Arksen 30-01
The Arksen 30 (hull #1) is the inaugural prototype of the Arksen 30 range, created for the Southampton International Boat Show 2022 and later used as a demonstrator. It showcases compact, safe adventure cruising with sleeping space for up to four people. Powered by a 350hp Suzuki outboard and an efficient hull, it delivers more than 200 miles of range while blending performance, practicality and modern styling.
Its exterior feels strong and secure, built for long days on the water. The aluminium hull and wrap-around sponsons enhance stability and protection, while eco-friendly 6mm decking provides confident footing throughout. The aft deck includes folding side seats, a wide storage bench and a swim platform with a boarding ladder. High guardrails, side fenders, an LED forward lightbar and a panoramic roof hatch increase comfort and safety offshore. A large roof rack carries paddleboards, bikes or extra gear without limiting interior space.
Inside, the layout is simple, functional and inviting. The forward seating converts into a comfortable berth with quality cushions and a fitted mattress. The saloon features a folding dining table, LED lighting, multiple USB charging points and Arksen’s heated suspension helm seats. A compact pantry module offers a single gas hob, a sink and a 40–50L Dometic fridge. The electric toilet with a 20L holding tank and the 45L pressurised freshwater system support relaxed weekends away.
The Arksen 30-01 stands out as a capable, well-equipped adventure vessel. Its Raymarine navigation suite, bow thruster and fast cruising performance create easy handling in varied conditions. As the first prototype, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire a unique, thoughtfully specified Arksen model, ready for coastal cruising, weekend exploration and confident offshore use.
