2020 Viking 68' _{(20.73 m)} 68 Convertible

MAIN DESCRIPTION

As a dominating force in the sport fishing and cruising yacht industry, Viking delivers and this 68' Convertible "Snowbird" is no exception. Designed and engineered to function equally as well as a tournament-ready offshore runner and a cruising yacht with all the conveniences and technology you would expect from Viking, this 68' C takes the lead. Aboard this multi-purpose vessel, anglers can battle it out on a spacious cockpit while guests comfortably view from the lounge style, air conditioned observation mezzanine.

This model vessel is highly optioned and impeccably engineered for cruising comfort. Running on Viking's proven hull shape with a 12.1 degree transom dead rise, she offers a smooth ride in rough seas with a 35-knot cruising speed and a top end approaching 40-plus knots, notable of Viking's unparalleled performance.

With a stand-up engine room, the 68 Convertible features Viking's cutting edge powered-coated web-frame, structural steel engine beds mounted on dedicated transversals for vibration-free, engine and drive train alignment. Standard fuel capacity is 2,060 gallons in Viking fiberglass fuel tanks nestled in the hull and fiberglassed in place. The tanks mirror the hull bottom to maximize draw and range and in so doing also contributes to hull strength. 

*Included on this 68' Viking is a 2019 17' Maverick flats boat customized to match the "Snowbird".

COCKPIT

Observation mezzanine with port aft facing lounge seating with Sunbrella-covered cushions, hinged seats, tackle cabinet with pullout drawers and bait freezer. Standard amenities in the cockpit also include a one-piece anodized aluminum ladder to the bridge, rounded coamings, recessed stainless-steel hardware, a stereo and speakers, a large lazarette hatch, fresh and saltwater washdown systems, a refrigerated chill box in the salon entrance step so you can stay close to the action throughout the day, a walk-through transom door with lift gate, a molded nonslip fiberglass sole with aluminum plate reinforcement for fighting chair placement, flush rod holders, tackle and gaff stowage, in-deck fishwell with a macerator pump discharge and stowage compartments for gear and an available circulating livewell. For dockside versatility, port and starboard Glendinning Cablemaster shore power cords are provided.

FLYBRIDGE

The open flybridge sports a center console helm providing superb visibility to all quarters. Electronic trolling valves allow maximum control on the trolling grounds. Fishing rods stow neatly under port and starboard bench seats, while electronics nest safely beneath a clear acrylic panel on centerline, which keeps them dry in any weather yet always within easy view. Forward of the helm is an additional freezer and bench seat. The forward control station has all the necessary control switches, lighted instrument and engines controls along with VIPER (Viking Independent Programmable Electro-hydraulic Rudder) steering system. A second station is located on the flying bridge overhang for excellent visibility when docking or fishing.

Accommodations

The master stateroom with walk-around queen size berth is almost the full beam of the boat, which means you have the space for convenient storage areas such as his-and-her hanging lockers and credenzas. The forward stateroom also has a walk-around queen size berth that lifts to reveal a cavernous stowage compartment below. The starboard and crew staterooms feature upper and lower berths and each is served with a private head and stall shower. The crew quarters are discretely located, accessed via a separate set of steps off the companionway and has access directly into engine room.

SALON & GALLEY

Step inside the deckhouse and enter a world of luxury, comfort, convenience and smart storage solutions. The four-stateroom, four-head with additional day head (salon) arrangement is sure to please the most fastidious yachtsman as well as the most particular tournament fishermen. A high-gloss walnut finish decorates the entire interior, and the salon is a blueprint of intelligent form and function, utilizing the wide beam to its maximum potential.

Open to the salon, the 68 C’s walk-around island galley maximizes space while serving as a prime socializing area that’s loaded with modern conveniences, including Sub-Zero under- counter refrigeration, and pull-out drawers on aircraft-type slide mechanisms that lock in place for safe keeping. Opposite the galley, a large dinette easily accommodates four adults for dinner and additional bar-stool seating is available at the island galley counter.

ENGINE ROOM

The stand-up engine room features Viking’s leading-edge powder-coated web-frame structural-steel engine beds, which are mounted on dedicated transversals for vibration-free, engine and drive train alignment. Standard fuel capacity is 2,060 gallons in Viking-made fiberglass fuel tanks, which are nestled in the hull and fiberglassed into place. The tanks mirror the hull bottom to maximize draw and range and in so doing also contribute to hull strength.
