Viva II Superyacht

The roll a guest would otherwise feel is what the stabilisers on Viva II are fitted to take away, and they keep working in both of the conditions that count, at zero speed when she is stopped and under way when she is covering ground. She is an Azimut from the Grande series, an 86ft (26m) superyacht delivered in June 2025 and built around pod propulsion.

Where she cruises

Split, in Croatia, is the home port she returns to, and from there she works the coasts of Croatia and Montenegro, so a guest has two countries to choose between.

Accommodation and crew

Five cabins sleep ten guests overnight, and by day she carries twelve. The owner's suite is on the main deck, and the other four cabins are two VIP cabins, a twin and a convertible, with a crew of four looking after the party.

Comfort under way

Her pod drives give Viva II a cruising speed of 24 knots and a top speed of 28, which means a long leg along the coast is covered quickly, and full-height windows keep the sea in sight from inside while she is doing it.

On deck

The transom opens out and turns the cockpit into a terrace, so there is more open deck at her stern than the cockpit by itself would give, and a swim platform puts a direct step into the sea. The flybridge adds a second deck in the open air.

Water toys

Seven toys travel with her, and a 12ft Williams Jet Tender runs guests ashore. The jet ski carries a single rider at a time, the Seabob and the SUP board give two further ways of being in or on the water, water skis and a towable donut are there for being pulled along, and snorkelling sets are for looking at what lies under the surface.

Charter notes

Viva II suits two couples or a family of up to ten, taken for a full week or a three-day hire, and the two months she counts as her peak are July and August. Three of her four crew came across from her owner's previous charter yacht, so the team looking after the guests had already worked together before they joined her.
