About Viking Yacht Charters

Viking Yacht Charters is a family business that has been running private cruises in Adelaide since 2003. Kevin and Annie started it, their son Nick has since joined, and there are two skippers on the team. Every trip is exclusive, so no tickets are sold to strangers and your group has the whole boat. The boat is Summer Breeze, a wide sailing catamaran built for charter work. Two hulls keep her flat and steady, so drinks stay put and walking around is easy. The saloon and cockpit join into one covered entertaining space with wraparound windows, a table that seats 12, more seating at the back, a small spot to dance and trampolines on the foredeck for lying in the sun. Her berth is inside the Royal SA Yacht Squadron club in Outer Harbor rather than at a public wharf, with free secure parking and a deck at the club for gathering before or after. Most groups cruise the sheltered Port River with up to 20 guests, and smaller groups of up to 12 can head along the northern beaches when the weather allows. Hens and bucks groups, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, Christmas parties and corporate team days all feature among its bookings. You can order platters and a drinks package, buy drinks as you go, or bring your own for modest fees, and a Bluetooth stereo lets you choose the music.

Food

Freshly prepared platters can be ordered through Viking Yacht Charters for any occasion. Groups can also bring their own food for a $40 clean-up fee, with light snacks free of charge, and the crew suggest easy finger food for the boat. Up to 12 guests can sit down at the cockpit table for a dinner cruise.

Beverages

The catamaran is fully licensed. Choose a drinks package, pre-order from the list and pay by consumption, or bring your own for a $12 per head fee charged only to alcohol drinkers. A 120-litre icebox sits in the cockpit, plus a 65-litre one on the foredeck for larger groups.

Wharfs & Availability

Guests board Summer Breeze at her private marina berth in the yacht squadron club, Outer Harbor, with free parking on site. Cruises take in the sheltered Port River, part of the dolphin sanctuary, or the northern beaches coastline for smaller groups. Charters run from 1.5 to three hours, timed to suit you.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can Viking Yacht Charters take?

Summer Breeze is licensed for up to 20 guests plus crew on the calm waters of the Port River, or up to 12 guests plus crew when cruising along the northern beaches coastline.

Is BYO allowed on Summer Breeze?

Yes. BYO alcohol carries a $12 per head fee for drinkers only, and BYO food carries a $40 clean-up fee, with light snacks like chips exempt. Simple finger food suits the boat's space.

Where does Summer Breeze depart from?

The catamaran is moored inside the Royal SA Yacht Squadron club in Outer Harbor, beside the cruise ship terminal. Parking there is free and secure, and guests can gather on the club deck first.

What happens if the weather turns bad?

Cancellations are rare because the Port River is sheltered and the saloon is fully covered. If conditions are extreme, the crew will move your cruise to another date or refund you in full.

How is a charter booked and what is the cancellation policy?

A $200 deposit secures the date. Cancelling more than 30 days out refunds the deposit less $100, between 30 and 7 days the deposit is kept, and inside 7 days all payments are forfeited.
