I've noted Arksen, they pack a lot of "essentials" into a relatively small space, promise excellent capabilities, no fuss design and an interesting "Green" philosophy. I like the deck plans so definitely on the Explorer list.
This yacht company caught my interest, as many of their models struck me as a less hardcore/more luxury production re-envisioning of the famed Dashew FPBs.
Your insight into Feretti’s options put that company into the best light possible. The fire was tragic for everyone. Your suggestion about Feretti using the strength of their range to find options for their clients is a real insight into that company.
Thank you for showimg these boats. I chuckle when you say " up to " 180 degrees, that is totally upside down any more degrees is already starting to right itself. Anyway the 75 is for me.
I was waiting for this, thanks David. Cant wait to see your video about FPB 97 "Iceberg" explorer yatch and all Dashew Offshore boats. Real tough stuff that keeps safe and stable surfing down the waves with ease under bad weather. Superb.
Hi David. The eSysman covers fires a sinking yachts. Ive not heard of Arksen. Looks interesting and immpressed withe range. Plenty of solar panels. Plenty of choice for your purchase, Italian, princess, pershing. Great video thanks 😊
You would hope that the Dashews are getting commission from Arksen for the copy of their famed FPB. Also check out the original NZ FPB boat builder for his 24m Mollymook. I wonder if any of these copies can match the performance of the Dashew FPB?
I hope you carry on reporting on Arksan, particularly when the next Arksan is launched and you do a tour of one. This brand of yacht seems very much the way to go.
Another great video,, A channel that Provides,, Great information the latest technology and Yachts, From somebody that actually knows what they are talking about. Not like some channels who just get their information from other UA-cam suppliers and news..👍
Great video! Love the fact that a British yacht builder is using Aluminium throughout its entire range. If you put the approximate price in your thumbnail you will get the same amount of views as "aquaholic" as I feel the first thing people (dreamers) ask is "how much". I know the difficulty of some boat yard owners not allowing you to say what price a yacht costs but surely you could give a ballpark number? Keep up the great work it keeps us dreamers going!😁
So being aluminium no rust but what about impact and collision regarding the strength of the hull? hitting logs and or small bergs when in cold waters. Would want to go to colder climes as well as warmer waters!
Hi David, great video as always. I was wondering if you can maybe have an update on the Wider shipyard? I remember seeing their new Wider 150 a couple years ago and it blew my mind (and got me kinda hooked on yachts even though I'll probably never own one) but I've not seen anything new from them since then. I'd be very interested to see what they're producing now. Thanks
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was excited for the metal shark boat. But they are just to expensive for my price range. This is closer.
Since you were once a Freddy employee will Freddie be willing to work in other materials than the one that they normally work in less say the halls usually's made out GRP if you requested aluminum or steel or titanium would they build it out of that?
Hey David I am very interested in explorer yachts like the Bering 70 and the Arksen 65. Could you go over or direct me towards more information on the pros and cons of hull material- aluminum, steel, and fiberglass long term. I know all yachts require frequent maintenance, but where can I learn more in depth information on this subject.
Thank you for discussing Arksen! I would love a follow up to learn more about yacht's interior design, because there are no photos of the interior on the Arksen website.
Thats a nice range of vessels. The 75 looks amazing. I live in Southampton. And I have got some opportunities to visit a few vessels, and yards locally in the future. Unfortunately as my health is battling extra issues, on top of my normal unbearable disability issues. I have surgeries on hold - since pre covid, and in a bad way. So hope after they treat my extra issues, I can pop along to the tours. I'd love to get a tour of this Isle of Wight shipyard. It looks like the old Hovercraft factory site? I think that's the same hanger that Christopher Cockerall built his legendary hovercraft in East Cowes, when it was Saunders roe then Westland. My finances are tight at present also, so have to wait til after ops. Always look forward to seeing your videos sir. Maybe when you find your dream boat, I could get a your. A fool can dream lol.
Any design can be adapted in ways that the original designer may not anticipate; when publications reach a broader audience, we learn to be respectful of the new populations we reach. And by doing so, even one domain can serve many subjects despite its focus.
Is there any plans in doing that video on that yacht when it comes out doing the outside and inside preview of the video of what it looks like and when will it happen
I would love to. I’ll be in regular contact with Arksen, but of course much depends on whether the yacht owners give their permission for such a video.
What's the difference between an "explorer" yacht and a non-explorer yacht of same size and same range? I'm thinking of the "Silent 80" vs the "Silent 100 Explorer" apart from size. To be clear, even the Silent 60 has Trans-ocean crossing capabilities, so "exploring" cannot be only referring to the ability to go further. On the other hand it, I don't think the "Silent 100 Explorer" has the capability to cut through ice like some of the antarctic explorers have. I'd appreciate any insight :)
Hello David, I have a very simple question for you! What is your professional and personal opinion at the moment the best used Explorer yacht on the market. My price region would be 3 to 7 million euros. Thank you for your efforts..your Tom
Glad you've gotten to Arksen, I believe I posted about this one on your videos about 6-7 months ago. Yet I'm wondering what is Arisen doing with their 100ft yacht?
A quick check of their site suggests they offer a range of engines, even number of engines (2 or 3) and that being the case presumably they might consider putting the DIESEL outboards instead of petrol. If you do start to investigate this boat it's something to ask about. More fuel efficient. Great torque. And some places don't have petrol - but everywhere has diesel.
i dont know allot about yachts, but what i would expect with expensive ships these days is automation, with all kinds of autopilot settings camera`s, scanners, lidar and such so you could go hands off and relax and still move to your destination . things you start to see with electric cars. or is that a complete no no? it could safe allot of expensive personnel.
There is cruise control and auto pilot already, as well as cameras, sonar etc. But you can't ever have a 'self driving boat' like what Musk is 'promising' (but hasn't delivered). The ocean is just too unpredictable and if something goes wrong, responding in the first few seconds can make a huge, life saving difference. That's why they have watch berths on many, so the helm person can literally sleep next to the helm, especially in rough weather. You can put screens in your master cabin to check the engines, fuel, temp, weather, etc. But you wouldn't just set the trajectory and then sleep for 8 hours, with no one at the helm. All of the new tech is really cool and makes it easier for a couple to be owner operators, but there is no substitute for paying attention on the open sea.
Looks very nice. The range is very impressive. But the proof is in the passage making. Hopefully the owners will have a great success in their travels . Luxury explorers yachts seldom seem to actually crisscross the oceans even though the builders say they can. Cdm makes beutuful explorer yachts but they still seem to travel the med and not much beyond. Nordhavn builds very capable, trawler, yachts but they are far from elegant. But they travel the world in great numbers. I think the difference is in the owners mentality. Elegance and exploring seldom go hand in hand
Shame about Ferreitti hopefully all will work out for them and the owners. Arksen yachts just came up on my radar the 85 is perfect for what I'm looking for long range shallow draft for the Bahamas, but transpacific for Thailand,Japan, etc and owner operator or small crew depending upon the need of the moment,but it's just out of my price range.
I have watched your channel for some time and can now answer a question for you that you have posed on this vid...you asked why the reluctance to reveal and be transparent about prices...the answer is simple...it is all about divulging Profit Margin...as PT Barnum once said, there is nothing wrong with making a Profit....I can tell you that customers can be completely aware of all costs but completely ignorant to the purpose of profit except superficially...and I don't care how informed the consumer...no matter how razor thin your profit margins are to remain viable and in business in any industry...customers will always harbor resentment over the Profit number because they will always disagree the amount of money you apportion to risk vs. investing your capital...I have sat with over 10 thousand customers over a 40 year career, and not one didn't have a scowl when they found out profit....they always feel it is too much..and always feel ripped off in some form or fashion....even if you lay out all of the fixed and variable costs...they don't believe they should have to fit the bill for the "risk" and that is the answer why the lack of transparency....General Motors doesn't reveal it, so why should anyone else...
Hi Mr. Seal. All due respect. I was a subscriber, but have noticed. you no longer do the amazing walk-thru's or visit the builder. Now you're more focused on 60 second views, and reactions. (one of the reasons I un-sub'ed). No I see you are not even doing a walk-thu, but your just promoting a new venture (un-proven, and no measured history of excellence). I "fear" you are now "big" enough that you no longer care about the quality, and details, but are just looking for the paycheck. Is this truly what Palmer &Johnson wanted? I know it's not what I did when I fell in love with your channel 3 years ago.

