Viking Yachts 75 Motor Yacht

Designed in collaboration with Michael Peters Yacht Design, the Viking 75 is the first new Viking motor yacht model since 2001. The sleek lines and teardrop salon windows share many styling features with the existing Viking fleet. With a beam of over 20 feet (widest in this class), the interior of the 75 is cavernous. Instead of placing the galley aft as it is on most current European yachts, the Viking’s aft salon layout offers guests direct access to the cockpit area and hydraulic swim platform. The main deck day head is a thoughtful touch, and the eye-catching staircase leading from the salon to the enclosed bridge is a work of art. Below decks are five en suite staterooms including a full-beam master amidships with settee and large hull windows. Three more staterooms are forward of the master and a fifth — aft of the engine room — can be used as crew quarters or a guest stateroom. Positioning the master bathroom forward the engine room offers an extra level of sound insulation for the master bedroom. The enclosed bridge serves as a second salon, and wide side decks make for convenient passage when moving forward to handle dock lines or anchoring. Cat 1,925hp C32 diesels cruise at 28–30 knots (low to mid 30s top).
