Used Viking 65 Convertible Yacht For Sale

ABOUT THE 65 Convertible

The Viking 65 Convertible is a 65-foot open bridge sportfishing yacht with a flybridge that was produced by New Jersey-based Viking Yachts between 2000 and 2005. Though no longer built as new, this vintage model retains an evergreen popularity on the used and charter markets thanks to its sleek looks, high-performance speed, undeniable fishing prowess and sumptuous interior design.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Beam 18' 9"
• Draft 5' 6"
• Displacement 96,000 lbs.
• Engine Manufacturer MTU
• Fuel Capacity 2,000 gallons

This yacht can be fitted with a custom-made tuna tower from Viking subsidiary Palm Beach Towers for elevated tuna-spotting and piloting, though even without this addition owner-operators can benefit from a raised helm station on the 65C’s open flybridge. This water-proofed fiberglass helm station benefits from a pair of leather helm chairs, power steering, bow thruster controls and instrumentation provided by Atlantic Marine Electronics. There is also room up here for a large drink cooler, an L-shaped forward sofa with views out across the bow and a side chaise-longue, all covered by a flat, fiberglass top with a removable plexiglass screen available to protect from spray.

Hardcore fishermen will undoubtedly love this vessel’s 179-square foot aft-cockpit, from where many a tournament winner has hauled in record-breaking marlin. The cockpit hosts a transom tuna door, rod storage, flush rod holders, a bait-prep console with a freezer, tackle storage units, Glendinning Cablemasters and a floor plate for a fighting chair or rocket launcher. The cockpit is lined in non-slip and easy to clean fiberglass with both fresh and raw-water hoses, and benefits from plenty of powder-coated grabrails to help keep you upright at the vital moments.

While exterior spaces on the Viking 65C are all about fishing practicality, when you step indoors you will find that the emphasis is placed squarely on luxury, comfort and style. A salon decked out in high-gloss, hand-crafted teak and plush carpeting features a U-shaped leather sofa surrounding a coffee table to port, with plenty of cabinet space to starboard. Moving slightly forward you will find a walk-in galley with granite worktops, a three-zone hob, under-counter fridge-freezer units and a combination oven. There is also a U-shaped dining sofa across from the kitchen, hugging a faux-marble-topped dining table where guests can enjoy sophisticated evening meals while gazing out of panoramic side windows.

Lower deck spaces offer comfortable retreats for up to six overnight guests across an en-suite bunk berth to starboard, an en-suite double stateroom to the bow, and an en-suite amidship owner’s stateroom to port. The owner’s room features a king-sized bed, bedside cabinets, maple-lined hanging closets and a private lounge area with a loveseat.

Central to the Viking 65C’s appeal are top speeds that can keep up with the feistiest bluefin tunas in the ocean, and thanks to a pair of MTU 16V 1800MHP diesel engines you can expect full-throttle speeds of 39 knots. At a more economical 34-knot cruise you will find that this is one of the most balanced and nimble fishing yachts on the market, with the sort of agility you would expect from a much smaller boat. A fuel capacity of 2,000 gallons, meanwhile, ensures that you can traverse the seas far and wide in search of tuna-rich waters with plenty of spare capacity left in the tank.

The 65 Viking is one of the best-selling Viking Convertibles of all time. The 2004 65 Viking Convertible, "Tricia III" is a fantastic example of this classic model. She features the optional and more desirable four stateroom arrangement, a full tower, teak decks, 2000 series MTU power, twin generators and a whole host of other value-added features. In 2003 the hull bottom of the 65 was re-designed with prop pockets to reduce the draft by a full foot.  "Tricia III" is a highly desirable shallower draft 65 model.

Viking Yachts and the 2000 Viking 65 Convertible

The Viking Yachts company was started by two brothers who now have over five decades of experience building luxury performance sportfishing and cruising yachts. In 1964 Bob and Bill Healey bought a company called Peterson-Viking Builders out of New Jersey which at the time was building 37-foot wooden sportfishing boats. The small company was struggling at the time, but after the Healeys picked it up, it eventually became what we know it as today.

Viking Yachts is a world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production with over 4,000 boats delivered and a history of continually striving to achieve perfection.

The Viking 65

The Viking 65 first rolled out of the yard in 2000 and has since become known as one of the finest looking, strongest performing sportfisherman ever. Its clean, crisp handling allows it to cut through the water and make shallow to medium turns without losing speed.

From a style perspective, there are a few changes to previous years’ line ups. For one, there is more of a crown on the foredeck. Corners are more rounded, and frameless windows smoothly follow the contour of the cabin.

The building process.

The Viking 65s are built with two major parts – the hull and the foredeck plus the deckhouse and cockpit assembly. These components are mechanically and chemically bonded to create one-piece constructions that can take the punishments of any ocean year after year. The hull weighs only about 1,000 pounds more than the 58. This is partly thanks to the end-grain balsa composite hull construction that gives the 65 great strength while also saving on weight. With exception to under the engine area, the stringers on the 65 are foam filled for additional weight reduction.

The first thing you may notice up top is is plenty of seating in front of the wheel along with plenty of room for equipment stowage. An additional refrigerated drink box will keep you from having to go down below to quench your thirst. There is both a captain’s chair and a guest helm chair positioned behind the clean looking instrument panels to offer a commanding view for maneuvering and docking.

Sport Fishing Capabilities

A massive cockpit allows for more than one angler on deck without getting in each other’s way. The 65 is known for its minimalism both on deck and below, but don’t let that fool you. There is, simply put, a place for everything which is what keeps this cockpit and deck looking tidy and sharp. You still have all your fishing amenities. They are just strategically placed to avoid visual clutter. Take for example, a refrigerated drink cooler hidden under one set of steps and a cleaning supply and bait stowage compartment under another set.

Step Inside

Go forward, take two steps up, and you’ll enter the main salon where you’ll first notice how clean and minimalist the cabin may look. But as with the sport fishing amenities, don’t let that fool you into thinking the 65 is short on creature comforts. The brothers at Viking simply are keen on hiding appliances in the galley while being able to show off the hand finished joinery.

A four-cabin layout is standard, featuring staterooms that are both spacious and luxurious. The master suite is perfectly located amidships and offers a walk around king-size bed. There is a rather large stowage compartment directly under the bed that will accommodate large or bulky gear. Moving forward to the VIP stateroom, you’ll be greeted with a queen-sized bed along with a private head and shower for your guests. Then there is the starboard stateroom that can handle two guests in upper and lower berths. Finally, the fourth stateroom, just above the master suite, has its own access to the engine room, making it an ideal cabin for crew.

Two direct drive diesel MTU M91s capable of producing 1800 horsepower each can propel the 65 to just under 40-knots which will get you anywhere in a hurry. A better cruising speed is around 30-32-knots. At this speed she is both comfortable and smooth. The engine room is clean, and much attention has been put into positioning maintenance items in easily accessible areas.
