The Polish shipyard presents its new flagship and surprises once again with an extremely low, unrivalled base price

53,900 euros including VAT for a 35-foot yacht - with basic equipment that also includes the engine. That can already be categorised as extreme. Boats from the competing large series are usually only available for around twice as much. The basic equipment has not yet been finalised, but even if the basic version of the boat only comes with a tiller, no sails and is completely bare, it will still be very affordable after adding these items.

The design comes from the Italian Sergio Lupoli and has the look of a modern performance cruiser with a flat superstructure, concave freeboard aft, large beam, open stern and double steering wheels. Various options are available for the Viko S 35, allowing the owner to shift the focus between comfortable cruising and regatta suitability as desired. The boat is rarely available in this size with one or two cabins in the stern.
