Explorer yacht builder and lifestyle brand, Arksen, has signed a five-year partnership with Yamaha Motor Europe, following the engine manufacturer’s launch of new models for 2025.
As part of the deal, all Arksen Discovery Series boats will come equipped with Yamaha outboard engines. The partnership initially applies to the Arksen 8 and will later roll out across the range of 20-55ft Arksen models within the Arksen Discovery and Adventure Series.
All Arksen Discovery Series boats distributed globally will be offered with a selection of outboard options from Yamaha. The Arksen 8 is offered as standard with a single 300hp V6 outboard with options to upgrade up to a maximum of 500hp with twin 250hp V6 outboards. Owners will also have the option of Yamaha’s Helm Master EX boat control systems.
According to Arksen, the companies have joined forces to solidify their shared ambition to create a more sustainable future. Yamaha says it is committed to decarbonisation through multiple technology solutions and its level of investment and support of OEM partners aligns with Arksen’s ethos and ambitious growth objectives.
Arksen owners will benefit from a premium on-water experience, inspiring the confidence to explore further while also benefiting from Yamaha’s comprehensive global dealership network, aftersales service and maintenance.
Nick Bailey, Arksen Discovery & Adventure Series business development manager, says: “We believe in using only the very best components and materials throughout our product ranges to create an exceptional experience and performance for our customers on the water. Partnering with Yamaha enables us to offer some of the most capable and advanced boats on the market today, enabling Arksen owners to explore some of the most wild and remote destinations on earth, helping inspire a love and appreciation for the natural world and the desire to protect it.”
Fabrice Lacoume, marine director at Yamaha Motor Europe says: “Arksen’s philosophy of adventure without compromise, paired with its keen focus on sustainability made the brand an ideal partner for Yamaha. We look forward to growing our sustainable capabilities and increasing choice for our customers.”
The Arksen Discovery Series boats range from six to 12 metres. The latest addition to the series, launched at the end of 2024, is the Arksen 8.
