Broker Overview

The 2019 Viking 80 Convertible, located in Jupiter, Florida, represents a prime opportunity for a serious sportfishing enthusiast or a discerning buyer seeking a high-performance, luxurious offshore platform. This 80-foot fiberglass yacht is powered by twin MTU V16 M96L engines, offering formidable speed and reliability, backed by an extended MTU warranty until November 2026 or 5900 hours, which is a significant value proposition. The recent SeaKeeper 35 replacement in August 2023 further enhances stability and comfort, making long runs or offshore fishing more enjoyable. Internally, the yacht boasts a five-stateroom, five-head layout, highlighted by a full-beam master, all finished with upgraded materials like Pier Oak Amtico flooring, high-gloss walnut, and Cambria Berwyn countertops. The attention to detail in the salon and galley, coupled with recent updates such as new carpet, dinette table, and serviced electronics, indicates a well-maintained vessel. While the asking price of $5,800,000 reflects its premium status and condition, the extensive list of recent maintenance, including shaft inspection and engine alignment, suggests a yacht ready for its next owner with minimal immediate capital expenditure. This Viking 80 is a compelling package for anyone looking for a turnkey, high-end sportfisher.

Expert Review

The Viking 80 Convertible is a benchmark in the large sportfish category, known for its robust construction, exceptional sea-keeping abilities, and impressive speed. This 2019 model, with its MTU V16 M96L power, offers a formidable combination of performance and reliability. The extended engine warranty is a critical factor, providing peace of mind for an asset of this caliber. Build quality is typical Viking: over-engineered and durable, designed for serious offshore work. In terms of sea-keeping, these boats are renowned for their dry ride and ability to handle rough conditions, making them excellent long-range cruisers and tournament contenders. Value for money at $5.8M for a 2019 model with these upgrades and warranty is strong, particularly given the current market for well-maintained, late-model sportfish. During a survey, pay close attention to the full service history of the SeaKeeper and other major systems. Inspect the engine room thoroughly, verifying the MTU warranty documentation and recent alignment work. Comparable alternatives would include Hatteras GT80 or Spencer Yachts of similar size, but the Viking 80 consistently holds its value due to brand reputation and performance.

Full Listing Description

Entering through an electronic sliding salon door, the salon easily takes your breath away. A Pier Oak Amtico flooring entrance joins luxurious wall-to wall carpet, with lined padding for sound absorption. Upgraded crown molding along with the walnut, high gloss finish on salon accents lends the space a certain sense of gravitas.

The huge galley features a Cambria Berwyn with Ogee Edge granite countertop with a three-stool serving bar forward and to port. A full-size U-shaped dinette to starboard sits atop extra rod stowage.

Accommodations are down below, of course, where the five-stateroom, five-head layout is highlighted by a generous full-beam amidships master that is awash with light thanks to two big windows to either side. Her en-suite head is customized to the max with gorgeous Cambria Berwyn flooring and countertop, mirrored ceiling, and one-piece custom frameless shower door.

Powered by 2,635-horsepower Tier 3 MTU Series 2000 V16 M96Ls that comfortably abide in an immaculate engine room with a full 7 feet of headroom, this boat soars.
