The Expansive Viking 54 Series
The Viking 54 Sport Tower, alongside its sibling models the 54 Open and 54 Sport Coupe, represents Viking Yacht Company’s latest foray into the mid-size sportfishing yacht category. With these introductions, Viking showcases its ability to innovate and adapt to the needs of discerning yacht enthusiasts by combining tried-and-true hull designs with new topside configurations. Such innovations have positioned these models as industry leaders, offering unparalleled performance and luxury.
Exterior Design and Fishing Capabilities
The exterior of the Viking 54 Sport Tower is quintessentially Viking – sleek, robust, and purpose-built for sportfishing adventures. The three-sided fiberglass deckhouse provides durability and style, with an optional solid aft bulkhead for added protection. The deck space includes an impressive 154-square-foot cockpit designed for optimal fishing and leisure activities. Key features in the cockpit include twin mezzanine seating with cooler storage that can be converted into freezer space if needed, in-deck fish and storage boxes, a transom live well, and a transom door with a lift gate. For those who want to take their sportfishing to the next level, adding a Palm Beach Towers (PBT) tuna tower enhances the yacht’s fishing capabilities.
Command Deck Layout
The command deck of the Viking 54 Sport Tower is a hub of functionality and style. Its open aft bulkhead allows quick access to the cockpit, and a centerline helm ensures excellent visibility. The helm is complemented by multi-function displays up to 22 inches, flush-mounted in recessed panels, making navigation and control intuitive and efficient. The integration of Bocatech switches and operational controls enhances the command center’s streamlined design, providing an excellent interface for captains.
Interior Luxury and Customization
Viking offers a choice of layouts to suit varying preferences, with two- and three-stateroom options available. Each layout is designed to maximize space and comfort. The forward master stateroom comes with a queen-size bed, ample storage, and a private head. Port-side staterooms come equipped with both upper and lower berths, with access to shared or exclusive bathroom facilities based on the layout. The galley, located midship on the starboard side, boasts modern appliances, engineered stone countertops, and walnut cabinetry, offering both functionality and luxury.
Entertainment and Amenities
Entertainment is key aboard the Viking 54 Sport Tower. Whether relaxing after a day of fishing or hosting guests, the cabin’s ambiance is enhanced by Amtico flooring, premium carpeting, and a 43-inch HD TV. Two layout options allow for either an L-shaped lounge with a table or booth seating that can serve as a dining area or a meeting space for guests.
Advanced Propulsion and Power Systems
At the heart of the Viking 54 Sport Tower’s performance are its twin MAN V12 engines, with the 1400CRM engines being standard. Buyers looking for enhanced power can opt for the MAN V12 1550CRM engines. The performance is further enhanced by features like Optimus Electronic Power Steering combined with high-speed stainless-steel rudders and single-lever electronic controls. The engineroom is fortified with a Delta-T ventilation system, oil change systems for engines and generators, and an efficient fire suppression system to ensure safety and reliability.
