Broker Overview
This 2024 Viking 72 Skybridge presents a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a virtually new, highly specified sportfishing yacht. The Skybridge configuration offers the best of both worlds: the protection and comfort of an enclosed bridge, coupled with the visibility and open-air experience of a traditional flybridge. Power is delivered by twin Caterpillar C32B engines, a robust and reliable choice, offering excellent performance for a vessel of this size. The inclusion of a Seakeeper gyro SK 26, still under warranty, significantly enhances comfort and stability, whether at anchor or underway. The Furuno Omni full scanning Sonar is a serious advantage for competitive fishing. With a unique 5-stateroom layout, this 72-footer provides exceptional accommodation capacity, setting it apart from many in its class. The teak deck and mezzanine, combined with the Stars and Stripes gel coat, contribute to a premium aesthetic. This vessel is lightly used, loaded with transferable warranties, and represents a turn-key solution for serious offshore endeavors.

Considerations
Fuel consumption is substantial, commensurate with a vessel of this size and power.
The sheer size and complexity require professional maintenance and operation.
While versatile, the Skybridge configuration adds height, which can be a consideration for some bridge clearances.
These are broker observations, not deal-breakers. Every yacht has trade-offs — a good broker helps you weigh them.

Expert Review
The Viking 72 is a highly respected platform in the sportfishing world, known for its robust build quality, exceptional seakeeping, and offshore capability. This particular 2024 Skybridge model, with its C32B power, offers a compelling package. Viking's fiberglass construction is proven, designed to handle demanding conditions. The Skybridge adds a layer of versatility that many competitive anglers and cruisers appreciate. When surveying, pay close attention to the engine room for any signs of premature wear, though with a 2024 model, this should be minimal. Verify all electronics, particularly the Furuno Omni sonar, are fully functional. The Seakeeper warranty is a significant value add. Comparables would include Hatteras or Spencer yachts of similar size, but the Viking 72 Skybridge holds its own with a strong resale market and a reputation for performance and luxury. This is a top-tier vessel designed for serious use.
