Viking Yachts
Built like a Tank, Yet Fit for Royalty

Other than a few major components, such as engines and appliances, virtually every part of a Viking Yacht is designed and manufactured on their premises. By manufacturing most of the yachts components in house, Viking has an inherent quality control advantage. Each yacht is thoroughly inspected by factory trained personnel during the construction process. This attention to detail ensures greater yacht reliability, safety, and longevity.

New models are the pulse of this dynamic company. In fact, more than 50 percent of the Viking Yacht product line is less than three years old with new models arriving yearly. Viking stays in front by incorporating the best in design and performance. And this year is no exception ...

About Viking Yachts

The Viking Yacht Company fronts the Bass River, a winding, marsh-lined brackish tributary, which feeds into the serpentine-like Mullica River that flows into Great Bay. Just 50 minutes by boat to Atlantic City, the wilderness of the Bass River is stark contrast to the leading edge technology, which precedes every Viking leaving the New Gretna facility.

Building a better boat everyday has been Viking’s philosophy for over 40 years, and this is why Viking leads the industry today in performance, innovation, engineering, and luxury. Viking’s commitment to excellence goes far beyond building boats, and that is reflected in the “Viking Difference”.

From what we can see, the new Viking 74 Convertible Sportfisherman is destined to become the most incredible and talked about boat in Viking's 40-year history.

The remarkable Viking 74 Convertible takes luxurious yachting and big-game fishing to a new level. And, it gives a new definition to the term Convertible. It should be well suited to meet your demands for comfort, luxury and exceptional range to safely travel to remote locations.

The 74 Convertible’s eye pleasing sheer is obvious. Although the 74 Convertible is notably wider and has a significantly larger deckhouse than the 65 Convertible, it is only 14” higher, which gives the boat its dramatic and aggressive stature. This additional height, however, is not for appearance alone. It also allows the salon and galley to be on one level, which significantly opens up the entire area into a spectacular great room for entertaining, relaxing and dining.

The salon features a plasma television on a mechanism that raises and lowers it from the hand-fitted teak cabinetry opposite the U-shaped lounge. The home theater system also includes a DVD/CD player, VCR and FM stereo with custom surround sound speakers. Air conditioning with reverse cycle heat circulates from concealed registers behind the valences to maximize airflow while minimizing noise and drafts. Individual temperature controls increase efficiency and comfort throughout the yacht’s living areas. And, yes... this is still a fishing machine!

The AC/DC main electrical service panel is positioned right inside the molded fiberglass salon door for easy viewing. For added convenience the salon door opens and closes electrically for hands-free operation. In addition to the frameless side windows with tinted tempered glass, which provide natural lighting, the salon also features recessed Halogen lights on dimmer switches and decorative rope lighting behind the valences.

The galley is a chef’s delight with its durable Amtico flooring, under mounted stainless-steel sink and luxurious granite countertops. Appliances include Sub-Zero undercounter refrigeration, a trash compactor, a surface-mounted electric cooktop, and microwave.

Substantial stowage is provided throughout the galley behind varnished teak cabinets with large, easy-sliding pullout drawers. Additionally, stowage compartments are located in the day head, which is adjacent to the galley companionway. For convenience, there are two distinct dining areas with a dinette to starboard, and bar stools to port.

Available with four or five staterooms, as well as a choice of an open and climate-controlled enclosed bridge layout with an available inside spiral staircase to the wheelhouse, the 74 Convertible favors maximum privacy and comfort whether campaigning on the tournament trail or cruising secluded islands in the Bahamas.

The master suite is amidships and offers a king-size walkaround bed with an upholstered headboard and maple-lined stowage below. The bed is flanked with varnished teak end tables and to starboard is an L-shaped lounge with a stowage compartment underneath. Twin maple-lined, mirror-fronted hanging lockers, a teak credenza, a vanity desk and a built-in entertainment system, which includes a flat screen television and stereo/CD player create a most inviting retreat. A variety of layouts allow maximum flexibility.

First and foremost a tournament fishing machine, the cockpit has been designed to accommodate serious blue-water anglers. The 218 square foot cockpit is outfitted with a transom door and walk-through gate, recessed in-deck fish box and available live well and ice box. An observation mezzanine with port and starboard aft facing lounges also houses the tackle cabinets, a bait freezer and general stowage for bulky gear. All hatches feature gas struts for easy lifting and positive action and a refrigerated chill box is in the mezzanine step. For added versatility, port and starboard Glendinning Cablemasters are included.

An exhaustive standard equipment list includes chilled-water air conditioning, an Atlas power system, Headhunter heads, two 27.5 kW gensets, spacious crew quarters with private access, Murray Products helm and companion seats on the flying bridge, recessed electronic stowage, power-assisted hydraulic steering and electronic trolling valves.
 
With propeller pockets reducing its project draft to 5’7” and a 2,400-gallon fuel capacity, (3,000 gallons available as an option), the Viking 74 Convertible will surpass the best in class by creating an entirely new breed of luxury convertible.

The Viking Sport Cruisers 70 Motor Yacht

The new Viking Sport Cruisers 70 Motor Yacht raises the bar in comfort and elegance and will write a new chapter in high-speed, performance cruising.

Comfort and practicality merge on the expansive flybridge with seating for 12, an electric grill and wet bar, sunpad and superb visibility for the operator. There also is space abaft the sunpad for both a tender and a personal watercraft.

The teak-planked afterdeck is ideal for relaxing, and port and starboard steps flanking the lounge lead to the swim platform for easy boarding, or accessing a tender and personal watercraft.

The salon makes excellent use of the wide beam and allows ample seating for family and guests. For ease in moving about, a spiral stairway leads to the flybridge. Rich, gleaming, cherry joiner work imparts a classic look to the exquisite hand-finished cabinetry.
