Tykun XII in Monaco: First-hand review

- Arksen positions itself between a dayboat and an expedition yacht and sees itself as a brand dedicated to adventure and nature conservation with a wide range of products.
- At its heart is the ‘10 % for the Ocean’ foundation; yet only 0.3 per cent of global donations go towards marine conservation, even though the oceans cover 77 per cent of the Earth’s surface.
- The new aluminium Adventure series (35, 45, 55) offers long ranges, robust construction and a Raptor coating, and is built at commercial shipyards.

Jasper Smith: “Arksen is building in Finland”
