Viking Yachts 54 Convertible

The finest midsize convertible of her era, the second-generation Viking 54 Convertible (the original Viking 54C ran from 2008–12) is the culmination of years of Viking design and engineering leadership. The 54C is the tenth model in the 50- to 60-foot range that Viking has debuted in the last 20 years. In the Viking tradition, the 54C incorporates the signature features that have made their boats so popular including mezzanine seating, a gorgeous teak helm pod and walkaround console, and a cockpit designed for serious bluewater action. Making full use of the 17'8" beam, the 54's layout features an uninterrupted companionway that stretches from the starboard-side salon door all the way to the forepeak. The lounge area and peninsula galley (with twin barstools) are to port, while the dinette is to starboard. Below, the 54C offers a standard three-stateroom, two-head layout. The master is to port with a walkaround queen-sized berth, while a forepeak VIP is offered with a queen-sized berth or scissoring berths. High-gloss teak or walnut is offered for the 54's interior, and a satin finish is optional. MAN V12 1,550hp diesels power the 54C to a cruise speed in the mid 30-knot range with a top end of 40-plus.
