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 72 and Viking Yachts 80 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.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. 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 Hatteras GT70 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 42 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.
