Arksen has signed a five-year partnership deal with Yamaha Motor Europe.
The partnership initially applies to the Arksen 8 which will be offered as standard with a single Yamaha 300hp V6 outboard with options to upgrade up to a maximum of 500hp with twin 250hp V6 outboards.
The partnership will be expanded over time to a wider range of 20-55ft Arksen models within the Arksen Discovery and Adventure Series.
“We believe in using only the very best components and materials throughout our product ranges to create an exceptional experience and performance for our customers on the water,” said Nick Bailey, Arksen Discovery and Adventure Series business development manager.
“Partnering with Yamaha enables us to offer some of the most capable and advanced boats on the market today, enabling Arksen owners to explore some of the most wild and remote destinations on earth, helping inspire a love and appreciation for the natural world and the desire to protect it.”
Fabrice Lacoume, marine director at Yamaha Motor Europe added: “Arksen’s philosophy of adventure without compromise, paired with its keen focus on sustainability made the brand an ideal partner for Yamaha.
“We look forward to growing our sustainable capabilities and increasing choice for our customers.”
The Arksen Discovery Series boats range from six to 12 metres and are designed with adventure in mind.
The Arksen 8 is the latest addition to the series which was launched at the end of 2024.
The craft is suitable for cross-channel and inter-island voyages. The 8m RIB is the first of Arksen’s Discovery Series.
