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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
I absolutely love this boat. I think it may be perfect.
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.
An absolutely delightful tour Jack!
Cheers! - Jack
Thank you, love the thought put into the Arksen. Rugged utilitarian on the outside, and cozy on the inside. Like a Dashew Offshore FPB
The adventures are endless with this beauty!!
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.
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
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
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for this for a looong time!
For my taste that's one of the best I've every seen thanks for the tour...
This is a fabulous yacht ‼️ And a fabulous quick tour. 🎉
A very professional and knowledgeable presentation 👍👍
Can't wait for the sea trial, release it NOW!!!! LOL great video as usual.
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.
wonderful tour, loved it
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
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.
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!
Great review of this amazing boat!
Awesome ship and expertly presented!
Fabulous presentation Jack.
Glad you enjoyed it
amazing tour, that thing is verry impressiv
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.
Very nice Jack thank you for your excellent review
Well done! Excellent informed review. Great energy and knowledge!
Much appreciated! - Jack
Excellent presentation. This guy is a natural presenter.
Nice one YB...Cool looking yacht and as always a good review and walkaround 🙂
Very well done, thank you. The yacht is very impressive.
Glad you enjoyed it! - Jack
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!!!😊❤👍
STEVE AND LINDA DASHEW INSPIRED - THANK YOU
Another great tour Jack
Thanks Clive! - Jack
What a beautiful and well engineered yacht.
What an impressive beast of a boat
Game changer of a boat!
Best boat ever on the channel in my opinion...
Amazing. Boat! Love it and you present it very well
Many thanks!
Well done mate, great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing - NEW SUB 🙏🏻
Thanks for the sub!
Brilliant video and presentation. First one I see of your videos, but not the last 👌🏻😃
Great to hear, Kenneth, thank you. - Jack
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 boat. It does look very well thought out.
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!
excellent boat and tour
You did an excellent tour
Fantastic Yacht!!!
That boat is amazing. Someone will have a great adventure in this.
That looks like a 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
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
This is a fantastic boat. Definitely the type of craft I would be interested in owning. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Very cool boat. A dream! 🚢
thanks for your video fantastic boat for long trips and to live on😊
Awesome yacht. Thanks for another great tour
Our pleasure!
Love the systems and back-up systems.-----Mikey, Belfair, Wa, USA
One of the best boats I’ve seen too date
gorgeous boat
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 😂
Wow fantastic boat reminds me of a Dashew FPB
Interesting to see if they can live up to standards of FPB. It will not be an easy task to not disappoint
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
Brilliant stuff 😊
Great tour of a fascinating boat.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
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
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
Seriously impressive, I would have it painted though but love the purposeful design. ❤️🇬🇧
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.
Amazing boat.
Great video
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
Thank you. ❤.
My pleasure! - Jack
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!
Great walkthrough and tour of the boat! And that gally on that boat is awesome! I'd have to run CAT's or MTU's in that boat though.
The yacht is beautiful and different. The presentation is perfect. Thank you
Thank you very much! - Jack
amazing boat
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
A really great owner operated boat there. Awesome.
Looks just like the Dashew FPB series. Love it.
Interesting and informative 🇯🇲
Great job!
Thanks!
Great review! Good focus on technical aspects of the boat which is what I want to see on an expedition yacht. Obviously this is a teaser overview where viewing every locker is best left to an on board showing. Captain Daniel G. George
wow, fantastic boat
Very profesional tour well done
Thank you 🙏 - Jack
Absolute dreamboat!
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.
Very nice tour, Subscribed. Looking foreward to the sea trial
Great to hear, thank you! 🙏
Interesting tour. Thanks. If you add some finishing, add teak deck or articiteak this boat would be still for rough weather but more beautiful and stylish.
What a boat ! It would be great to be able to interview the owner and find out about all their voyage plans.
Lovely
Battery room, very smart, would be interested to know more about active VENTING / PASSIVE in it, to prevent explosions when battery is runaway…
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
You sold me on this boat!
