Used Viking 55 Convertible Yachts for Sale

A legendary yacht, the first-generation Viking 55's blend of powerful lines and excellent performance made her a sportfishing superstar. One of Viking's all-time best-selling models, the first-generation Viking 55 Convertible out-competed everything in her class following her introduction in 1998. A total of 111 were built over the next six years, the most ever produced in that size range until then. The ultimate tournament sportfishing boat of her day, the 55 is large enough to take on rough weather yet agile enough for a couple to handle. Inside, the salon's designer furnishings, large windows and full 6'8" headroom create a remarkably open ambiance. The layout features an L-shaped leather sofa and teak high/low table to port, a full entertainment center with flat screen TV opposite, and a U-shaped galley and booth dinette forward. There are three staterooms and two full heads below including an amidships master with walkaround queen to port and a VIP stateroom with queen berth—or crossover berths—forward. The third stateroom has over/under single berths. The Viking 55's vast 153 square foot cockpit is equipped with a bait prep center, top-loading freezer, two large in-deck fish boxes, and (optional) teak covering boards. The flybridge features Viking’s signature wraparound helm console and single lever controls. An all-new Viking 55 Convertible was introduced in 2013. MAN 1,300hp diesels cruise at 32 knots and reach a top speed north of 35 knots.

INTERIOR

The spacious three-stateroom interior of the 55 Convertible begins with an opulent open plan salon with designer fabrics and handcrafted teak cabinetry.

COCKPIT

With 153 square feet of open deck space, landing a fish will become a matter of routine. A five-drawer tackle cabinet, top loading freezer and a fishbox are standard.

A midsize convertible with a heavyweight pedigree, the second-generation Viking 55 was bred for bluewater fishing.

The dominant sportfishing yacht in her class for several years, the Viking 55 Convertible followed in the acclaimed footsteps of the original Viking 55 Convertible built in 1998–2004. Sleek and sporty with a huge cockpit and luxurious accommodations, the 55C is a competitive fishing machine and an ideal family cruiser. Entering from the cockpit, an electric sliding door opens to an expansive main salon with an L-shaped leather sofa to port and the dinette just forward. The starboard-side galley with Amtico flooring and two barstools at the counter was available in either an island or peninsula configuration. Below, the three-stateroom layout has the master suite to starboard and a twin-berth guest cabin to port. The forward VIP stateroom was offered with a walkaround island berth or angled over/under berths. A laundry center is accessed from a companionway door. A mezzanine deck with lounge seating overlooks the vast 151 square foot cockpit complete with two in-deck fish boxes (or livewells), two freezers, a drink box and copious storage. An extended flybridge overhang provides shade on sunny days. Twin 1,550hp MAN V12 diesels cruise at 35–36 knots (40+ top). 

INTERIOR

The same attention to detail given to the 55’s construction and fishability can be found in the richly appointed three-stateroom, two head interior.

FLYBRIDGE

The center console helm is the perfect command station with 360 degree visibility, built-in electronics stowage above, and more stowage below.
