Sail along Naples’ coast aboard the 2021 Viking 82′, a purpose-built motor yacht that pairs the stability and volume of an 82-foot platform with the speed and agility to reach nearby islands and long-range destinations. On deck, expansive social areas and multiple bridge configurations frame Gulf light and horizon; below, wood joinery and full galley facilities make the boat as comfortable for entertaining as it is for overnight escapes.

What the day feels like

What the Charter Feels Like

Boarding the Viking 82′ feels like stepping into a private coastal retreat: an expansive cockpit invites low-key lounging and socializing, the salon and galley support on-board dining, and the bridge—open or climate-controlled—puts the coastline and wide Gulf vistas at center stage. Day charters move from beachside swims and island landings to sunset cocktails at anchor; longer charters extend that rhythm into overnight comfort and long-distance passages.
