Unveiling the Design Marvels of the Viking 64 Convertible

The Craftsmanship Behind Viking Yachts

Viking has always been at the forefront of yacht design, and the 64 Convertible is no exception. Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, the design team meticulously crafted the running surface of the yacht, optimizing it for superior performance and fuel efficiency. The hull is constructed using a composite of fiberglass fabrics and coring, vacuum-infused with vinylester resin, ensuring strength and minimizing weight. Fuel tanks and structural bulkheads are resin-infused, providing additional durability. The hull-to-deck is through-bolted every three inches and reinforced with fiberglass from the inside, creating a robust structure capable of withstanding rigorous conditions at sea.

Specifications and Power Details

The Viking 64 Convertible is designed for those who demand performance, power, and reliability. It comes equipped with twin MAN V12 1550CRM engines as the standard, offering several power configurations up to twin 2025 MHP. Hull No. 1 is powered by MTU Series 12V 2000 M96X engines, each offering 2002 MHP of power. The following are the key specifications of the vessel:

  • Length Overall (LOA): 63 ft. 10 in.
  • Beam: 18 ft. 11 in.
  • Draft: 5 ft. 7 in.
  • Gross Weight: 99,738 lbs.
  • Fuel Capacity: 2,201 gallons
  • Water Capacity: 302 gallons
  • Cockpit Area: 180 sq. ft.

This remarkable vessel sets the standard for performance and luxury in its class, making it an exceptional choice for sportfishing enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike.

Luxurious Interior and Accommodations

The interior of the Viking 64 Convertible redefines luxury with its spacious design and premium materials. The salon features natural walnut cabinetry, available in a hi-gloss or satin finish, contributing to an upscale yet warm ambiance. The starboard-side L-shaped lounge offers comfortable seating with storage below and is complemented by a pop-up 50-inch HDTV entertainment system. This area, along with a walnut cocktail table, creates an inviting space for relaxation or social gatherings.

The galley provides a range of modern amenities, including under-counter Sub-Zero refrigeration, a four-burner cooktop, and a microwave/convection oven, presenting a home-like cooking experience at sea. The dining area, which seats four, is positioned beside the galley on a raised platform offering enhanced views and extra storage for fishing gear under the seats.

The Viking 64 accommodates up to four staterooms, offering ample storage, high-definition televisions, and ensuite heads. The master stateroom features a queen-size walk-around berth with custom inner-spring mattresses, creating a haven of comfort while at sea. The forward stateroom offers a crossover berth option, catering to diverse sleeping arrangements.

Advanced Flybridge and Cockpit Design

Keeping with Viking’s emphasis on function and form, the flybridge of the 64 Convertible includes a walk-around center console that’s space-efficient and ergonomic. The area includes a black acrylic panel that holds the flush-mounted all-glass electronics displays, contributing to a clean, modern aesthetic. The helm station is equipped with Bocatech switching, custom helm pod, and an arrangement of seating options that offer both comfort and style, making it a great location for navigating or relaxing.

The 180-square-foot cockpit is designed with thoughtful details to enhance fishing capabilities and comfort. Equipped with flush rod holders, washdown systems, a transom fish box with a live well, and insulated fish storage boxes, the cockpit is a fully functional space for angling enthusiasts. An optional in-deck live well increases versatility for fishing trips. Additional features like side lockers for gaff and tag stick storage, as well as a lazarette hatch with power actuation for access to the Seakeeper 26 and other mechanisms, underscore the practical design focus.

Mechanical Excellence

The mechanical systems aboard the Viking 64 Convertible are engineered for durability and ease of maintenance. The engine room is coated with Snow White Awlgrip for easier cleaning and better visibility. Dedicated pumps manage essential tasks for air conditioning, live wells, and washdown systems, engineered for reliability and longevity. In the engine room, expert mounting of batteries in custom fiberglass boxes, alongside a generous 21.5 kW Onan generator, ensures uninterrupted power supply and system efficiency.

The option for an Enclosed Bridge model adds further luxury, with its own dedicated control station and salon area, accessible by internal stairs from the main salon. This model adds a docking station on the aft deck for added convenience.
