Broker Overview

This 2023 Viking 72 Convertible, named "Free Spool," represents a prime opportunity for a serious buyer seeking a top-tier sportfish yacht. Located in the highly desirable fishing grounds of Los Suenos, Costa Rica, this vessel is practically new and exceptionally well-equipped. The upgraded twin MTU Series 2000 V16 M96L engines are a significant highlight, offering robust performance, and crucially, come with an extended service contract (ESC) until December 2027 or 3,400 hours, with the option to extend further. This provides substantial peace of mind regarding propulsion. The inclusion of a Seakeeper SK26, also under warranty until December 2026, ensures superior stability and comfort, a critical factor for offshore endeavors. For the avid angler, the Furuno Omni Full Color Sonar, refrigerated cockpit fish box, and dual cockpit ice makers are invaluable assets. The four-stateroom, five-head layout, finished in gloss walnut, provides luxurious accommodations for extended trips or entertaining. While it lacks bow thrusters, the Viking's inherent maneuverability and the Seakeeper's stabilization mitigate this for most experienced captains. This is a turn-key vessel, ready for immediate use, and the owner is open to trades, which adds flexibility to the acquisition. Considering its age, equipment, and warranty coverage, it presents a compelling value proposition in the high-performance sportfish market.

Considerations

Expert Review

The Viking 72 Convertible is a benchmark in the sportfish category, renowned for its robust fiberglass construction, excellent seakeeping abilities, and impressive speed. This 2023 model, with its upgraded MTU M96L engines, delivers significant power and reliability. The inclusion of a Seakeeper SK26 dramatically enhances comfort offshore, making long runs more enjoyable. For a buyer, the extended MTU service contract is a major value-add, mitigating potential high-cost engine concerns for years. When surveying, particular attention should be paid to the condition of the engine room given its high-performance nature, though a 2023 model should show minimal wear. Ensure all systems related to the Furuno Omni Sonar and Seakeeper are fully operational and documented. Comparables might include similar-sized convertibles from Hatteras or Spencer, but Viking's reputation for build quality and resale value is consistently strong. This vessel offers an excellent balance of luxury, performance, and fishing utility, making it a sound investment.
