Overview

VALKYRIE yacht charter in Mediterranean

A VALKYRIE charter is strongest when the yacht choice is tied to the route. For clients who need space, service, and a polished guest flow, the useful question is how full-scale superyacht presence with formal service and serious deck space fits beach-club timing, Formentera crossings, and the choice between a social Ibiza day and a quieter island route and whether boarding, service, and guest movement are planned before the day starts.

How to use VALKYRIE

VALKYRIE is best considered for clients who need space, service, and a polished guest flow, with full-scale superyacht presence with formal service and serious deck space. The useful planning angle is a larger group day where deck flow matters, not a generic yacht-listing comparison.

Shortlist logic

Why this yacht belongs in the conversation

VALKYRIE should make the shortlist when the brief needs a larger group day where deck flow matters around Mediterranean and Ibiza. The decision should weigh 78'8 / 23.98m, 8 guests, 4 cabins, 2007 | 2024 (Refitted) against route timing and guest flow.

Port logic

Watch-out
the shortlist should include one realistic alternative in case dates, berth access, or owner approval change

When this yacht makes sense

VALKYRIE suits clients who need space, service, and a polished guest flow when the brief is a larger group day where deck flow matters. The 8 guests profile gives enough structure to plan the guest list early. 4 cabins also makes overnight suitability easier to judge.

Where to use it

Mediterranean can work well for VALKYRIE, but the route needs discipline. The best plan keeps the day focused instead of trying to collect too many stops, especially when boarding, service, and guest movement are planned before the day starts.

Season and booking notes

Season matters because berth pressure, weather windows, and guest expectations change the charter. May to October, with July and August best handled through early routing and clear guest plans. A useful shortlist should also explain why ask whether a smaller or larger yacht would make the same route feel easier.

Life on board

full-scale superyacht presence with formal service and serious deck space. For active guests, the onboard recreation list is worth checking before the final route is set. This is where a broker note is more useful than a raw specification list.

Compare before booking

Do not compare VALKYRIE on price alone. The stronger comparison is whether another yacht makes Mallorca, Cabrera, and Port Andratx easier, gives the group a better deck rhythm, or solves a port constraint more cleanly.

What to verify

A good recommendation for VALKYRIE should include one reason to choose it and one condition to verify. That keeps the page useful for real charter planning instead of becoming another listing entry.

Overview

The 23.9m/78'5" 'Valkyrie' sail yacht built by the Finnish shipyard Nautor Swan is available for charter for up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This yacht features interior styling by Tripp Design. Experience the rush of the wind through your hair onboard sailing yacht Valkyrie, primed for harnessing the power of nature, as well as entertaining and relaxing once her sails are stowed away.

Exterior Design

Designed to feel at home racing in the North Atlantic or cruising the Med, this modern design furthers Tripp Design's evolution of increasingly high performance sailing yachts for cruising and racing. The lifting keel system affords the boat superb sailing qualities as the deep ballast package allows lightweight with high stability. The foil shape, unlike the typical cruiser racer, is deep and sleek - not compromised by draft restrictions - while still allowing access to harbors and shallow anchorages. The deck plan is of a low house, with a flush foredeck, and flush hatches. Amidships is a guest cockpit with flush dodgers, and a sailing cockpit aft. The yacht has a fully fitted out interior with four guest cabins, three with en-suite heads, a spacious salon and a well appointed galley; the crew area for two is practical, roomy and private. The hull form is a low displacement/length hull with a plumb bow and narrow waterlines, powered by a modern sail plan encompassing the latest improvements in sail handling such as retractable bowsprit, furling headsails, asymmetric spinnakers as well as Code Zeros. The hull construction uses advanced composites with prepreg carbon and Corecell core. The slim keel box is integrated into the interior design from the outset, forming the bulkhead of a major cabin, while tying the deck, hull, and mast step together as the main structural element.

Performance Range

Valkyrie is built with a carbon fibre hull and carbon fibre superstructure. Powered by 1 x Yanmar engines, she comfortably cruises at 9 knots, reaches a maximum speed of 12 knots with a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles from her 1,500 litre fuel tanks.

Guest Accommodation

Built in 2007, Valkyrie offers guest accommodation for up to 8 guests in 4 suites comprising a master suite, one double cabin and two twin cabins. She is also capable of carrying up to 2 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht charter experience.

Onboard Comfort Entertainment

Valkyrie benefits from some excellent features to improve your charter including air conditioning to keep your comfortable throughout your charter.
