Viko S 35 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Viko S 35 means considering a Polish-built, Italian-designed Sport Line cruiser launched from 2019 onward, with most used examples carrying the owner three-cabin layout though the two-cabin version is also seen, and ex-charter boats are common.
Layouts on the Used Market
The dominant used configuration is the owner three-cabin interior sleeping six, but two-cabin boats exist with a large aft berth tucked under the cockpit sole and reaching into unused starboard space. Either way the saloon has straight parallel berths 1.88 metres long, and the aft cabins carry 1.85-metre bunks. The forecabin is basic with a low-set V-berth. Below decks Viko avoided interior mouldings apart from headlining and heads, so stowage is good and the outer hull is reachable; the solid moulded headlining, however, gives no deckhead access except one panel at the compression post. Cockpit stowage is limited on twin-aft-cabin boats.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used S 35s commonly carry heating, inverter, AIS, autopilot and chartplotter as fitted gear, with canvas such as bimini, dodger and cockpit shower, plus teak decks and a swim platform. For sail handling, furling main, asymmetric spinnaker and gennaker are commonly fitted. The most consequential buyer items are power and energy: heating and inverter draw on the modest standard 60 amp-hour battery and 140-litre water / 60-litre fuel bags, so check the charging side. Navigation and self-steering (AIS, autopilot, chartplotter) are common and worth verifying at sea. Canvas and sail packages (bimini, dodger, furling main, asymmetric) speak to how the boat was cruised rather than her core condition.
What to Inspect
Period tests flagged repeatable shortcomings worth checking on any candidate. Testers on the Yacht test boat noted the standard 4:1 mainsheet is too weak to tension the main when wind rises, so confirm whether a stronger tackle was fitted anchor. Look for rust at stanchion bases, a mast gate that will not stay put, stiff rudder bearings, and under-tensioned rigging with a slack leeward lower shroud, all noted by Yachting Monthly's testers anchor. Below, inspect the smooth wet companionway steps, absence of door catches, missing galley crash bar, and total lack of engine insulation. Also check the coachroof for sizeable smooth areas where non-slip was omitted.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats are typically found in Germany, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. For a used S 35, verify the rig tension and mainsheet upgrade, confirm stanchion bases are rust-free, test the rudder bearings and mast gate, and budget for better engine insulation and door catches.
- Confirm stronger mainsheet tackle fitted
- Check stanchion bases and rigging tension
- Test rudder bearings and mast gate function
- Expect to add engine insulation and door catches
