King fisher: Inside the Viking 93 sportfish yacht
A 28.5 metre with the DNA of a high-performance sportfisher is a welcome addition to Viking’s born-again Motor Yacht line, says Kate Lardy...
Sportfishers are the powerhouses of the yachting world, built to withstand the strenuous demands of chasing blue water behemoths in the Gulf Stream. So imagine what happens if you take the performance and quality of these battleaxes and apply it to cruising motor yachts. Viking , the prolific builder of sportfishers on New Jersey’s Bass River in the US, is doing just that.
“No one builds more enclosed sportfish yachts than we do,” says Viking’s president Pat Healey, so it wasn’t a huge leap when he took the decision four years ago to re-enter the cruising yacht market, which is currently seeing strong growth in the US. “Especially with our customers,” he says. “As the baby boomers grow and age, they want to stay boating but they may not fish as hard as they did.”
About half the yachts launched in the yard’s reborn Motor Yacht line – since the company unveiled the first 24 metre 75MY in 2014 – have been sold to Viking clients seeking a more leisurely on-the-water experience. Viking is further investing in this market, recently launching the biggest yacht it has built in its 54-year history , the 28.5 metre 93 Motor Yacht.
Its raison d’être differs from a sportfisher but the styling is pure Viking – its swept-back superstructure recalling the lines of convertibles is a deliberate choice, says Chris Critchett of Michael Peters Yacht Design , which works with Viking for the styling, space planning and hull design of all of its motor yachts. And like all Vikings, which Healey personally tests, its design ethos seems to be bigger is better. “As an American yacht company we try to build things large,” says Christopher Landry, director of communications. “Americans like things big… saloons, decks, refrigerators, televisions.”
What better place is there to showcase this than on the company’s flagship? “With 93ft, you don’t feel that your living experience on board is compromised by the fact that you’re [trying] to fit everything on the boat,” says Critchett. For instance, starting on the main deck aft, bountiful U-shaped seating wraps around the transom in lieu of a more common bench. The accompanying twin tables (a good set-up for access) unfold to create one large banquet table.
In the country kitchen-style galley forward, a supersized 2.1 metre Sub-Zero refrigerator takes pride of place. The galley itself is comfortably commodious, with a congenial raised dinette under the forward windows augmented by four stools flanking an island bar.
The master suite, with private entrance, is full beam, with a king-sized bed facing a 65-inch television. A walk-in wardrobe and spacious ensuite with dual basins share the full width behind the bed, buffering the bedroom from the crew quarters for three that lie on the other side of the bulkhead.
The only room in the boat that seems small is the starboard-side bunk cabin in the guest quarters, which are accessed via a separate staircase. But this diminutive cabin brings the total number of suites on board to an impressive five, and it is quite suitable for children. The three other guest cabins here are of pleasant dimensions and include big showers. As for communal guest spaces, both the main and bridge decks feature opening glass doors leading to the aft decks, which make for big indoor-outdoor spaces on both levels.
A bar on the bridge deck sits right at this transition point, with three stools facing outward. When the powered window recedes into the bar as the adjacent bi-folding door opens, those sitting at the bar will feel like they are outside while being completely sheltered from the elements.
The yard builds semi-custom boats, so there is room for variation. “It’s not an open canvas but the canvas is pretty good,” Healey says. “Obviously bulkheads cannot be moved.” And there are options in terms of engine power. The first 93 matches the yacht’s big dimensions with big power from MTU. “The performance of this boat is another separation point for us,” Landry says. The 93’s top speed exceeds 27 knots, thanks to the twin 1,945hp 12 cylinder MTUs. Cruise speed is between 21 and 24 knots.
The hull bottom contributes, of course. “We have spent $48.5 million on R&D, design, engineering and tooling of all of our new models in the last four years,” Healey says. “If we didn’t spend it, we wouldn’t have the product that we have today.” Designers and builders put the 93’s new hull through its paces in what Critchett describes as “a very rough water sea trial where a professional crew probably wouldn’t have taken out their guests. We specifically wanted a day like that, and it was a great day. It’s amazing what a 93ft, couple hundred thousand pound boat will do; it is extremely comfortable.”
The engine room is a particular point of pride for the builder. The machinery room gleams with Awlgrip finish, and there’s easy walkaround access for all maintenance. But it’s what you don’t see at first glance that really sets it apart. “It’s the quality of the equipment, components and installation. Everything is done properly for easy serviceability. It’s 100 per cent done right,” Healey says.
On top of the layout that caters to Americans’ penchant for size, there are a number of extra features on this model that add to the experience. One of the most prominent is the balcony. Hydraulic sliding glass doors open on the starboard side of the main saloon next to the dining area, and the bulwark unfolds, also hydraulically, bringing the outdoors in.
