Viking 54 Sport Tower Review

• By Peter Frederiksen
• July 19, 2022

Viking Yachts has a proven formula for expanding its fleet by building a completely new model within a model. The New Gretna, New Jersey, boatbuilder’s latest example is its 54 Sport Tower, a model that premiered at the 2022 Miami International Boat Show. Utilizing the resin-infused composite-constructed hull of its 54 Convertible that launched one year before, the Viking engineering and design group unleashed its pair of five-axis profilers to manufacture a series of molds that created a new hard-sided deckhouse, hardtop and cockpit, resulting in the largest express sport-fishing yacht in the company’s 58-year history.

The 54 ST is part of the 54 Open series, which also includes the 54 Open and Sport Coupe. Our test boat was Hull No. 1 of the series, a stealthy bluewater battlewagon made available to us by its owner through Viking dealer Staten Island Yacht Sales. Express-style sportboats demonstrate peak appeal to owner-operators who typically fish with small crews by allowing the skipper to be just steps away from the cockpit. Adding a tuna tower doubles the boat’s efficacy, and the combination of its fishing features married to an inviting interior is an attraction for both new and experienced owners—especially those who participate in tournaments. The style also caters to owners who are considering either moving up or down in boat size.

Cockpit and Command Deck

Sporting 154 square feet of usable space, the cockpit is well-designed and outfitted for offshore work. A livewell is built into the transom with a split lid, and is available with a transparent viewing window and interior lighting. Recessed storage compartments beneath the fiberglass sole can be divided to accept deposits from the ice machine, handle the day’s catch, stow gear, or supplement the livewell capacity when needed. Removable on-deck livewells also can be added, with direct drainage overboard through custom scupper fittings.

A walk-through ­transom door with lift gate, along with a single large lazarette hatch to protect and access a Seakeeper SK16 ­gyrostabilizer, contribute safety, comfort and convenience. Beneath the coaming finds the Cablemaster shore power feed, 12- and 24-volt outlets to supply power to kite reels and dredge gear, dockside freshwater inlets, as well as freshwater and saltwater outlets.

Watch: We show you how to rig one of the best baits for blue marlin: the swimming mackerel .

The mezzanine deck features twin seating separated at the centerline to reach the command bridge and engine room. Beneath each seat, insulated storage is ­suitable for an available freezer option. The mezzanine steps also add capacity for gear and a drink-box cooler.

The command station is organized with large, distortion-free glass panels recessed into the one-piece fiberglass wraparound windshield. An adjustable Stidd helm chair is mounted on a raised platform to deliver comfort and ­spot-on visibility when steaming offshore, watching the activity in the cockpit, or monitoring three Garmin 8622 displays in the raised console above the fiberglass—or optional teak—helm pod. Electronic ZF single-lever controls with built-in bow-thruster buttons are matched to the stainless-steel steering wheel, and Optimus power steering provides the right consolidation for effortless control and rapid response.

Available air conditioning at the helm keeps the cool breeze flowing. A recessed portside console box contains a pair of VHF radios, Bocatech switches, gyro, thruster, thermal camera, watermaker, ice chipper and trim-tab displays, among other ship’s systems, and the Rupp hydraulic outrigger switches. Engine and other Garmin instrumentation are flush-mounted into the hardtop underside, as are a pair of Miya Epoch Super US-9R teaser reels and a pair of rod lockers to accommodate rod-and-reel outfits and gaffs. Flanking the helm are companion navigator chairs with storage underneath.

The command deck is noteworthy for its volume because it uses much of the boat’s almost-18-foot beam. Aft of the helm, the area resembles the space you would find in a convertible’s salon, with a dinette to port and an L-shape lounge to starboard, plus another deep-capacity refrigerated drink box. Chilled air flows from the vents in the cushions lining the area for desired climate control. The insulated deck sole and the ceiling height do a good job absorbing ambient noise, making it easy to converse at normal levels. Aft bulkhead options include a choice of soft rollup or fixed design.

The second command station is provided by Viking subsidiary Palm Beach Towers by way of a 5-foot-6-inch gap tuna tower with a one-piece fiberglass standing platform, complete with molded-in LED spreader lights fore and aft underneath. A 63-inch control box is equipped with everything needed to control your fishing day, including a Garmin 8612 multifunctional display, VDO tachometers, start/stop buttons and a freshwater washdown outlet. No such thing as a bad day at whichever office you select with this ride.

