Viking 75MY (2013 - 2022) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 75 delivers speeds of up to 35 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Viking Yachts 75 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Sunseeker Ocean 156 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 75 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo SL78 and Azimut 76 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Viking Yachts 75 holds its own at a respectable 30 knots and a maximum speed of 35 knots. However, the Princess Y78 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 34 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck, with the slowest cruising speed of 7 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 Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck impresses with its extensive range of 2,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 77 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess Y78 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 34 knots. The Sunseeker Ocean 156 has an impressive gross tonnage of 156GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Viking 75MY stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