A sunroof over the helm a level above accomplishes the same thing. With both the roof and aft door open, the bridge deck saloon gets plenty of fresh air and is at one with the aft deck. This deck is dedicated to entertaining, as the tender is stowed below in a garage behind the transom door.
The foredeck hosts another al fresco lounge including a sofa that can be sheltered with removable carbon fibre poles. These are stored, along with the balcony’s rails, under the adjacent sunpad, which is one huge storage space. Forward of this is a skylight above the VIP suite’s queen-sized bed.
The interior, built in-house, is as meticulously done as you might expect, featuring walnut, engineered wood from Avalon, thick carpeting, electrically powered curtains, and a variety of stone finishes from Caesarstone. There’s no rattling, drawers close decisively and doors latch precisely into place.
As Healey says, hardy sportfisher DNA can be found everywhere, “from the bottom of the boat and the engine room, to the quality of cabinetry, the exterior styling and the enclosed bridge. Remember, we (also) built motor yachts for 30 years. We took a hiatus for about 13 years; now we’re back!”
The next step in the series is already well in the works. The 100 will be an extended 93 with a fishing cockpit – a nice hybrid of Viking’s sportfishing and Motor Yacht lines.

Driven by its mantra to build a better boat every day, here comes Viking again with another example of excellence in boatbuilding design, engineering and innovation. The legendary New Jersey boatbuilder is proud to announce the all-new Viking 90 Convertible, a yacht that will redefine the capabilities of the luxury convertible sportfisher and become the new benchmark in the genre.
“We’ve taken all the incredible qualities of the 92 – the interior layout, the accommodations, the style, the amenities – and merged them with greater performance, technology and versatility,” says Viking President and CEO Pat Healey. “The 92 was the Bentley. This is the Ferrari.”
Three Models The 90’s profile represents a synthesis of design traits from the 92, 80 and other modern Viking sportfishing yachts, as well as subtle motor yacht influences. “We designed the 90 to be as sleek as possible, stressing a low profile and clean lines,” says Viking Design Manager David Wilson. “We also brought several refinements to the exterior that enhance that lean, sexy look.” Carefully placed feature lines, deckhouse windows and portlights with chamfered edges and Viking’s signature hull-side vents are just of few of the 90’s aesthetic high points.
Viking will offer three models of the 90 (Open Bridge, Enclosed Bridge and Sky Bridge), all utilizing a spacious six-stateroom accommodation plan highlighted by a full-beam master suite. “We feel the open bridge 90 is going to be a huge hit, particularly with our 80 owners,” says Pat. “We’re providing a larger Viking that fishes just as well as their 80 and has the same type of performance and nimble maneuverability.”
The Open and Enclosed Bridge 90 can be outfitted with a tuna tower from Palm Beach Towers (PBT), and all three models can be equipped with a custom electronics, communications and entertainment package from Atlantic Marine Electronics (AME). Both Viking subsidiaries, AME and PBT ensure turnkey delivery.
Looking Aft The cockpit and dual mezzanine stress a sense of togetherness with a focus aft – where the action is. From the salon, a 40-inch-wide electric-powered single door opens with a touch of a button. The upper mezzanine’s port side is home to an L-shaped aft-facing lounge with available air-conditioned backrest and a teak table. On the starboard side, there’s a versatile cooking and refreshment hub (with an additional aft-facing seat) that can be personalized to the owner’s liking with a grill and icemaker or refrigerator.
A large lounge on the lower mezzanine looks upon the cockpit, with its shapely fiberglass module holding storage underneath and tackle drawers on each side. The mezzanine provides centerline engine access to the crew quarters and engineroom, and is also home to an oversized freezer (port) and two refrigerated boxes (starboard).
The cockpit measures 224 square feet, with a 203-gallon transom fishbox/live well and a pair of full-length 103-gallon insulated in-deck fishboxes. Access to the Seakeeper 35 is provided by a single powered hatch on centerline, a watertight design introduced with recent Viking 80 demonstrator boats, and the cockpit sole is built with reinforcement for a fighting chair, rocket launcher or table.
Living Large Viking owners and enthusiasts will be enamored with the accommodations of the new Viking 90. The combination of interior volume, a flowing open layout and several design nuances create a fresh soothing ambiance throughout the vast living spaces. Stepping into the salon, a new horizontal grain natural walnut interior greets you with warmth and style. Interior doors featuring both horizontal and vertical grains as well as ebony inlays add to the visual appeal. Guests will appreciate the spacious lounge that begins at the salon door and wraps around the port side. A starboard-side entertainment center features a 65-inch pop-up HD TV. Forward, the large starboard wraparound galley is open to a raised U-shaped dinette to port (with rod storage below).
