New Viking Yachts 72 Convertible

The salon of the Viking 72 C is all about gracious living, encompassing a collaboration of smart styling and uninterrupted elegance with infinite customizations. Taking advantage of the 20-foot beam, the salon is an impressive haven for both party festivities and more intimate settings. Gathering areas throughout the salon, the galley and the dinette set the background for entertaining and relaxing with distinct comfort and inviting accommodations. A custom home theater system includes a 55-inch HD television which rises from the starboard cabinetry supported with surround sound fidelity. A pantry forward of the galley, and a day head just inside of the salon door add generous versatilities.

The master suite is dressed as a sumptuous and private palace with designer furnishings and appointments throughout including a walk around king-size bed. In addition to stowage beneath the berth for bulky items, his and her maple-lined hanging lockers and credenzas enhance wardrobe capacity for long term cruising. A 40-inch HD television, a stereo, and a lavish, private head are standard amenities

Guest staterooms are appealing, private and comfortable, and each has its own head and fiberglass shower stall. Forward accommodations are a choice of a queen-size bed, or cross over berths, a popular option with tournament fishermen, or for cruising families. Upper and lower berths are provided in the port stateroom and in the crew quarters, which have convenient and dual access through the companionway and the cockpit via the engine room

The flying bridge is the ultimate example of form following function in command station design and engineering. The center console helm has single lever electronic controls matched to a pair of MTU 16V Series 2000 M96L diesels and Viking’s proprietary VIPER (Viking Independent Programmable Electro-hydraulic Rudder) steering system, which combine to deliver extraordinary response and maneuverability. Three pedestal helm chairs, flanking lounges with rod stowage below, and a forward lounge make the bridge a social area.

Viking’s tournament experience has resulted in a 209 square-foot cockpit designed with every amenity needed for any fishing assignment. The bridge overhang shields the mezzanine from sun and spray and keeps observers close to the action, but clear of activity in the lower cockpit. Beneath the mezzanine cushions are freezer and stowage compartments, and the mezzanine deck conceals bait freezers, an ice chipper receptacle, a refrigerated step cooler, tackle compartments, and access to the engine room. A transom fish box and live well, wash down systems, recessed fish and stowage wells, and a transom door with a lift gate are among a long list of standard features.
