46 Open Yacht
A sliding contoured door leads below to the salon, galley and overnight accommodations. A choice of one or two staterooms creates great flexibility. The master stateroom is forward in both plans and provides a double island berth with stowage below, a maple-lined hanging locker, air conditioning, reading lights and a 19-inch flat screen television. The galley features a three-burner electric cooktop, microwave/convection oven, large capacity drawer style refrigeration, Corian counters and sink with built-in garbage disposal, and Amtico vinyl flooring. A choice of high gloss or satin teak finishes is offered.
Opposite the galley, the salon is fully air conditioned and has an L-shaped lounge with rod stowage underneath. Teak cabinetry, a 22-inch flat screen television, a stereo, carpeting and a teak high-low cocktail table are among the standard items.
In the alternate layout, the salon is slightly shortened to allow for the second stateroom with upper and lower berths. Both layouts include a single head, which is nicely appointed with Amtico flooring, a fiberglass shower stall, a one-piece molded Corian counter with a built-in sink, electric MSD, linen locker, and air conditioning.
In the engineroom, Viking’s engineering benchmarks are industry famous. Engine choices include the standard 900 mhp V8 MANs or 1100 mhp V10 MANs. The common rail diesels are mounted to powder-coated structural steel web frame beds that are secured to intermediate vacuum bagged composite bulkheads, which ensure drive train alignment for silky smooth trolling and minimal vibration. A 17.5 kW Onan generator supplies electrical power underway and a voltage stabilizer isolation transformer delivers clean dockside power. For clean, dry engine combustion air, there is a Delta T ventilation system with supply and discharge fans for proper fresh air supply and water intrusion suppression. The engineroom is painted in bright white Awlgrip for easier maintenance and all daily engine fluid checks are inboard for accessibility. A variety of options, including a tuna tower, outriggers, and a fiberglass swim platform allows infinite customization possibilities.
As with all Vikings, the 46 Open can be ordered with navigation, communication and entertainment systems provided by Atlantic Marine Electronics. Similarly, a tuna tower, drop-down electronics boxes and teaser reel compartments can be ordered through Palm Beach Towers. Both AME and PBT are Viking sister companies and their services allow the Viking 46 Open to be delivered turnkey ready.
In addition, Viking offers its owners the exclusive use of the Viking Service Center and the Viking International Yacht Center in, Riviera Beach, Florida. The Viking Yacht Company is the only boat manufacturer offering a factory trained staff at satellite locations for the convenience of its owners.
Family owned and operated, Viking is unique in the marine industry. Vertically integrated, virtually 90 percent of a Viking is manufactured in house. Viking even designs and builds its own molds using state-of-the-art five-axis profiler milling machines. Debt free, we answer only to ourselves and are able to deliver what is arguably the best riding, best performing convertible yachts in the world.