The Viking 90 offers five guest staterooms, each with its own private head and shower, crew quarters with immediate access to the engine room, a pantry with an additional crew berth and a day head. Spanning the 23-foot, 2-inch beam, the owner’s suite boasts a king walkaround bed, a walk-in closet, a dressing table, a lounge area, a full-size credenza under a bulkhead-mounted 65-inch HD TV and his-and-hers private facilities with separate access.
Miami 2023 Debut “Constantly looking to the future, we embarked more than a year ago on this design,” explains Pat. “It came at a time when international regulations would be taking effect that required Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) in the engine rooms of yachts with a ‘load line length’ greater than 24 meters.
“Understanding that suitable engine and SCR technology for this market was unavailable, the U.S. Coast Guard announced in March a three-year suspension of the regulations in North America. But the development of the 90, which does not require SCR, was already well underway and in 15 months we’ll proudly present the next flagship of the Viking sportfishing fleet.”
The Viking 90 will make her world premiere at the 2023 Miami Yacht Show.

Viking Yachts’ Revolutionary New Sport-Fish and Motoryacht Models are Turning Heads Around the Globe
- By Yachting Staff
- Updated: January 7, 2019
The Viking Yacht Company is not in the business of doing anything second-rate. There is no compromising on quality. Period.
So, when Viking decided to re-enter the motoryacht segment, not only would it be chasing the big competitors, it also would be playing catch-up on 17 years of motoryacht innovations and advancements. Fortunately, this is not a big stretch for Viking. The company is constantly pushing the envelope on its legendary sport-fish vessels , looking to build a better boat every day, with continuous improvements in everything from hull design to engine-room layout to cabinetry materials to electrical systems. It would be no different with its motoryachts.
Viking last delivered a motoryacht — the 60 Cockpit Sport Yacht — in 2001, and it was a big part of a motoryacht line that achieved tremendous success from the mid-80s to 2001. Viking no doubt could do it again, but should it? The answer from leadership was a resounding yes. Just like with its battle-tested sport-fish boats, Viking recognized the fact that in today’s marketplace, there is strong demand for high-quality, American-made motoryachts and sport-fish/motoryacht hybrids with an emphasis on style, performance, comfort, luxury and engineering excellence.And Viking’s production setup gives it a clear advantage in something as complex as starting a new line. Ninety percent of the parts and pieces are made on site. And with subsidiaries such as Atlantic Marine Electronics and Palm Beach Towers providing crucial components, all are turnkey ready.
When it comes to selling these masterpieces, Viking relies on its industry-leading network of distributors, none more so than its top dealer and undisputed sales leader, HMY Yacht Sales.
HMY has sold the legendary brand for 26 years and is the leader in Viking sales. In 2018, HMY will sell more than 100 new and pre-owned Vikings, driven by its expertise, close relationships with Viking and the largest network of Viking customers compared to any other firm.
HMY has more Viking Yachts experts on staff than any other firm, including several who were captains with Viking, and many more who regularly fish Viking sport-fish yachts in some of the biggest tournaments around the world.
As Viking boldly re-enters the motoryacht market and continues to redefine the sport-fish market, HMY is uniquely positioned to educate buyers about the newest Viking creations and help them find the perfect vessel for their lifestyle and tastes.
Here’s a brief look at four of Viking’s latest motoryachts and sport-fishers — 93MY, 92 Enclosed Bridge, 82 Cockpit MY and 75MY.
Viking Yachts 93-Foot Motoryacht
The newest addition to Viking’s motoryacht fleet is also the biggest. In fact, it’s the largest Viking ever built, marking the successful completion of a two-and-a-half-year journey to build the largest-ever yacht since the company was founded in 1964, and continuing the Viking tradition of building revolutionary boats.
The tri-deck motoryacht combines the performance of a convertible sport-fisher with the luxurious accommodations of a motoryacht. The 93MY is fast without sacrificing seafaring distance. Powered with twin state-of-the-art 1,945 hp MTU diesels, it tops out from 26.5 to 27.5 knots and cruises from 21 to 24 knots, with a range exceeding 400 nautical miles at cruising speeds.
And it’s big, accommodating and comfortable. With a 24-foot-4-inch beam, the 93 holds five staterooms and seven heads, two expansive salons and aft decks, a huge forward galley, 12 televisions, storage for a tender, and crew quarters for three.
The exterior profile is both sleek and timeless, and perhaps most importantly, it looks and feels like a Viking. The impressive helm offers outstanding visibility.
On the main deck, remarkable stainless-steel-framed electrically activated sliding glass doors lead you to the equally outstanding salon, where you’ll find a leather-appointed lounge, a cocktail table, occasional chairs and a formal dining table that seats eight.
Viking Yachts 92-Foot Enclosed Bridge Sport-fisher
With its two-level mezzanine and 238-square-foot tournament-ready cockpit with fighting chair, the Viking Yachts 92-foot Enclosed Bridge thrives as both a luxury cruising yacht and bluewater sport-fishing convertible, seamlessly combining the expected luxurious accommodations of a premier motoryacht with the guile and hardcore fishing setup of Viking’s best battlewagons.
