The house and bridge are in the final stages of fairing. Fabrication is underway on the salon forward cabinetry, house and bridge seating and stateroom furnishings.

Hatteras Yachts GT70 Convertible

In this image you will see the passageway door from the engine room to crew quarters. The GT70 is the only model of the GT series with crew accommodations with a standard arrangement of one stateroom with two single berths, and an adjoining head. This is ample space for captain and crew. The GT70 engine room is not short on space with ceiling height of 6’5’ aft, 6’8” forward. With the size of this vessel, the main determining factor was the MTU Engine 16V200BHP. This additional horsepower is only available in MTU for increased speed as a direct result. The Caterpilliar C32 Acert 1900 BHP is the optional engine.

The GT70 can accommodate eight, with the addition of two crew members. The open galley and salon will offer plenty of comfortable seating options for large fishing groups or family gatherings, including the uniquely shaped dinette seating with more storage

With the cabin-top and window shaping now near completion, the 43′ hardtop express’ distinctive exterior lines are now readily visible. Within, our crew has been busy mocking up the salon and constructing the helm console while detailing goes into the head and galley.

Viking 92 Convertible

The first Viking 92 Enclosed Bridge Convertible has left the building! On schedule, Palm Beach Towers will install its custom tuna tower, while Atlantic Marine Electronics finishes up the navigation and entertainment systems. Engineering sea trials take place over the next several weeks in preparation of the yacht’s first showing during Viking Yacht’s 50th Anniversary gala celebration in Atlantic City, with customer sea trials that happened on September 10.

Viking 92 Convertible

The largest boat in Viking’s 50-year history, the Viking 92 Convertible is moving down Line 1. Hull 92101 will be an enclosed bridge model, and late last week, the bridge was installed on the deckhouse. While the images provide a sense of this achievement, to truly appreciate the magnitude of this development consider this: the enclosed bridge is 38 feet, 1 inch long. This means that the bridge itself is five feet longer than the first all-fiberglass boat Viking built in 1971, which was its 33 Convertible.

Winter Custom Yachts, 64′ Anita Jean

Built with the primary intention to explore and fish exotic destinations, this yacht is set up to be self-sufficient while traveling extensive distances under her own bottom. The bow will hold a custom flat boat built to travel around desolate flats and taxi back and forth to shore. To accommodate the extensive travel and fishing this vessel is designed for, the cockpit hosts an expansive mezzanine with ample custom freezer boxes and ice storage. The extended overhang in the cabin provides additional shade required when fishing in hot southern climates.
