What ARKHAUS does

ARKHAUS is a Miami-based private company that operates a connected ecosystem of solar-electric floating social clubs, resorts, and privately owned villa yachts, targeting high-net-worth individuals, corporate clients, and commercial hospitality operators. Its flagship venue is a luxury floating social club and restaurant on Biscayne Bay, supported by an annual membership program priced up to $10,000 for individuals/couples and up to $20,000 for companies, which grants access to social clubs, villa yacht resorts, and member-rate stays across the network. The company also generates transactional revenue through private dining ($95–$115 per person plus menu, accommodating up to 26 guests) and private charters ($4,000 for four hours), and it sells and leases solar-electric villa yachts (Villa 50 pre-order open; Villa 75 coming soon) in residential and commercial configurations.

The underlying technology platform is a solar-electric propulsion system paired with proprietary deployable spud stabilization, which lifts vessels above the waterline in open water to eliminate rocking and remove the need for conventional anchoring. The 50-foot Villa 50 is designed by Pininfarina and built by Lyman-Morse, and the 75-foot Villa 75 is in development. In June 2025, ARKHAUS acquired Arkup, a solar-electric yacht builder, and reorganized under The Ark Companies umbrella to integrate manufacturing and pursue global floating-destination expansion. The company was founded in 2021 (per firmographics) by two New York-based entrepreneurs, has 1–10 employees, and has received three small funding rounds totaling roughly $2.97M (2022–2024) with no disclosed institutional investors. Go-to-market is event-driven and direct-to-consumer, anchored by press coverage in Forbes, NYT, and Robb Report and product launches at venues like the Miami International Boat Show 2026.

Core offering

ARKHAUS builds and sells solar-electric Villa Yachts (Villa 50 and Villa 75) for residential and commercial use, and operates a connected network of floating social clubs, resorts, and membership programs on the water. The company combines yacht manufacturing with on-water hospitality experiences, including private dining, charters, and overnight stays, all powered by zero-emission solar-electric propulsion with proprietary spud stabilization technology.

Product overview

ARKHAUS is a connected ecosystem of solar-electric floating social clubs, resorts, and privately owned Villa Yachts that transforms waterways into destinations. The portfolio centers on two vessel models: the Villa 50 (currently available for pre-order) and the Villa 75 (launching soon), both offering solar-electric propulsion with residential and commercial layouts. The ecosystem is supported by ARKHAUS Membership programs providing access to social clubs and resorts, and by the acquired solar-electric yacht builder Arkup (now part of The Ark Companies). Overnight experiences are delivered through ARKHAUS Resorts.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Hinckley Yachts: Long-established American luxury yacht builder with a history of electric and hybrid propulsion pilots (Dasher). Sits in the same ultra-luxury owner segment as ARKHAUS but at much greater scale and with conventional yacht product rather than stationary floating residences.
• SoHo House: Members-only social club operator with a global network of houses and a tiered annual membership model. Mirrors ARKHAUS's All-Access and Resort membership tiers, recurring subscription revenue model, and emphasis on exclusive gathering venues for creative/affluent audiences.
• Aman Resorts: Ultra-luxury hotel brand with a small number of high-touch resorts in destination markets. Comparable to ARKHAUS on the membership/resort hospitality layer, target HNW clientele, and exclusivity-driven positioning, even though Aman is land-based.
• Four Seasons Yachts: Operator of ultra-luxury yacht-based hospitality with all-suite itineraries. Competes with ARKHAUS for the same high-net-worth guest wallet in the on-water luxury hospitality category, though it does so via chartered cruise itineraries rather than owned villa yachts.

Direct peers

• Silent-Yachts: Silent-Yachts builds solar-powered catamaran yachts and has pioneered serial production of ocean-going solar-electric vessels. It is the most direct competitor to ARKHAUS's Villa 50/Villa 75 solar-electric drivetrain positioning, though focused on cruising yachts rather than stationary floating residences.
• Wider Yachts: Italian builder of hybrid and electric motor yachts with semi-displacement hulls and luxury living accommodations. Comparable to ARKHAUS in targeting owners who want low-emission cruising combined with residential-grade interiors.
• Arkup: Solar-electric yacht builder acquired by ARKHAUS in June 2025 and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Pre-acquisition it was the closest direct competitor on self-lifting, zero-emission floating vessels; it now represents ARKHAUS's own manufacturing capability.
• Lyman-Morse: Custom boatbuilder and shipyard constructing the ARKHAUS Villa 50. While a partner today, Lyman-Morse also builds high-end motor yachts and could become a competing platform builder if ARKHAUS relationships change.
• Sunreef Yachts: Sunreef Yachts manufactures luxury solar-equipped catamarans including the Sunreef Eco line with integrated solar skin. Overlaps with ARKHAUS on solar-electric propulsion and luxury owner-occupied marine living, serving a comparable ultra-high-net-worth buyer.

Emerging players

• Glamping Hub: Online marketplace and operator focused on unique, high-end outdoor accommodations (yurts, houseboats, floating cabins). Comparable on the floating/unique stay booking layer of ARKHAUS Resorts, though at a more accessible price point and without yacht ownership.
