Overview

Viking’s legendary mastery of the sportfishing convertible is embodied in the impeccable 72 Convertible. Family-owned since 1964, when brothers Bill and Bob Healey opened a modest Bass River facility near Atlantic City with a single-minded pledge to build a better boat every day, the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence now thrives in an ultra‑modern plant that designs and manufactures nearly 90 percent of every Viking yacht from 42 to 92 feet. The standard Open Bridge accommodations welcome you with four staterooms each with its own private head, a J‑shaped sofa in the salon, a U‑shaped galley crowned by custom granite countertops, elegant crown molding on the upper cabinetry, and a large walk‑in pantry forward; the forward stateroom is appointed with a queen berth, with an optional layout offering crossover berths. Choose the Enclosed Bridge and you mirror the Open Bridge plan while adding a graceful circular staircase to the enclosed bridge helm, transforming it into a second salon with an L‑shaped sofa, cocktail table, refrigeration, and an entertainment center; an open galley, an L‑shaped sofa, and crossover berths in the forward stateroom are also available, and a day head comes standard on both versions.

Tower

The tower is executed by Palm Beach Towers in polished pipe with a commanding 9'6" gap, culminating in a molded‑top tuna tower with polished pipe. It carries four antennas with stand‑offs and a three‑sided track on the perimeter rail, an array of eight hardtop lights featuring Lumitec Spectrum multi‑color LEDs recessed in fiberglass, and a bullet‑style radar pod (#973) with sliding door, bracket, and runs for teaser reels, complemented by an electric fold‑down electronics box. Molded port, starboard, and stern navigation lights join a molded standing platform with an integrated box, while a Rigid Industries 50" RDS LED light bar with diffused lenses is molded aft and a Rigid Industries 20" RDS LED light bar with diffused lenses is molded forward. The molded tower sunshade integrates internal tracks and welded antenna mounts; its frame and underside are finished in satin black. Comfort and utility are enhanced by a Rybo‑style cushion on the belly ring, a LOPO LED 5 MI masthead light mounted on the sunshade, and a molded fiberglass SAT TV dome antenna mount (#708), together with fresh‑water washdown in the tower. The 63" control box features a flush‑mounted compass, recessed electronics boxes with lids, a satin‑black top, and an LED anchor light installed beneath; controls and steering are fully electronic with the MTU Blue Vision System for the M96 Series (no LCD on readout) and electric steering, and a U‑shaped rail encircles the ladder. Fishability soars with Rupp “Big Riggs” 47' HD outriggers with four spreaders and Bridge Release, installed with Rupp rollers in lieu of eyebolts, a heavy‑duty Rupp center rigger, and a Rupp hydraulic outrigger system laid out with hydraulic locks, plus four teaser line collars on the outriggers. The bridge rail is three‑sided and double aft, leg‑to‑leg to the outer legs, fitted with eight polished rod holders welded to the aft bridge rail in PBT style and six polished rod holders on the aft legs, three per side, also PBT style. Two MIYA EPOCH Super US9 electric teaser reels with high‑speed 24 V motors are integrated, and comfort is ensured by a three‑sided EZ2CY enclosure to the end of the helm, track‑to‑track, with a PVC flangeless enclosure track mounted on the bridge cap and three air vents in the forward top panel. Night operations are elevated by two Lumitec Spectrum multi‑color LED lights recessed in the tower sunshade, four more recessed in the platform, six tri‑color lights—two in the tower sunshade and four in the platform—plus eight recessed lights, two spreader lights, an anchor/navigation light, and fully bonded tower wiring. A pair of Rupp Marine halyard grommets is mounted in the gunwales, a control box cover is provided, and two flag staffs are welded beneath the platform. A molded round wedge forward on the hardtop readies the FLIR camera, while the hardtop, platform, and tower sunshade are upgraded to carbon‑fiber construction; a Rigid 50" spot‑style LED light bar is also molded into the front of the platform.

Bridge

At the helm, Release Marine Trillion Series helm chairs upholstered in Ultraleather (grey) face a grey teak helm pod with single‑lever controls, a compass set into the recessed electronics box lid, and a watermaker remote panel at hand. Daily convenience is ensured by a freezer box and a refrigerated drink box—insulated with an extra one inch for superior thermal performance—plus a dedicated fresh‑water washdown feed for the tower with shutoff, and an aft port bench seat for relaxed vantage. Infrastructure refinements include a port on the bridge for the Willy Vac neatly positioned below, and a comprehensive upgrade to the Release Marine Trillion Series helm seating in Ultraleather.

