Boat Review: Viking 82
Big and Quick
Big and Quick
True to tradition, Viking’s new 60-foot convertible incorporates all of the proven innovations, while moving forward to set new benchmarks in performance and style.
Enjoy the wide-open spaces
Power and Beauty to Match
Bill Healey, the patriarch of Viking Yachts, never ceases to impress me.
Perhaps the best word to sum up the Viking 74 is “utility.” You can do whatever you want with this boat.
All told, this 52 lives up to the Viking tradition of winning battles at sea. Expect to see plenty of them on the water next year.
After looking over Viking’s brand-new 50 Open, my only question is why anyone wouldn’t want a 50-foot express.
Another Step Toward Perfection
If tackle boxes were 55 feet long, they’d all come with one of these.
A Mid-Size Convertible Proves Vikings Commitment to Continuous Improvement
The Viking 50 Open is so well-designed for fishing that the only equipment you’ll need to bring are rods, reels and bait.
