Yacht Description
Explorer scale, compact. VIVIERAE II is a 98ft Nordhavn built in 2017 and refit in 2023, set up for long days underway with stabilizers and proper outdoor living on deck. Sleeps 8 guests.
Sun deck wins. A deck jacuzzi and sun pads make the top deck the default hangout. Quick reset between swims. Then back in.
Serious water access. The swim platform keeps entries and exits simple, and you have a big 2023 38ft Metal Shark tender with triple 300hp outboards plus 17ft and 19ft RIBs for beach runs and tow sports logistics without the usual faff.
Toys for adults. Two electric Fliteboards, towable tube, adult waterskis, paddleboards, kayaks, surf board and floating mats cover the surface program, while scuba diving equipment and a dive compressor support certified diving. Big game fishing gear is onboard when sitting still is not the plan.
Connected, not unplugged. Starlink satellite internet and Wi‑Fi keep work and streaming doable, with TVs in all cabins for the quieter hours and air conditioning when you want the doors shut.
