2006 Viknes 880, DKK 745,000

The Norwegian quality boatbuilder Viknes was founded in 1988 by Jan Inge Sivertsen and has since built an excellent reputation for constructing sturdy, seaworthy, and functional motorboats, designed for the sometimes demanding conditions along the Norwegian coast. The boats are produced on Askøy, just outside Bergen, where traditional boatbuilding craftsmanship is combined with well-thought-out solutions, a high level of comfort, and a strong focus on safety and user-friendliness.

The Viknes 880 was introduced in 2000 and quickly became one of the shipyard’s most successful models. With its distinctive Nordic design, semi-planing hull, and spacious interior, this model is a versatile motorboat that is particularly well-suited for weekend trips, longer vacation cruises, and fishing trips. The bright salon with excellent visibility, the practical galley, comfortable sleeping accommodations, and the large aft deck combine to create a boat where both comfort and functionality are top priorities. The traditional shaft installation is also a simple and robust solution that many experienced sailors greatly appreciate.

This 2006 model is in excellent, well-maintained condition and is exceptionally well-equipped. The boat is equipped with a reliable 200 HK Yanmar diesel engine with a fixed propeller shaft, which has logged only 784 hours. The engine has been regularly serviced during the current owner’s ownership.

Over the years, a number of upgrades have been made, making the boat exceptionally modern and comfortable. The navigation equipment includes newer Raymarine chartplotters with fishfinder, radar, and a remote-controlled autopilot, providing excellent capabilities for both navigation and longer voyages. In addition, the boat is equipped with automatic trim, which contributes to a balanced sail.

During harbor maneuvers, the combination of bow and stern thrusters, along with the ability to steer from the stern, makes handling easy and manageable, even when space is limited. The boat also features a newer electric windlass and bow thruster, which make both anchoring and boarding more convenient.

Onboard comfort is equally a priority, with amenities including hot pressurized water and shower facilities in both the restroom and on the swim platform. A Fusion sound system provides entertainment, while the newer canopy offers great opportunities to enjoy the aft deck in the changeable Nordic weather.
