Viking 72C Rivals

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Viking Yachts 72C offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 9 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Viking Yachts 74C and Viking Yachts 72 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 11 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 72C benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a skylight and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Viking Yachts 68 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 7 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Viking Yachts 72C delivers a steady 36 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Viking Yachts 74C with an impressive cruising speed of 36 knots. The Viking Yachts 72C 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 Viking Yachts 80, with the slowest cruising speed of 38 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 shallow draft of the Hatteras GT70 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Viking Yachts 80 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 38 knots. Meanwhile, the Viking Yachts 74C offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 45 knots. The Viking Yachts 80 has an impressive gross tonnage of 66GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Viking 72C 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.