So happy you constantly bring 'new' brands under the attention of us mere mortals. I love the styling on the Arksen, would love to see the interiors
Explorer yachts are my preferred subject. After girls of course.
Haha! You can enjoy both of course!
I've noted Arksen, they pack a lot of "essentials" into a relatively small space, promise excellent capabilities, no fuss design and an interesting "Green" philosophy. I like the deck plans so definitely on the Explorer list.
David, I think you were a Navy Seal in your last life. The yachts are awesome
Wow nice find! Never heard of this one before.. Very cool! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Reminds me of a Dashew which is an awesome yacht and design. Wouldn't be surprised if they looked at the Dashew for some design cues
This yacht company caught my interest, as many of their models struck me as a less hardcore/more luxury production re-envisioning of the famed Dashew FPBs.
seems like a less efficient hull design though
Have to agree, nice that more people noticed it
I was thinking of the FPB's as well.
As soon as I saw the first one, FPB came to mind. I would love to see another Iceberg out and about.
Arksen vs Bering, that's the question.
Your insight into Feretti’s options put that company into the best light possible. The fire was tragic for everyone. Your suggestion about Feretti using the strength of their range to find options for their clients is a real insight into that company.
This sounds very interesting, impressive range. a tour of the insides of the larger yacht would be interesting as would an interview with the founder.
Thanks for the feedback. I completely agree, both of those things would be super-interesting.
I would absolutely like to see more videos regarding Arksen yachts
Thank you for showimg these boats. I chuckle when you say " up to " 180 degrees, that is totally upside down any more degrees is already starting to right itself. Anyway the 75 is for me.

