Viking 68C Rivals

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Viking Yachts 68C offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 9 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Hatteras GT70 and Hatteras GT65 Carolina, share the same 9 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 68C benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Viking Yachts 68 and Viking Yachts 68C, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 7 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Viking Yachts 68C delivers a steady 35 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Hatteras GT70 with an impressive cruising speed of 34 knots or the Hatteras GT65 Carolina with a respectable cruising speed of 36 knots. The Viking Yachts 68C emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Hatteras GT65 Carolina, with the slowest cruising speed of 36 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Hatteras GT70 impresses with its extensive range of 1,525 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Hatteras GT70 and Hatteras GT65 Carolina all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Hatteras GT65 Carolina focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 36 knots. Meanwhile, the Hatteras GT70 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 42 knots.
