Overview
VALKYRIE yacht charter in Mediterranean
A VALKYRIE charter is strongest when the yacht choice is tied to the route. For larger private groups, celebrations, and corporate hosting, the useful question is how a flagship charter mood built around privacy, hosting, and status fits Capri approaches, Positano photo runs, and Sorrento or Naples boarding logistics and whether the yacht is not forced into a rushed sightseeing loop.

How to use VALKYRIE

When this yacht makes sense
VALKYRIE suits larger private groups, celebrations, and corporate hosting when the brief is a high-service event charter. 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 the yacht is not forced into a rushed sightseeing loop.
Season and booking notes
Season matters because berth pressure, weather windows, and guest expectations change the charter. May to September, when Capri timing, tender access, and lunch reservations need clean planning. A useful shortlist should also explain why compare by guest flow, deck use, and cabin layout before price alone.
Life on board
a flagship charter mood built around privacy, hosting, and status. The toy and tender setup gives the broker more room to shape swim stops and guest flow. 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 Capri, Li Galli, and Nerano 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.

Comparison
VALKYRIE vs newer 60m+ superyachts
Newer yachts in the same class may offer fresher interiors, newer beach clubs or updated wellness layouts. VALKYRIE should be compared on guest fit, refit status, deck flow, crew programme, toys, range, availability and the route you actually want to run.
The strongest shortlist is not the newest yacht by default. It is the yacht whose layout, service style and operating assumptions match the client, the port and the itinerary.

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.
