The highly anticipated Arksen 8 is set for global launch at Southampton Boat
Show alongside new, technical apparel

Arksen announces the global debut of the Arksen 8 at the Southampton
International Boat Show, the largest boating event in the UK. Visitors can
witness the first model in the Discovery Series, designed to cater to the
needs of modern, adventure-seeking families with a premium open RIB
experience.

Crafted with precision and passion by a dedicated team of experts using
premium materials and components, the Arksen 8 offers superior functionality,
enhanced specifications, and a thoughtful use of space, combined with
luxurious refinement - a haven of comfort and relaxation for all on board.

The Arksen 8 is engineered for versatility, offering the capability to handle
cross-channel and inter-island voyages with ease. With its extended range,
enhanced power, and spacious interior, the vessel is built to accommodate two
families along with their essential supplies for the day.

Measuring eight metres in length with a 2.9-metre beam, the Arksen 8 features
a thoughtfully designed deck that provides ample space for easy movement,
storage of equipment such as scuba gear and fishing rods, and the ability to
comfortably host up to 12 passengers.

This innovative adventure boat is equipped with an advanced hydrodynamic hull
design that delivers a dynamic and stable driving experience. The 24°
deadrise deep V hull form, complete with detailed spray rails and an optimised
forefoot, is engineered to tackle challenging ocean swells and choppy coastal
waters with confidence.

For thrill-seekers, the Arksen 8 showcases state-of-the-art hydrodynamic
design principles, and a harmonious blend of confidence-inspiring offshore
performance and unwavering stability at rest, ensuring a secure and
comfortable experience for all on board. Rated for up to 500hp, the vessel
provides options for either single or twin outboard engine installations,
while its built-in 495-litre fuel tank delivers ample capacity for extended
cruising and adventurous voyages. Arksen's latest vessel sets new benchmarks
for boating experiences and redefines the Grand Tourer RIB concept.

For those who prefer leisurely cruising, the craft offers sociable seating in
the bow for up to five passengers, complemented by a stylish wet bar and BBQ
unit mid-ship, along with fold-up reverse-facing bench seats leading to the
aft dining area. The cabin is meticulously crafted, featuring a well-appointed
dashboard, luxurious suspension pilot seats, and an innovative layout with
options for a hardtop and an electrically opening roof to ensure comfort in
all weather conditions. Additionally, the vessel includes a spacious internal
heads compartment that offers a private changing area, luxury amenities, and
storage space.

 

Alongside the Arken 8, the Foul Weather Jacket will also be on display. New
for Autumn/Winter 2024, the jacket utilises their first-hand knowledge of
maritime exploration. Reinforced with Cordura elbow and seat panels for
extreme durability in challenging environments and boasting a 3-layer nylon
outer layer, the design is highly robust and fully waterproof.

 

Jasper Smith, founder and CEO of Arksen commented: "We're extremely excited to
showcase the Arksen 8, the first model in our Discovery Series, which is made
for marine adventures at Southampton International Boat Show. As a proud
British boatbuilder, there's no better place for us to introduce our latest
innovations than at the UK's largest on-the-water exhibition. We look forward
to welcoming visitors to our stand and igniting a new passion for adventure."

Visit Arksen at this year's Southampton International Boat Show on stand F064
in Mayflower Park. Join Arksen for the official launch event at 2.30pm on
Friday 13th September.
