Meet Salty Viking - Our 36’ Aquila Sport Power Catamaran
The fastest, most comfortable way to explore the US and British Virgin Islands.
Built for the Virgin Islands Salty Viking is a 36-foot Aquila Sport power catamaran— an award-winning vessel widely regarded as the most technologically advanced production power cat in the world. Based in Cruz Bay, St. John, USVI, she brings a level of speed, stability, and comfort that sets her apart from traditional charter boats in the Virgin Islands.
Whether you’re island-hopping to the BVI, snorkeling remote offshore cays, or transferring between St. Thomas and St. John in style, Salty Viking delivers a ride that’s fast, smooth, and genuinely luxurious.
The Aquila Hydro Glide® Foil System — What Makes Her Different
Most boats push through the water. Salty Viking rises above it.
She’s equipped with the Aquila Hydro Glide® foil system— a fixed hydrofoil engineered by the same designers behind America’s Cup foiling technology. Powered by twin Mercury 350HP V8 outboards, the foil lifts 40% of the boat’s weight out of the water at speed, dramatically reducing drag. The result is up to 40% better fuel efficiency, a top speed of 44 mph, and a noticeably smoother, drier ride — cutting through chop rather than pounding through it.
For guests, that means less time getting there and more time enjoying the destination.
Comfort & Amenities
The nearly 15-foot beam gives Salty Viking a layout you simply can’t find on a monohull charter boat — spacious bow loungers that convert to sunbeds, wraparound shaded salon seating, and a full swim platform with an extra-long ladder and heated fresh water rinse.
Included on every charter:
• Full bar — top-shelf liquors, mixers, beer, seltzers, juice, and water
• High-quality masks, snorkels, and swim noodles
• Private onboard marine bathroom
• Heated fresh water rinse shower
• Bluetooth audio — bring your playlist
• Spacious seating and lounging for up to 12 guests
Stable Enough for Everyone
The catamaran hull means virtually no rocking or rolling at anchor. Guests who are typically prone to seasickness regularly rave about how different the experience is. It’s ideal for families, first-timers, and anyone who wants to enjoy the water without worrying about rough conditions.
