Convertible Perfection

(Fall 2017, New Gretna, New Jersey): Viking maintains its leadership in the sportfishing yacht industry with the Viking 68, a four-stateroom blue-water convertible known for unmatched performance, durable construction, luxury accommodations, and advanced propulsion and boat-control technologies. The 68 C is designed to excel as both a tournament-ready offshore runner and a cruising yacht, equipped with all the conveniences and technology expected from Viking.

The optional Seakeeper gyro stabilizer enhances comfort during fishing and cruising. The cockpit spans 176 square feet, allowing anglers to engage in battle while guests enjoy the air-conditioned observation mezzanine. With a proven hull shape and a 12.1-degree transom deadrise, this yacht delivers a smooth ride in rough seas, achieving a cruising speed of 35 knots and a top speed approaching 40-plus knots.
