A Pioneering Design
The Viking 64 Convertible heralds a new era in the world of sportfishing yachts. This vessel showcases a sophisticated S-shaped profile that gracefully extends from the bow to the stern, blending both style and practicality. Notable design features include a swept-back black-masked windshield, pronounced hull and deckhouse feature lines, and characteristic hull-side vents which give the yacht its distinctive, globally recognized Viking silhouette. This design not only embodies aesthetic excellence but also enhances the yacht’s performance in the water.
Advanced Construction Techniques
In terms of construction, the Viking 64 Convertible is at the forefront of marine engineering. The Viking design team uses advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to perfect the hull’s shape, conducting numerous virtual sea trials to optimize performance. The hull is constructed using an engineered composite of fiberglass fabrics and coring, which are vacuum-infused with vinylester resin. This process achieves a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, providing a strong yet lightweight structure that enhances the yacht’s agility and durability. The entire hull-to-deck structure is through-bolted every three inches and fiberglassed from inside to ensure a robust and unified build.
Engine Power and Capacity
The Viking 64 Convertible comes standard with twin MAN V12 1550CRM (1550 MHP) diesels, but several engine options are available ranging up to 2025 MHP powerplants. The first hull of the 64 Convertible will be outfitted with a pair of MTU Series 12V 2000 M96X engines providing 2002 MHP each, showcasing its capacity for high performance. This ensures boaters can enjoy powerful yet reliable motoring for both tournament fishing and leisurely leisure cruising.

Cockpit and Flybridge Functionality
The 180-square-foot cockpit of the Viking 64 Convertible is meticulously designed, benefiting from thousands of hours on the tournament trail. It offers a sleek, uncluttered area that maximizes freedom of movement and provides easy access to essential storage and service areas. Included as standard are flush rod holders, fresh and raw-water washdown systems, transom fish boxes with live wells, and side lockers for tag stick and gaff storage. The deck features power actuated access to the lazarette, which provides visibility to the optional Seakeeper 26 as well as steering, trim tabs, and pumps. An aluminum backing plate is incorporated into the cockpit sole, ready to accommodate a fighting chair or table installation.
Moreover, the flybridge mimics the clever layout of other new generation Vikings with a streamlined walk-around center console, including electronics displays and a custom helm pod with electronic controls. This makes the flybridge not only a navigation hub but also a comfortable area for leisure, with ample seating and storage, ensuring passengers enjoy both function and relaxation.
Luxurious Salon and Galley
Upon entry, the salon of the Viking 64 Convertible offers an inviting and open atmosphere facilitated by an electric-powered door. Inside, the blend of space is enhanced with horizontal natural walnut throughout, available in both hi-gloss and satin finishes. Features include a 50-inch pop-up HD TV at the home theater center, matched with a cozy L-shaped lounge for relaxation or social gatherings. Opposite, the dinette and galley are thoughtfully designed, with custom Amtico flooring, engineered stone countertops, and Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units. This layout makes the galley both aesthetically pleasing and functional for any food preparation needs.
Comfortable Accommodations Below Deck
Below deck, the Viking 64 Convertible offers four staterooms, all second-to-none in comfort and design. The master stateroom, located midship, and the forward stateroom feature queen-size beds with custom mattresses, HD TVs, and ensuite heads, ensuring top-tier accommodations for primary guests. Other cabins are equally equipped to offer comfort, with high-end finishes and practical layouts that utilize every inch of space efficiently.
Both heads come with luxury Amtico flooring, LED lighting, and upper and lower vanities—each featuring a curved walnut face and engineered stone countertops for a polished look. This blend of comfort and ingenuity in design allows for a relaxing retreat after a long day at sea.
