Broker Overview

This 2015 Viking 70 Convertible, named "Smooth Ride," presents a compelling opportunity for a serious sportfishing enthusiast or a discerning buyer seeking a high-performance cruising platform.

The five-stateroom, five-head layout provides significant accommodation, making it suitable for extended trips with a large crew or multiple guests. A key upgrade is the newly installed Seakeeper 26, which significantly enhances stability and comfort, a critical factor for offshore performance and guest enjoyment. Coupled with updated Garmin electronics and a Furuno Omni Sonar, this yacht is well-equipped for serious fishing and navigation.

Expert Review

The Viking 70 Convertible is a purpose-built machine, designed to tackle serious seas and deliver competitive performance. Build quality is robust, characterized by a solid fiberglass hull and meticulous construction that holds up well over time. Sea-keeping is excellent, particularly with the added benefit of the newly installed Seakeeper 26, which will significantly reduce roll and enhance comfort in a chop. For a buyer looking for a high-performance sportfisher with substantial accommodations, this model offers strong value. When surveying, pay close attention to engine service records, as the MTU M94s are powerful but require diligent maintenance. Inspect all systems, particularly the newer Seakeeper installation, for proper integration and function. Comparable alternatives might include Hatteras or Spencer yachts of similar vintage and size, but the Viking 70 often stands out for its blend of speed, luxury, and dedicated fishing features.
