Wow! Thanks for the great response to this tour. Don't forget to hit the SUBSCRIBE button so you don't miss the sea trial video 💪
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.
Well, can add this to list of things I'll never own unless I win the lotto, but will definitely be at the top of the list of things to get if I ever do win it
Fantastic boat and tour. Jack is arguably the best boat reviewer there is, so concise and informative without any flimflam. 🎉
That's kind of you to say, thank you! - Jack
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.
? What a bizarre and hostile response.
@@jeffmcallister7040 Yes exactly like your mega stupid comment about this being perfect.
@@magnusenamd That's so out of left field even for YT made especially amusing by the fact it makes no sense whatsoever, it's like a reply to a totally different comment.
@@jeffmcallister7040 I'm pretty sure that's an AI chatbot glitching. Or someone with a mental illness. But probably a chatbot. These are wierd times we live in, be wary.
@@Zepherian The AI chatbot seems about right. 👍 (Almost thought I was on Twitter, er X for a minute).
Only been watching yacht video for about 3 months now, but I keep coming back to this Explorer, it is my favorite. Love the blend of functionality with decor and hominess. Absolutely makes the most sense to me out of all the videos I've seen.
Nice one Jack, arguably one of the best reviews of a Yacht I have seen in a long time. Keep up the great work. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! - Jack
This boat definitely stands out. Well designed and laid out.
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.
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.
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it! - 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.
I absolutely love this boat. I think it may be perfect.
The adventures are endless with this beauty!!
An absolutely delightful tour Jack!
Cheers! - 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.
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.
I have seen a Dashew fitted out to a a similar standard .
They appropriated the concept and didn't say a word. Really dishonest people.
Agreed, however, the quality of much of the exposed welding is a far cry from what you would see on a Dashew. Dashew certainly has the qualities where they count. I am amazed given all the welding is exposed that they didn’t do a better job.
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!
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.
I looks like a straight copy to me
Loved this boat since I saw the first rendering and you’ve done it justice with a great tour.
Brilliant machine for exploring the world.
Thanks Nic, it's quite a machine isn't it! - Jack
@@Yachtbuyer, lovely if you are a millionaire with $$$$$to burn on fuel.
Can't wait for the sea trial, release it NOW!!!! LOL great video as usual.
For my taste that's one of the best I've every seen thanks for the tour...
Your tour was/is impeccable for someone looking to purchase: Description without the marketing… - A truly fine balance to achieve… Bravo
absolutely fabulous....terrific video, many thanks
This is a fabulous yacht ‼️ And a fabulous quick tour. 🎉
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!
wonderful tour, loved it
Great review of this amazing boat!
Perfect boat for anywhere in the world! Great job on the review
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.
Fabulous presentation Jack.
Glad you enjoyed it
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
Glad you liked the video - thanks!
amazing tour, that thing is verry impressiv
Nice one YB...Cool looking yacht and as always a good review and walkaround 🙂
Awesome ship and expertly presented!
Best boat ever on the channel in my opinion...
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.
If you need to ask you don’t need to know 😂
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!
Much appreciated! - Jack
Very nice Jack thank you for your excellent review
Another great tour Jack
Thanks Clive! - Jack
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
Great .... I want one !
Nice tour mate, well said and you showed us all the useful stuff and the good little features. No blah blah blah ... thanks
Great looking boat! I can see the designer is a fan of Steve Dashew's designs. All she needs are props from Sharrow Marine. ; )
Indeed!!!! Better economy,more miles!!!😊❤👍
Very well done, thank you. The yacht is very impressive.
Glad you enjoyed it! - Jack
Amazing. Boat! Love it and you present it very well
Many thanks!
What an impressive beast of a boat
Fantastic Yacht!!!
Brilliant first time I've watched a review of an explorer boat. I get it now. looking forward to the sea trials. Many thanks
Great to hear Richard, thanks! - Jack
Game changer of a boat!
What a beautiful and well engineered yacht.
I'm not a fan of cold weather, but an interesting boat for sure, and definitely the first time I've seen polar bears included in a boat review!
STEVE AND LINDA DASHEW INSPIRED - THANK YOU
Excellent presentation. This guy is a natural presenter.
