Manufacturer Provided Description

The five-stateroom yacht proves again Viking is the leading builder of the world’s biggest convertible sportfishing yachts. The Viking Yacht Company is proud to announce its latest large sportfishing yacht – the 82 Convertible. The five-stateroom, six-head world-traveler builds upon the tremendous success of the Viking 80.

“We’ve taken a boat that has been proclaimed by the sportfishing community as the most successful 80-foot sportfish boat ever and improved upon it,” says Viking President and CEO Pat Healey. “We’ve been able to design and build a better boat by using our experiences on multiple Viking 80 demo boats and collecting a tremendous amount of feedback from owners, captains and mates. And like every new model, the 82 is going to be bad-ass – another industry leader.”

The Viking Yacht Company, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, has delivered more than 110 convertibles over 80 feet. The first-generation 82 Convertible was introduced in 2009 during some of the toughest economic times in recent history, and still 27 boats were sold.

Design and Performance

With a length overall of nearly 83 feet, the Viking 82 presents a long, sleek and strong profile. The 82 features exterior stylistic refinements of the 90, including:

• Deckhouse window and hull portlights with chamfered edges


• Latest hull-side engineroom vent design

The 82’s performance was optimized through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The Viking 82 will also be offered with the Advanced Viking Propulsion System (AVPS), which utilizes struts and rudders with modified shapes that minimize hydrodynamic resistance, improving performance. Performance levels are expected to be in the same range as the latest Viking 80s – 42 knots at full load with a cruise of 36 knots.

Cockpit and Flybridge

The 82 provides more cockpit space and a larger mezzanine that allows for increased storage. The cockpit is built with everything needed for fishing, including:

• Transom door and lift gate


• Transom fishbox/live well


• Full-length in-deck fish boxes with split lids

The flybridge features a walkaround center console with a full-width helm platform that accommodates three Release Marine helm chairs. The console holds four 17-inch multifunction displays (MFD) and offers excellent access to all instrumentation.

Accommodations

The interior features a horizontal-grain natural walnut throughout, available in satin or gloss finishes. The salon includes:

• Wraparound sofa with storage


• Walnut hi-lo table


• Large port-side HDTV

• Two under-counter refrigerators
