The boatbuilders at Viking Yacht Company in New Gretna, New Jersey, have crafted some of the world’s most advanced sport-fishing boats for more than 60 years.

Debuting in 1996, the Viking 55 Convertible became an instant classic as soon as it hit the water, with more than 150 built in its first five years of production. In 2013, Viking relaunched the 55 Convertible with an updated design, and it remained one of the company’s bestselling models.

At press time, 13 Viking 55 Convertibles were listed for sale, ranging from $399,000 to $2.6 million.

From the Archive

“Where this boat truly shines is when she’s pushing herself to the ragged edge of performance. During my wheel time, I took the twin ZF single-lever controls and flattened them to the pins. The optional 1,550 hp MAN 12-cylinder diesels quickly spooled up at 2,330 rpm as the 55 shot in the direction of those calling canyons. I checked the center 17-inch screen and noted the speed on the GPS: 42 knots!”

Viking Yachts 74 Convertible Reviewed https://www.yachtingmagazine.com/yachts/viking-yachts-74-convertible-reviewed/ Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:00:00 +0000 https://www.yachtingmagazine.com/?p=70759 The latest model from Viking Yacht Company is a sleek, 45-knot 74-footer designed to chase the world's toughest gamefish.

Having spent hundreds of hours as a tournament angler aboard various Viking sport-fishermen over the years, with much of that time in the cockpit of the original Viking 74, I looked forward to checking out the updated version prior to its debut at this year’s Miami International Boat Show.

For more than 60 years, Viking Yacht Company has been a leader in the semi-custom sport-fish market, thanks to virtually nonstop development of new boats and the constant evolution of existing models. Case in point: the Viking 74 Convertible.

The first-generation 74, built from 2004 through 2008, was a highly sought-after model for its onboard comfort, long-range capability and excellent fishability. That model also had a top speed of 37 knots with twin 2,000 hp MTUs, making it among the fastest sport-fishers on the water. Speed jumped to 40 knots when 2,400 hp engines became available.

The new second-gen 74-footer has the advantage of even more horsepower—2,600 hp MTUs—plus a variety of hull design improvements. It’s also available with the Advanced Viking Propulsion System, which utilizes struts and rudders with modified shapes to minimize hydrodynamic resistance and improve performance.

Computational fluid dynamics helped the Viking design team refine a number of elements on the new boat, including the longitudinal center of gravity, hull resistance and trim angle. Viking’s team also modified the running surface, with strakes and chines that are particularly aggressive for increased lift and spray deflection. The boat’s length-to-beam ratio was dialed in for improved ride quality.

The hull—as well as fuel, water and waste tanks, and all structural bulkheads—is constructed with resin infusion. A variety of core materials are used, with specific densities depending on their location. Carbon fiber helps to make sure the boat is strong and fast.

I had the opportunity to check out the Viking 74 in southern Florida, and I came away thoroughly impressed with the new design.

The first thing I noticed was performance. Every angler knows that if you can be the first one to reach the fish in the morning, or have the ability to move in a hurry when a hot bite turns on over the horizon, you have a distinct advantage, especially on the big-money tournament circuit. The Viking 74C that I got aboard had an optimal fast cruising speed of 37.6 knots at 2,100 rpm with the optional twin 2,635 hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines. This speed yielded a range of 352 nautical miles with a standard fuel load of 2,030 gallons and a 5 percent safety reserve.

Backing off the throttles a bit to 1,700 rpm and 28 knots let the range climb to 406 nautical miles. Still not enough? The optional 600 gallons of additional fuel capacity will let this yacht run even farther.

We saw calm seas and light winds off Palm Beach, Florida, so we were able to wring out the big Viking’s top end. At 2,456 rpm, the boat hit 45 knots with ease. It also carved turns with aplomb and backed down rapidly in any direction, at a clip much faster than most anglers can wind the reel.

In fact, the 74 will be part of the builder’s factory demonstrator fishing team for this summer and beyond, so expect to see it at tournaments along the East Coast and in Bermuda.