Electronics

The helm is comprehensively outfitted with a Garmin GMR2536 XHD3 25 kW radar with 6' array, three Garmin GPSMAP 9219 plotters each with a 19" display, and an overhead‑mounted Garmin GPSMAP 8612 preloaded with Coastal Charts, supported by a Garmin GXM54 weather antenna and a Garmin AIS 800 transceiver. Sonar intelligence is formidable with two Garmin GSD 28 sounders, an Airmar CM599LM CHIRP transducer, and a Furuno CSH81 85 kHz 600 mm omni sonar with sonar tube and remote control. Precision guidance comes via the Garmin Reactor 40 Corepack autopilot with GHC, while communications are handled by an Icom M510BB VHF with mic, an Icom 195 B VHF, and a Comrod 16' VHF antenna. Entertainment and audio fidelity are delivered by a Fusion MS‑RA 770 Apollo Series stereo with Apple AirPlay, four JL Marine 8.8" white coax speakers powered by a JL Marine MV400 four‑channel amplifier, two JL Marine 7.7" white coax speakers, two JL Marine M6 8" white subwoofers, and two James Loudspeakers. Connectivity and awareness extend with the Starlink Flat High Performance Maritime package, four Gost wide‑angle 1080p mini‑ball cameras with three covering the engine room and cockpit, a FLIR M364C color thermal camera system, and KVH TracVision UHD7 satellite TV.

Cockpit

The tournament‑level cockpit is anchored by a mezzanine with a Seakeeper Gyro 26 finished in a ceramic coat and a Cruisair “Cool Breeze” mezzanine air system, plus a refrigerated port mezzanine undermounted step box. Teak decks and teak covering boards set the tone, while a Cablemaster, crushed ice machine, and a solid transom coaming with fish box elevate function. Storage lockers tuck beneath port and starboard coamings, tri‑color lights illuminate the aft deck overhang, and a Release Marine Trillion Series fighting chair in Ultraleather (grey) stands ready under a Costa cockpit sunshade with poles and a matching Costa cockpit cover. Practical refinements include a circulation fan in the lazarette, a grey faux‑teak transom and toe rail, RGBW lighting under the cockpit, in‑transom livewell lights, and plumbing to convert the transom box into a glass‑front livewell; supply and install fittings and plumbing for one on‑deck livewell, with four lights in the transom livewell, and a cockpit grill. Further enhancements include installing Delta T circulation fans in the lazarette, gelcoating the transom livewell to match the hull in Carolina Grey, additional fiberglass fairing in the lazarette, and an aft dryout pump in the lazarette.

Deck & hull

The exterior presents a Custom Carolina Grey hull color, with freshwater washdown in the anchor locker, low‑profile cleats for a clean sheer, DRSA lights in the lazarette, and Murray lights installed in the anchor locker.

Engines & mechanical

Power is delivered by MTU 16V2000M96L engines rated at 2635 hp, turning through custom CJR‑designed aligned struts with twisted rudders and guided by Seastar power steering. Ship’s service is assured by two Onan 29 kW generators, 24 V fuel priming pumps, Spot Zero Double Pass, a Headhunter fresh‑water pump supplemented by a second Headhunter Mach 5 pump, a 1400 GPO watermaker, and a Willy Vac. The machinery space is refined with rope lighting under the engines—RGBW rope lighting specified—three fuel tanks, Electrosea pumps with Electrosea strainers in place of standard CSWS, and an air compressor 110 V. Further detailing includes an Awlgrip exhaust surge tube, a valance installed to conceal wiring on the forward bulkhead, fiberglass valances to cover wires beneath the air boxes, and a sea rail fitted on the outboard side of the shelf below the mezzanine to keep gear secure. Practical readiness continues with a backup fuel transfer pump plumbed in parallel, an added Willy Vac pickup with float and a switch to the lazarette with on/off control at the engine‑room entrance, and a hose connection at the manifold for AC compressors to be flushed with fresh water.

Salon

The salon welcomes with a cocktail table and an L‑shaped sofa set over Amtico flooring at the entry, protected by a full canvas carpet runner, all framed by wood valances with Oceanair electric blinds. An electric salon door glides open to reveal thoughtful stowage including a linen closet and a pantry entrance widened as much as possible, while entertainment is handled by a TV complemented by an additional TV above the dinette.
