

That boat is amazing. Someone will have a great adventure in this.

What an impressive beast of a boat

Amazing boat. It does look very well thought out.

A very interesting yacht, not keen on the bare Aluminium look on the outside but then it is not meant to be a pretty Monaco poser. Love the interior, lots of space and a good layout and very impressive engine room and associated specs. Great tour Jack thank you.

Thank you for an impressive walk through of an impressive yacht. I like the way you presented it, and, being a retired US Navy sailor, I appreciate the redundancies in the engineering spaces, including hand pumps, and those are some serious water tight doors. I like it that you can also see at a glance if any of those doors are open from various displays. Its a very nice boat that would go nicely with my EarthRoamer SX. ( just kidding about the EarthRoamer, lol).

What a fantastic tour, Jack. Absolutely phenomenal beasty...and so was the boat arf arf. Fascinating. I noticed that you mentioned Bering as being a competitor for stylish interiors (and they are imo, plus the very high quality build of their explorer yachts) but Arksen seem to be just as impressive with build/redundancy/black and grey water treatment etcetc....the list goes on....and interiors too. Very interesting indeed and thank you to you and the team for that.

What a boat ! It would be great to be able to interview the owner and find out about all their voyage plans.

Imagine you actually have to decide between a Nordhavn, a Bering and this beautiful and clever explorer. Thank god I can admire them all and don't have to chose between. I'm not sure I could.

Great yacht, I would remove the forward crane and have a hydraulic crane on the stern and seakeepers vs. the wings. Gorgeous yacht!

Great review of a fantastic boat, however - you are called Yachtbuyer and you don’t give us any idea or ball park figure for the cost of it. Not cheap, I’m sure, but good to know.
