An In-Depth Review of the Viking 54 Open: A Modern Yachting Marvel

The Viking 54 Open blends modern design and advanced technology, establishing a strong presence in the yachting sector. It offers a length overall of 54 feet and a beam width of 17 feet 8 inches, providing a stable platform suitable for both cruising and entertaining. This versatility makes it perfect for a range of activities, whether you’re on a fishing trip, diving expedition, or enjoying a leisurely day on the water.

Highlights of the Viking 54 Design

The Viking 54 Open features an intelligently planned interior with options for either two or three staterooms, tailored to the owner’s needs. The master suite, located at the forward end of the yacht, is equipped with a comfortable queen-size island bed and features high-quality walnut cabinetry for ample storage. The galley is well-equipped with full appliances, including under-counter refrigeration and an engineered stone countertop, providing both functionality and luxury. The salon boasts a 43-inch HD TV, Amtico flooring, and premium carpeting, creating a relaxing ambiance throughout the yacht.

Performance Engineering at Its Best

Powering the Viking 54 Open are the reliable MAN V12 engines, which are known for their efficiency and dependability. The yacht’s engineering excellence is complemented by Optimus Electronic Power Steering, ensuring hassle-free navigation. The yacht also features a Delta-T ventilation system and an advanced fire suppression system, providing safety during your journeys. With these comprehensive features, the Viking 54 Open guarantees a smooth cruise and exceptional handling, even under challenging sea conditions.

Specifications That Stand Out

  • Length Overall (LOA): 54 ft. 6 in. (16.61 m)
  • Beam: 17 ft. 8 in. (5.38 m)
  • Draft: 4 ft. 10 in. (1.47 m)
  • Gross Weight: 70,230 lbs. (31,856 kg)
  • Fuel Capacity: 1,486 gal. (5,625 l)
  • Water Capacity: 198 gals. (750 l)
  • Cockpit Area: 154 sq. ft. (14.3 m)

Exterior Excellence and Functionality

The deck and cockpit of the Viking 54 Open are optimized for a range of activities. With a cockpit area of 154 square feet, it boasts mezzanine seating that includes cooler storage, which can be optionally converted to freezer space. This flexibility is complemented by features such as drink coolers, in-deck fish storage boxes, a transom live well, and a transom door with a lift gate. The single centerline lazarette hatch opens wide for easy access to equipment such as the Seakeeper stabilization system and the boat’s steering, trim tabs, and drain pumps.

The Command Deck and Helm Arrangement

Viking has meticulously crafted the command deck layout to ensure maximum functionality and comfort. The open aft bulkhead design provides easy access to the cockpit, while the captain benefits from a raised platform helm seat for enhanced visibility. The helm is equipped with three multifunction displays, each up to 22 inches, ensuring all navigational and operational controls are within easy reach. The integration of the MAN engine displays, autopilot, and VHF radios exemplifies the thoughtfulness in utility and ease of use.

Onboard Comfort and Amenities

The Viking 54 does not compromise on comfort. Plump cushions on the port-side U-shaped lounge, surrounding a walnut table, ensure guests are cradled in luxury. An L-shaped lounge with storage beneath further complements the yacht’s substantial seating arrangements. Below deck, the interior layout fully utilizes the yacht’s broad beam, offering significant living space, be it the two or three-stateroom configuration. Guests can enjoy private access to shared facilities based on the arrangement, ensuring every voyage is as enjoyable as it is comfortable.

Robust Power and Mechanical Systems

The engine room, easily accessed through steps built into the mezzanine, houses the powerful twin MAN V12 1400CRM engines. These engines deliver high MHP levels, with the option to upgrade to MAN V12 1550CRM for additional power. Furthermore, an Onan 21.5 kW E-QD generator provides robust electrical support, reflective of the yacht’s commitment to maintaining high levels of onboard amenities and systems reliability.
