Viknes
Viknes is a Norwegian motorboat builder based on the island of Askøy, near Bergen, producing robust GRP motor yachts and cruisers designed for the demanding conditions of the North Sea and Scandinavian coastal waters.
The current lineup spans 8 to 12 metres (26 to 40ft) and covers two distinct lines. The Viknes line comprises pilothouse-style cruisers including the 930, 1030 Panorama, 1030 Sunbridge, 1080 Panorama, 1080 Sunbridge, and the newer 8 and 10 models. The S-series, incorporating the former Skilsø brand acquired in 2011, adds the flybridge and hardtop-equipped S35 and S40 variants. Buyers searching for Viknes yachts for sale will also find earlier models such as the 770, 830, and 900, which remain popular on the used market.
Founded in 1988 by Jan Inge Sivertsen, Viknes has grown into a family-run business now led by the second generation. The yard builds around 80 boats per year entirely in-house, with a team of more than 60 craftsmen, engineers, and technicians handling everything from lamination to final fit-out. The brand positions itself firmly on practicality and build integrity, with a "Made in Norway" ethos central to its identity.
New and used Viknes motor yachts appeal to buyers who prioritise versatility and all-weather capability over pure style, drawing a loyal following across Scandinavia and growing interest in the UK and broader European markets.