Yes, the enclosed bridge is visually striking, but it’s also amazingly functional, combining all the visibility benefits of an elevated control station with the weather protection and comfort of a Viking enclosed bridge. Owners have the option of choosing from either a sky-bridge arrangement or a tower.
The sky-bridge command station shares many of the design traits of Viking’s open flybridge convertibles, such as the walkaround center-console with raised teak helm pod, and recessed and protected areas for multifunction displays, engine and steering controls, and electronics controllers. The enclosed bridge has a forward wraparound console that includes a Stidd helm seat and flanking companion seating.
Once inside this beauty, you’ll instantly understand why Viking describes this spacious interior as a “showpiece of elegance and luxury.” The 24-foot beam allows the salon to transform into a stately, expansive living room. The L-shaped galley offers plenty of storage for provisions, with two walk-in pantries, while a formal dining area can accommodate up to eight guests.
Below, Viking masterfully arranged five en-suite staterooms plus a day head. The full-beam master suite features a king-size walkaround bed, a walk-in closet, a dressing table and his-and-hers private facilities. Crew quarters are aft, with access from the cockpit.
Viking Yachts 82-Foot Cockpit Motoryacht
Consider the bar raised again for luxury and seagoing excellence. The follow-up and sistership to the 75MY, the Viking Yachts 82-foot Cockpit motoryacht is offered with either an open bridge for more outdoor enjoyment or an enclosed bridge for climate control.
The 82CPMY effortlessly transitions from a luxurious cruiser to a bluewater battlewagon, creating the ideal platform for tournament fishing one day and heading on a three-week vacation the next. It features the cockpit space of a large convertible (108 square feet), along with plenty of room for relaxing, maximized by the versatile deck design that features an observation mezzanine, aft-deck dinette with U-shaped settee, and a 9-foot-wide lounge molded into the mezzanine that features loads of amenities.
The open-bridge layout is all about connecting with the open ocean, friends and family, with a centerline helm forward flanked with casual seating areas. Behind the helm, a family-size dinette, wet bar with refrigeration, sink and electric grill allow the party to start and stay on the bridge if desired. Farther aft, there is a sun pad, room for lounge chairs and a teak-planked staircase to the lower aft deck.
The climate-controlled enclosed bridge adds the convenience of a second salon, with plush seating, an entertainment center and the utility of a fully protected upper command station. A sliding glass door opens to the aft deck, with a wet bar and room for lounges.
The stylish main deck keeps the entertaining rolling, whether outdoors or in, with forward and aft deck lounges and 8 tons of chilled-water air conditioning providing a climate-controlled environment where a lavish walnut salon, formal and casual dining areas, and a world-class galley set a festive mood. Standard amenities in the low-profile open galley include engineered-stone countertops, under-counter refrigerator and freezer units, high-gloss walnut cabinetry and a starboard-side pantry. Viking also offers a closed-galley design.
Below deck, four luxuriously appointed en-suite staterooms exquisitely balance elegance and practicality. Natural light streams in through the large hull-side windows and foredeck skylight.
Atlantic Marine Electronics outfitted the 82 with custom-designed navigation and entertainment systems, meaning it’s turnkey ready for its new owner.
Viking Yachts 75-Foot Motoryacht
As much as Viking’s announcement that it was re-entering the motoryacht market sent tremors through the yachting industry, the unveiling of the breathtaking, speedy Viking Yachts 75MY was met with 10.0-magnitude earthquake shock waves.
Recognizing the strong demand for a high-quality, American-made motoryacht with an emphasis on style and performance, Viking answered by introducing a true masterpiece.
Like its sport-fishing brethren’s pedigree, the 75MY is a performance-oriented design, with a sleek, curvy exterior profile and other style cues taken from Viking convertibles, including the signature molded feature lines on the hull and superstructure, teardrop salon-window design and more. This sport-fishing heritage is one of the key differentiators between a Viking motoryacht and the competition.
Its new owners will be blown away by the 75’s performance, maneuverability and seagoing prowess. The hull features a brand-new design that maximizes space and power to accommodate the optional twin Caterpillar C32-A engines pushing a smooth 1,925 hp each. This level of power and range makes it possible to travel even farther and longer in Viking’s most luxurious models.
In addition to the incomparable high-end performance, the 75 includes everything you’d expect from a luxury motoryacht, including four en-suite staterooms (including a full-beam master suite), crew quarters with private access, a fantastic helm and bridge layout, open galley and dining area, Seakeeper stabilizer, shallow draft, sky roof and an engine-room layout that is unsurpassed. The gorgeous tri-level layout showcases a smart fusion of design and space for comfort and practicality. Spacious accommodations provide family and guests with an undeniably elegant experience.