That’s a great video Jack - and what a boat - personally I’d like it a bit more yacht like but get the industrial vibe - and I’m gob smacked by the engine efficiency…want want want!
Thank you! - J
A very professional and knowledgeable presentation 👍👍
This is a fantastic boat. Definitely the type of craft I would be interested in owning. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant video and presentation. First one I see of your videos, but not the last 👌🏻😃
Great to hear, Kenneth, thank you. - Jack
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.
Like it a lot. People keep stressing that the interior is "more like a house" That's supposed to be a selling point? I'd want the interior to look like a -boat- Yacht. If I wanted it to look like a house I'd just stay home.
Interesting to see if they can live up to standards of FPB. It will not be an easy task to not disappoint
That boat is amazing. Someone will have a great adventure in this.
gorgeous boat!
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.
Glad you liked it Sean, thanks - Jack
That looks like a fantastic yacht.
Amazing boat. It does look very well thought out.
You did an excellent tour
Awesome yacht. Thanks for another great tour
Our pleasure!
A really excellent presentation of an excellent boat, well done! My only regret was that the presentation could have gone on longer, but that was because I enjoyed the video so much. I would love to see you do a sea trial and indeed more. P
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate that - Jack
Phenomenal. I would happily disappear forever on a boat like this. I'll send you all a postcard from the other side of the world.
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).
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
The yacht is beautiful and different. The presentation is perfect. Thank you
Thank you very much! - Jack
Very cool boat. A dream! 🚢
Wow amazing boat , nice to see a world cruiser that's not a Nordhavn or Bering , may have some external finishes done , but overall its just about perfect, as always an excellent tour , look forward to the sea trial , please make it on a rough day 🫣
Cheers David, we'll do our best! - Jack
Brilliant stuff 😊
Thank you. ❤.
My pleasure! - Jack
Love the systems and back-up systems.-----Mikey, Belfair, Wa, USA
Well done mate, great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing - NEW SUB 🙏🏻
Thanks for the sub!
gorgeous boat
thanks for your video fantastic boat for long trips and to live on😊
I mean I like the look and the functionality of the boat, but, the main lounge looks like it's straight out of an Ikea catalog, the upper deck is better, it may be down to the colours picked out for it, looking at other Arksen 85's the colour choices do seem to suit it better, but that could well be personal choice.
What I do find slightly annoying about this type of review, 7000 nautical miles at 9 knots is 30 days at sea, why not show the food storage and refrigeration ? I know on our Fleming 65 we ended up taking out a guest bedroom and converting it to food refrigeration.
Please don't get me wrong, I do like the Arksen and growing up in Southampton and slowly watching boat makers go under it is great to see a builder doing well.
Great tour of a fascinating boat.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
excellent boat and tour
If you want an introduction to this kind of concept you need to look up the work of Steve and Linda Dashew. They basically invented this category with their FPB series.
Yes I know it well, I tested “Wind Horse” 15 years ago. Amazing boats - Jack
One of the best boats I’ve seen too date
amazing boat
Seriously impressive, I would have it painted though but love the purposeful design. ❤️🇬🇧
Double redundancies with manual back ups - true arctic voyager. Excellent diving set ups.
Absolute dreamboat!
Unlike a typical superyacht i would always respect someone who went this route and set off for adventure rather than just bobbing around the med like a tosser. This is a real ship, it would be an incredible life to take this on a world tour.
just wow. i enjoyed it more than i thought i would. thank you. I really want you guys to test one of the Category A arksen.
Great to hear, thanks for watching! - Jack
Very nice tour, Subscribed. Looking foreward to the sea trial
Great to hear, thank you! 🙏
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.
Ha! Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the tour - Jack
Wow fantastic boat reminds me of a Dashew FPB
Amazing boat.
Great job!
Thanks!
wow, fantastic boat
Two things I would think about changing. Either the location of the washing machine or maybe an additional smaller washer/dryer unit upstairs. And a desalination set up. Otherwise....perfection (for me).
Looks just like the Dashew FPB series. Love it.
A really great owner operated boat there. Awesome.
Lovely
Very profesional tour well done
Thank you 🙏 - Jack
