Arksen appoints Moravia Yachting for next Arksen 85
Luxury adventure brand and boatbuilder, Arksen, has appointed Moravia Yachting as the central agent for the sale of the next Arksen 85.
Following the success of the first two Arksen 85 vessels, Project Pelagos and Project Ocean, the third hull in the Explorer Series is now for sale. Moravia Yachting will now lead the sales process with the vessel being available 18 months from signature.
Built at the OCEA-owned Wight Shipyard on the Isle of Wight, UK, with naval architecture and exterior design by Humphreys Yacht Design, the Arksen 85 is the flagship of Arksen’s Explorer Series. In February 2025, Arksen founder Jasper Smith sat down with MIN to discuss the brand proposition, the new flagship and what’s next for the brand that ‘does things differently’. Read the full Arksen interview online.
The Arksen 85’s engineering and design innovation claims to deliver a balance of performance, sustainability, and long-range capability, featuring enhanced safety, exceptional range, advanced stabilisation, and a robust aluminium hull designed for durability in extreme environments.
The Arksen 85’s interior is designed by award winning studio Design Unlimited.
For those looking to get a closer look at the Arksen 85, Project Ocean will be available for public viewing at a number of international boat shows this year.
Jasper Smith, founder and CEO of Arksen, says: “At Arksen, we craft exceptional yachts for the most adventurous sailors. More than vessels, they are a statement of intent—to explore, to push boundaries, and to inspire curiosity about the world around us. Crafted in partnership with our clients, our aim is not only to build the ultimate explorer yachts but to provide our clients with access to a new world of adventure and a community driven by passion. We are hugely excited to work with Moravia due to their client-centric approach, global presence and enthusiasm to support Arksen’s mission. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish together.”
Sam Tucker, broker at Moravia Yachting, adds: “The yachting world is far larger than the Mediterranean, and it’s a pleasure to work with Arksen who are enabling aspiring owners to go further afield. Having spent significant time with both the designers and the shipyard, it’s clear that the Arksen 85 model is optimised for performance and reliability, delivering the absolute highest standards from a technical point of view.”
