Broker Overview

The 2019 Viking 80 Skybridge, "PARTY OF FIVE," presents a compelling opportunity for serious sportfishing enthusiasts and those seeking a high-performance luxury yacht. This vessel, designed by a four-time Viking owner, showcases a meticulous build with custom salon and galley configurations, emphasizing both functionality and comfort. Powered by twin MTU 2000 V16 M96L engines, she is equipped with a Dynamic Positioning System for precise station-keeping. A significant feature is the additional 600-gallon fuel tank, bringing the total capacity to 3200 gallons, extending her offshore range considerably. While the listing states "Stabilizers: None" and "SeaKeeper: No" in the top-level data, the 'Notable Features' section explicitly lists a "SeaKeeper SK35." We will proceed with the confirmation of the SK35. This, combined with an Omni Sonar and a 2022 Highfield 17' Tender, positions her as a well-outfitted, turn-key package. The Viking 80 Skybridge is renowned for its blue-water performance, offering a dry and stable ride even in challenging conditions, making her a formidable contender in the large sportfish market.

Considerations

Fuel consumption at higher speeds can be substantial, typical for this class and power.
The sheer size and complexity require professional maintenance and a skilled captain.
Docking in tight marinas requires attention due to its 80-foot length and lack of bow/stern thrusters.

These are broker observations, not deal-breakers. Every yacht has trade-offs — a good broker helps you weigh them.

Expert Review

The Viking 80 Skybridge is a benchmark in the large sportfish category, known for its robust fiberglass construction and exceptional sea-keeping capabilities. This specific 2019 model, with its MTU 2000 V16 M96L power package, offers impressive speed and reliability. The inclusion of a SeaKeeper SK35 and an extended fuel capacity significantly enhances its long-range cruising and offshore fishing appeal. When surveying, pay close attention to the condition of the MTU engines, ensuring all service records are current.

Compared to alternatives like Hatteras or Spencer in this size range, Viking typically offers a strong blend of production efficiency with custom-level finishes. The asking price of $7,495,000 for a 2019 model with these features represents a competitive value in today's market, especially considering the added equipment and custom touches.

With 12.5 degrees of transom deadrise and a beam carried well aft, she offers outstanding balance, buoyancy, and interior volume, easily accommodating additional fuel and a gyro stabilizer for the smoothest ride at sea. Boat designed conceived and executed by a four time Viking owner with custom salon and galley. The result is a sensibly equipped, operator friendly thoroughbred, with many custom touches, redundant systems, and ease of maintenance features.

Engineered for durability and ease of operation, she features chilled-water air conditioning, a Delta-T engine room ventilation system, integrated fire suppression, and Viking’s VIPER electro-hydraulic steering for unmatched maneuverability at all speeds.

Five beautifully appointed staterooms include a full-beam master with king berth and private head, while each guest stateroom offers comfort and privacy. The flybridge is a command center for both fishing and entertaining, with a center-console helm, excellent visibility, ample seating, rod storage, and an optional climate-controlled enclosure.
