58 Convertible

The Viking 58 is an updated version of the Viking 57 Convertible (1989–91) with a sharper entry, additional bow flare, and a redesigned transom. For the passionate angler, the 58’s unrivaled speed and range made her the ultimate performance convertible. For the family that travels to far-off places, luxurious accommodations made her a prestigious cruising yacht. The hull retains the same wide 18-foot beam as her predecessor which accounts for the spacious interior and cockpit dimensions. Viking employed several three-stateroom galley-up layouts in the 58C during her decade-long production run, each with an amidships owner’s suite and three full heads with separate stall showers. The sprawling 168 square-foot cockpit includes a transom door, in-deck fish box, a molded tackle center and direct engine room access. A popular Enclosed Bridge model with salon access to the upper helm became available in 1995. Updates in 1997 included restyled frameless windows and a new extended flybridge. MAN 1,200hp (or Cat 1,400hp) diesels cruise at 28–30 knots and top out in the low 30s. One of Viking Yachts most successful models, 110 of these first-generation 58Cs were built.
