Our
Story
In 2024, the OA team bumped into the Arksen team at the Southhampton Boat Show. It was immediately clear that there was a synergy between the two companies. From the desire to facilitate incredible adventures for our clients, to our "only the best will do approach". Since that day we have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to create a special partnership... and now. Its here. We are delighted to be collaborating with Arksen to design a truly remarkable boat as well as curate and deliver some of the most incredible and amazing adventures right here in the UK. Making use of our new custom Discovery 8 along with our industry connections, we will be creating truly epic experiences that you will only be able to find right here, with us.
The
Boat
Arksen Discovery 8
The Ultimate Grand Tourer for Next-Generation Adventurers
“From the moment you’re onboard, you know you’re on something special”
A platform for adventure
A uniquely different type of RIB, the Arksen 8 has a wide beam and deep hull design to create class-leading interior space, with every element designed for ease of use and cleaning so there is more time to spend exploring on the water.
An innovative square bow, d-tube, wide beam and versatile foldable seating enables deck space to be optimised for comfortable socialising, kit storage or deck space, while an exaggerated blow flare keeps occupants dry from spray in inclement weather.
For those already familiar with One Atlantek , It will come as no surprise that we have ticked a lot of the optional extra boxes for this custom built adventure boat. Now into our 5th year of operations, we are perfectly positioned to spec out a boat that not only takes you on adventures, it becomes part of the adventure. Coded to MCA Cat 3R and with a light workboat certificate, we can't just show you amazing things at sea, you can get involved in conservation efforts and strengthen your connection to the marine environment.
The integrated T-top provides shade in the sun, while the sociable onboard set-up is perfect for entertaining, with a high-end Garmin Fusion entertainment system, colour selectable LED lighting, a full size heads unit and a convenient wet bar and prep area with built in cooler box. We have also added twin Yamaha 200 engines, a roof rack, radar, enhanced lighting, beach boarding ladders.. in fact the extras list just goes on and on.
Engineered to meet commercial boat specifications, the Arksen 8 inspires confidence to push the boundaries of discovery
Its multi-chine hull design allows for optimal performance across the speed range, while the wide beam and large internal volume permits higher payloads to be carried. The deep-V hull form creates a soft ride and sure-footed handling, even in challenging ocean swells and coastal choppy waters.
In short. This isn't a boat. This is the boat.