I'm looking forward to your next walkthrough. :)
I’m glad you finally did a video on Arksen
They look eerily like Dashew FPBs. And that's a legacy that needs to live on. Let's hope they nail it.
My thoughts exactly. That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the thumbnail for the video.
Hi David. The eSysman covers fires a sinking yachts. Ive not heard of Arksen. Looks interesting and immpressed withe range. Plenty of solar panels. Plenty of choice for your purchase, Italian, princess, pershing. Great video thanks 😊
These Arksen products are looking like the Dashew FPB. Are they inspire by or do they use the remain plans ?
You would hope that the Dashews are getting commission from Arksen for the copy of their famed FPB. Also check out the original NZ FPB boat builder for his 24m Mollymook. I wonder if any of these copies can match the performance of the Dashew FPB?
I hope you carry on reporting on Arksan, particularly when the next Arksan is launched and you do a tour of one. This brand of yacht seems very much the way to go.
I've had my eye on Arksen for a while now, yes, they let you change stuff to your liking. You can do outboards or inboards as well if you like.
This is quite the fastinating set of yachts. I'd definitely be interested in learning more.
I’ve kept my eye on them for the past year! I think they’ll be great!

Yes! I will produce a "short" to answer this...although it may not be the answer you are hoping for 😳

Love the 65 lines.
Hi David. Ask them about the theoretical specifications of the hybrid model. Please.
Thanks advance.
Since you were once a Freddy employee will Freddie be willing to work in other materials than the one that they normally work in less say the halls usually's made out GRP if you requested aluminum or steel or titanium would they build it out of that?
I am interested on the electrical system with the solar. How much of the hotel systems can you run off motor?
I hope to be speaking to the founder Jasper Smith very soon....so I'll ask for more details.

Oh and sorry for not referring to Arksen models. I'm just not familiar with them as I am with Silent Yachts.
Arksen makes a really good explorer
Subscribed!
Need more information especially on the 95ft
Very good connect
Reminds me of the Dashew boats
Hello David,
I have a very simple question for you! What is your professional and personal opinion at the moment the best used Explorer yacht on the market. My price region would be 3 to 7 million euros. Thank you for your efforts..your Tom
Glad you've gotten to Arksen, I believe I posted about this one on your videos about 6-7 months ago. Yet I'm wondering what is Arisen doing with their 100ft yacht?
I hate word auto correct
David, will you be covering anytime soon SunReef's new eco yachts and power yachts? Cheers
David - Arksen, or Bering?? 🤔
A quick check of their site suggests they offer a range of engines, even number of engines (2 or 3) and that being the case presumably they might consider putting the DIESEL outboards instead of petrol. If you do start to investigate this boat it's something to ask about. More fuel efficient. Great torque. And some places don't have petrol - but everywhere has diesel.
These are upmarket Dashew designs.
Looks a bit like the FPB series. Interesting
Aluminum hull Though !!!!!
Sounds a lot like an upscaled FPB.
Carbon copies of Dashew yachts
Came to say the same thing.
It’s not a bad thing
i dont know allot about yachts, but what i would expect with expensive ships these days is automation, with all kinds of autopilot settings camera`s, scanners, lidar and such so you could go hands off and relax and still move to your destination . things you start to see with electric cars. or is that a complete no no? it could safe allot of expensive personnel.

They found the niche due to Dashew stopped selling.
I think the Arksen 85 is about £10 Million.😮
Seems like a copy of Dashew explorers.
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
I don't know about having a hull made of Aluminium, for an explorer yacht. I would rather have an Ice or Polar Class 12mm+ steel hull.
Cool expedition boats!
Plz check out my favorite rib boats -- Life Proof Boats.
All Aluminum expedition boats.
Just watching him talk from the back of that boat, with the horizon going up and down, left me sea sick! I'm afraid yachting is just not for me.
Sounds like it's made from recycled beer cans