Accommodations

A sliding glass door leads below. Similar to a convertible layout, the beam makes for maximum overnight privacy and rest. Two arrangements are offered and share a commonality of features, including high-gloss horizontal walnut joinery and easy-care Amtico flooring.

Our test boat had a three-stateroom layout: a master forward with a queen-size bed, ample storage, a 32-inch high-definition television, and a private head with a fiberglass shower stall; upper and lower berths on the port side outfit the remaining two cabins and share the second head and shower. The starboard-side galley is a wall of cabinetry, manufactured stone counters, and a premium appliance package, including a 50-inch HD television. Booth-style seating is available in the salon, and a washer and dryer are located in the companionway. The two-stateroom version has a larger salon with an L-shaped lounge and high-low table. Either arrangement should appeal to any traveling ­tournament team.

Engine Room and Performance

Mechanical installations are neat in true Viking fashion, and the Awlgrip-finished engine room provides move-around accessibility. On centerline there is 79 inches of headroom walking in, and 61 inches at the forward bulkhead. Also at the engine room entrance are four digital displays that monitor the status temps of the Dometic refrigeration equipment, a set of analog gauges for main-engine oil pressures, water temperatures and digital tachs.

The 54 Sport Tower refuses to fall short of Viking’s high-standing seakeeping principles. We were able to sea-trial the boat in the open ocean off Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with the twin V-12 MAN 1550 CRM diesel engines hustling us along at 40 knots. At 1,950 rpm, the boat cruised at 34.6 knots and burned 58 gph per side with a nearly full load of fuel, full of water, and the owner’s gear. As we throttled up to 2,100 rpm, the boat recorded a respectable 36.4 knots, consuming 126 gph. This model performs similarly to the 54-foot convertible, a testament to Viking’s design and engineering department’s effort to push the envelope toward a smooth and dry ride by consistently refining the running surface.

Introducing new models is a way of life for the Viking Yacht Company, and the 54 ST is a prime example of the company’s heritage to build a better boat every day. I have run many express boats in my past career as a charter- and private-boat captain. Some of them were noisy, some were slow, some had so-so visibility, and some had terrible mechanical systems and installations. Express boats are basically a hybrid design—good at some things, not so good at others. But this 54 ST is fast, quiet and would be fun to fish on. Equally impressive, combined with its sister companies Atlantic Marine Electronics and Palm Beach Towers, Viking is a unique builder, delivering its boats in a turnkey, ready-to-go-fishing manner. And who doesn’t like a ready-to-use, right-out-of-the-box product these days?

Reviewed: Viking Yachts 64 Convertible

• By Chris Caswell
• July 15, 2022

Most buyers of the Viking Yachts 64C are likely to be serious anglers, which is why the 180-square-foot cockpit is arranged for pelagic pursuits.

The cockpit’s uncluttered layout is the result of thousands of hours of experience aboard other Vikings in big-game tournaments around the globe. The 64C I got aboard had a leaning post/rod holder that bolted into an aluminum backing plate laminated in the cockpit sole, with double-hatch fish boxes on each side. Abaft that, a rounded teak cap rail held a livewell. Overlooking the whole scene was a mezzanine for crew to keep an eye on the spread, along with tackle stowage and a cold box. This 64C also had a Dometic ice machine on the port side for chilling down the fish boxes.

But great fishing setups aren’t the only thing Viking has experience building. Inside, the 64C has the same high-end fit-and-finish for which the brand has long been known.

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.

While this sport-fishing yacht is just under 64 feet in length overall, it has three en suite staterooms and a crew cabin that could be used by a guest.

The master stateroom is amidships with a queen-size island berth that has an innerspring mattress and walk-around space. Full-height, maple-lined hanging lockers fill the after bulkhead; a locker with bureau shelves is forward; and the en suite head has a 3-foot-wide shower to rinse off the heat of a day spent fishing.

