Available Spring of 2025! Viking’s legendary reputation for building peerless sportfishing yachts continues to wave its reign as we introduce the impeccable 72 Convertible. A family owned and operated company, Viking’s commitment to excellence began in 1964 when brothers, Bill and Bob Healey, opened the doors to a small factory on the Bass River near Atlantic City, New Jersey, with a singular goal amplified by grit and resolve to build a better boat every day. This unyielding mission embraced by our talented shipwrights for more than half a century and supported by our domestic and international dealer network has made Viking a world’s leader in the marine industry with an ultra-modern plant that designs and manufactures nearly 90 percent of what goes into every Viking yacht from 42 to 92 feet. This new 72 Convertible is the latest edition of this fabulous story offering ground breaking blue-water performance, style and engineering. We invite you to contact your Viking dealer to arrange a sea trial and see this amazing achievement in the Viking tradition. The standard Open Bridge accommodations layout includes four staterooms each with a private head, a J-shape sofa in the salon, a U-shape galley with custom granite countertops, crown molding on upper cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry forward, and a queen berth in the forward stateroom. An optional layout also offers crossover berths in the forward stateroom. The standard Enclosed Bridge salon mirrors the Open Bridge plan with the addition of a circular staircase to the enclosed bridge helm, which serves as a second salon with an L-shape sofa, a cocktail table, refrigeration, and an entertainment center. An open galley, an L-shape sofa and crossover berths in the forward stateroom layout also are available. The day head is standard on both versions.

The Viking 72 Enclosed Bridge is a standout in the convertible sportfisher category, renowned for its exceptional build quality and luxurious accommodations. Viking's attention to detail is evident throughout, from the robust hull construction to the high-end interior finishes. The yacht's advanced hull design ensures a smooth and stable ride, even in challenging sea conditions, making it ideal for long offshore trips. While the vessel's powerful engines provide excellent speed and range, prospective owners should be prepared for high fuel consumption and significant maintenance costs due to its complex systems. A marine surveyor would likely focus on the electrical systems and air conditioning units, given the reported issues. Overall, this yacht is perfect for affluent sportfishing enthusiasts who value performance and luxury, though those seeking lower maintenance costs might consider smaller or less complex alternatives.