Back at the dock for a full walk-through, my first impression of the teak-topped cockpit was its size: 216 square feet of fish-fighting room for a team of anglers to spread out. Two full-length in-deck fish boxes are to port and starboard, with a centerline hatch for easy access to the optional Seakeeper gyrostabilizer. The transom has a fish box that can also be used as a livewell to keep a full day’s supply of bait ready to go. The unlimited-class Release Marine fighting chair can be swapped out for a multirod rocket launcher when the day calls for lighter tackle.

Moving into the salon, I liked the North American walnut used for the woodwork throughout. It is enhanced by dimmable strip lighting recessed in the overhead. The woodwork can be finished in gloss or satin. (I prefer the latter, since it tends to hide fingerprints better.)

With 80 inches of headroom throughout the boat, it feels spacious, open and inviting. A day head is immediately to port after entering from the cockpit. The galley is offered in two configurations: the standard U-shaped layout with a wraparound lounge, and an open version with an island counter and lounge on the starboard side.

The 74’s standard accommodation plan consists of four staterooms, each with an en suite head and a separate shower. The layout also has a dedicated rod-and-tackle room, with stowage for fishing gear and a workbench for maintaining everything in good working order.

For those who enjoy chasing billfish, tuna and other pelagic species in the deep blue waters of the world, there are a select few semi-custom boatbuilders that produce vessels with the right combination of performance, accommodations, luxury and eye-catching style. This iteration of the 74C once again puts Viking Yachts at the top of that list.  

The Legacy

Viking Yacht Company has been building luxury performance sport-fishing and cruising yachts for more than six decades. Founded by brothers Bob and Bill Healey in 1964 when they bought Peterson Viking—at the time, a builder of 37-foot wooden sport-fishing boats—Viking has grown to become a world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production. The yard has delivered more than 5,500 vessels. The current fleet includes more than a dozen models from 38 to 90 feet.

Vertical Integration

More than 90 percent of every Viking is built in-house by the yard’s workforce at its 880,000-square-foot facility in New Gretna, New Jersey. Viking subsidiaries Atlantic Marine Electronics, Palm Beach Towers and Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida, work with the builder to outfit vessels with optional electronics, tops, towers and accessories, making the boats virtually turnkey for buyers who can add bait and go fishing.

The MTU main engines have just 1,250 hours on them as of March 1, 2025. The twin Kohler generators are at 850 hours. 

Yachting previously wrote: “Thanks to weight-saving techniques throughout the boat—including a Kevlar-infused hull, carbon-fiber laminate in the deckhouse and hardtop, and a smoother running bottom with strut cones and many of the pickups flush-mounted—this 145,461-pound battlewagon moved through the water at 41-plus knots at her top end, with a comfortable 2,100 rpm cruise of 35.2 knots. She carved precise turns at those 35-knot speeds and backed down with nimbleness, assurance and control as the electric tabs automatically retracted. I had the feeling of hitting the throttles and letting raw power take over as she jumped out of the hole. Once you get your hands on the wheel, it’s hard to let go.”

Yachting previously wrote: “The salon is accessed via electric sliders, and my first impression was one of volume, helped by the vessel’s nearly 19-foot beam. Not only did the side windows enhance this effect, but the straight passage to the guest staterooms allowed me to look unhindered from the cockpit to the forward VIP stateroom. Joinery was in walnut, with a choice of satin or high gloss, and the layout was simple, with an L-shaped settee to starboard around a walnut table. A pop-up 50-inch TV was to port.

Forward was the galley, with a raised bar above stone counters, as well as two stools so guests could chat with the chef. To port was a settee (raised 10 inches) around a dining table (with rod stowage underneath) that allowed a panoramic view at rest or while fishing. The chef had enough counter space to handle a hungry crew, and six undercounter fridge drawers for stowage. With tournaments in mind, there was also a freezer under the flybridge sun pad.”
