Some chase the thrill. Others chase the moments. Viking Yachts delivers both—the roar of the engines, the rush of the hunt, and the salt spray, balanced with quiet sunrises, laughter on deck, and the comfort of a yacht built for adventure and relaxation. Now, Viking takes that passion further with four all-new 50-foot models, including the highly anticipated Viking 50 Convertible, crafted for those who live for the chase but treasure the journey.

 


A Historic Announcement at the 2025 Miami Boat Show

At the Miami International Boat Show, Viking Yachts made waves by announcing four brand-new 50-foot models—each one designed to push the limits of sportfishing performance, comfort, and versatility.

Leading the charge is the highly anticipated 50 Convertible, making its world debut at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Close behind are the 50 Open, 50 Sport Coupe/Sport Tower, and 50 Billfish—each offering an exciting new option for sportfish enthusiasts.

“No one else in the industry can match our quality and versatility. “We have the best team of designers, engineers and boatbuilders in the industry.” says Viking President and CEO Pat Healey. And he’s right. Viking isn’t just introducing another boat—they’re expanding on a proven legacy.


A 50-Foot Viking for Every Sportfish Lover

Whether you’re chasing billfish offshore, running tournaments with your crew, or looking for a high-performance battlewagon that turns heads at the dock, Viking has a 50-foot model built just for you:
 
50 Convertible – The ultimate sportfish machine. A three-stateroom battlewagon designed for serious fishing and luxury cruising.
50 Open – A sleek express model that keeps you close to the action, featuring a command deck with a one-piece wraparound windshield and a hardtop.
50 Sport Coupe/Sport Tower – Built for those who crave both cruising and fishing, with a sleek command deck and an optional Palm Beach Towers tuna tower.
50 Billfish – The fourth—and largest—Billfish model, offering a nimble, owner-operator-friendly platform with tournament-winning performance.

No matter which model you choose, you’re getting decades of Viking innovation, world-class performance, and a hull designed to eat up rough seas while keeping you dry and comfortable.


The Viking 50 Convertible: A Battlewagon Built for Champions

The 50 Convertible represents the third generation of Viking’s legendary 50-foot sportfish yacht. With nearly 200 units delivered across its two previous generations, this model is built on a proven pedigree.
 
Flush foredeck, aggressive strakes, and recessed salon windows for a sleek yet muscular look.
Length-to-beam ratio optimized for speed, efficiency, and ride quality.
Standard 1000MHP MAN engines (with an optional 1200MHP upgrade) for serious power and maneuverability.
 
Viking’s previous 50 Convertible set the standard for performance, design, and fishability. Now, the new 50 Convertible builds on that legacy, delivering even more speed, agility, and innovation to dominate offshore waters like never before.


Flybridge: The Best Seat in the House

From the flybridge, captains command their domain with:
 
Streamlined walk-around center console for maximum visibility.
Dual 22-inch multifunction displays with a drop-down electronics box.
Integrated forward lounge with armrests, drink holders, and additional padded seating.
 
Whether scanning the horizon for tailing sails or calling the shots on a big blue marlin, every control is within reach.


Viking 50 Convertible Cockpit: Designed for the Serious Angler

A 131-square-foot cockpit built for offshore domination:
 
In-deck fish boxes (with optional refrigeration) to keep your catch fresh.
Transom live well/fish box for bait or additional storage.
Mezzanine seating with freezer and cooler storage for maximum convenience.
Toe-kick space and rounded coamings for all-day comfort.
Dedicated space for a Seakeeper 10 or 14 to keep things stable in any sea condition.
 
Tournament anglers will love the flush-mounted rod holders, transom door with lift gate, and easy-access tackle storage—all designed with Viking’s signature attention to detail.


Luxury Below Deck: Where Comfort Meets Performance

Step inside, and you’re met with Viking’s signature blend of elegance and functionality.
 
L-shaped lounge and raised dinette with storage for 7-foot rods.
43-inch HD TV for relaxing after a long day on the water.
Fully equipped peninsula-style galley with stainless steel sink, Miele cooktop, and under-counter refrigeration.
Three-stateroom layout, including a master with a walkaround queen berth and ensuite head.
Spacious forward stateroom with a choice of queen berth or crossover bunks.
Starboard guest stateroom with upper and lower bunks—perfect for tournament teams or family trips.

 
It’s a sportfishing yacht built for hardcore anglers and their families alike.


Performance That Leaves the Competition in Its Wake

The Viking 50 Convertible isn’t just fast—it’s built to dominate.
 
Standard 1000MHP or optional 1200MHP MAN engines for serious speed.
Optimus Electronic Power Steering for effortless handling.
Seakeeper stabilization option to keep you steady in any sea condition.
Resin-infused hull and lightweight composite construction for industry-leading strength.
 
And with Atlantic Marine Electronics providing custom navigation, communication, and fish-finding systems, you’ll be armed with the latest technology to find, hook, and land your next trophy fish.