Going forward, the passage hides a full-size washer and dryer and ends at the VIP stateroom forward, also with an innerspring queen berth. This walk-around berth is high (40 inches), and there’s an en suite head that has an oversize (28-by-9-inch) shower. A hanging locker and four drawers under the berth handle guest clothing. An optional layout splits the berth space in this stateroom, so you get a double berth and a bunk for extra crew.

Two more sleeping spaces are to port off the passage: a guest stateroom with twin berths, and a crew cabin with two bunks. The guest stateroom has the third en suite head with a shower. It serves as a day head and is used by the crew cabin. The crew spaces have the same fit-and-finish as the guest spaces.

The flybridge is reached via teak steps and reflects current Viking design thinking, with a streamlined console. A trio of Release ladder-back pedestal seats are abaft the black acrylic dash, with a trio of monitors and Bocatech switching. A drop-down overhead box has more electronics.

Three things stood out to me on the 64C’s bridge: the syrupy-smooth wood of the Palm Beach-style steering pod, with single-lever throttles on each side that make for easy control when facing aft; great visibility thanks to the lack of a Venturi windscreen forward; and hidden “glove boxes” with folding lids that conceal VHF radios and mics.

The fiberglass hardtop has a fold-down hatch to access the teaser reels, and the space is partially enclosed with hard side curtains. In each corner of the bridge are thoughtful amenities, including a sink and fridge. Molded into the helm console is a stretch-out lounge with armrests and a freezer underneath.

Viking also offers the 64C with an enclosed bridge, which moves the helm forward and creates an aerie with salon seating, stairs from the interior and a docking station on the aft deck.

Down below and aft, the engine room is accessed via a hatch in the cockpit, with a ladder providing access to all the systems, including a 21 kW Onan genset. There is 6-foot headroom and space between and abaft the diesels for service. Owners and service techs should have no problem with daily checks or repairs. Viking finishes the 64C’s bilge in snow-white Awlgrip, a durable urethane. Batteries are in custom fiberglass storage boxes, and a pair of battery chargers should keep them topped off.

The Seakeeper 26 is accessed through a lazarette hatch, which also leads to the pumps, steering and tabs.

A variety of power options including MAN, Caterpillar and MTU are available. The base package is a pair of 1,550 hp MAN V-12 diesels, and the options go up to twin 2,022 hp MTU M96X V-12 diesels.

The 64C I got aboard had the bigger motors, which topped the yacht out at 42 knots. Pushing down the two single-lever throttles resulted in a satisfying surge to full plane without requiring tabs to prevent bow rise. Viking Capt. Sean Dooley said he had recently brought the 64C back from a tournament in the Florida Keys, running at 80 percent power (2,100 rpm) and 36 knots. The boat consumed 152 gph, giving it a range (with a safety margin) of more than 380 nautical miles.

All Viking yachts benefit from the lessons learned with previous builds, and the 64C is no different. Some of the 64C’s hull refinements include modifying the chine angle from the 12-degree transom deadrise, softening the radius of the chine itself, and rearranging the strakes forward to further reduce spray. The results are faster planing, higher speed and better efficiency.

Once again, Viking has raised the bar not just on its own products but also on sport-fishers in general. Impeccably built, thoughtfully outfitted for fishing and with performance to satisfy, the Viking Yachts 64C is built by anglers and for anglers.

One Tough Beauty

The Viking 64C has a vinylester-resin hull that is vacuum-infused and should prevent blisters. Bulkheads and fuel tanks are resin-infused too, and the hull-to-deck joint is through-bolted every 3 inches. The mold work is impeccable, with the topsides and cabin unmarred by ripples. High-level Viking craftsmanship is evident everywhere, including in the finely mitered joints in the after corners. And, the 64C is the first Viking with matched grain woodwork throughout the salon and staterooms. Making this feature look right requires precise joinery techniques.

Towering View

The tuna tower on the 64C, made by Viking-owned Palm Beach Towers, is a 10-foot gap tower with 43-foot triple-spreader outriggers. It has a centerline helm with a Furuno color scanning sonar, a seat and a padded rail for three people.   

Stick Stowage

Every angler has a multitude of rods for various angling activities. The 64C provides stowage for a full quiver in a pullout drawer under the dinette, as well as inside lockers in the cockpit, which hold tag sticks and gaffs.
