25 Jun Arksen Launch 85ft Explorer Vessel

The Arksen 85, Project Pelagos, has been launched from the shipyard in the Isle of Wight. This privately owned Arksen Explorer Vessel has hit the water for the first time ahead of her sea trials and ultimate handover to the client.

The highly awaited Arksen 85 is a remarkably efficient long-range explorer, capable of taking on global adventures or equally at home weekend cruising with family and friends. This vessel is one of two 85′ vessels currently in build.

Project Pelagos has been designed specifically with family life in mind. The vessel takes the same efficient hull design and three-deck formation as all Arksen 85s but with an interior customised to their requirements. While the owner is keen to explore further afield with friends, the primary usage is for the family in the Mediterranean. The interior takes a more relaxed seating format on the main deck, providing a large, open-plan family space and preferring the al-fresco dining the warmer climates offer. Replacing the standard snug for a Captain’s cabin allows the vessel to retain the three guest cabins and owners’ suite.
