Used Viking 58 Convertible
For Sale

DESCRIPTION

Designed to be ideal for an owner-operator or a part-time crew, the 58C benefits from Viking’s decades of engineering and advances in technology, without reducing ease of operation, maintenance, and access to systems. Three feet longer than the 55C, and refinements to the interior layout have benefitted the 58C’s cockpit and salon, giving the cockpit 14 sq ft more area than the 55C. The 165 sq ft cockpit is the largest in the 58 Convertible’s class and is loaded with the standard features expected of a new Viking tournament-ready convertible sportfishing yacht.

The efficiently arranged cockpit features an insulated removable fishbox recessed in the full length of cockpit’s starboard side deck. Two in-deck storage boxes are on portside; the forward unit can be set-up as a livewell. The centerline hatch to the lazarette provides access to an option that has become more popular in recent years—a Seakeeper SK9 or SK16, along with convenient access to steering and drain pumps.

Standard cockpit equipment includes flush mounted rod holders, walk-through transom door with lift gate, a side locker for gaffs, freshwater and seawater washdowns, rounded coamings, and more. A laminated mounting plate for installing a fighting chair, pedestal rocket launcher, or table is built into the cockpit sole. There is plenty of walkaround space behind a full-size fighting chair (optional) and comfortable seating in the shaded observation mezzanine. Mezzanine amenities include Sunbrella cushions and an armrest with drink holders. The portside seat section has a large freezer underneath and a cooler box built into the step below. The centerline seat section lifts to provide access to the gleaming Awlgrip white engine room. A refrigerated cooler is built into the step to salon door. A tackle cabinet with drawers in on the mezzanine starboard side, with an insulated storage box in step below it. As always, owners could select from Viking’s options or other preferences to add or upgrade equipment and amenities to their personal style of fishing or usage.

From the cockpit mezzanine, an anodized aluminum ladder leads up to the flybridge, which features a rounder, efficient walkaround center console style helm with raised teak helm pod and stainless-steel steering wheel. Single lever controls are on either side as are recessed radio boxes with split hinged lids. Electronics are recessed into the upper console and protected by clear acrylic lids. An optional hardtop drop-down box can hold additional electronics. Custom electronics are provided by Atlantic Marine Electronics. Another Viking subsidiary, Palm Beach Towers, can build and install custom towers and more. Starboard and portside lounges and a 2-person forward console seat with built-in drink holders provide ample guest seating, along with a starboard side aft-facing jump seat. Viking has added a freezer and refrigerated drink box in forward starboard and port sides of bridge—no need for a loose cooler. Bridge can be enclosed for weather protection with a Costa Clear zippered enclosure.

The entrance to the wide-open salon, galley, dinette area is through the electronic sliding pocket door on starboard side of cockpit. The galley and dinette positions have been reversed from the 55C layout for greater efficiencies in the interior space. The updated styling is fluid and sleek, with no hard edges or corners. Beautiful high gloss (satin finish is an option) teak or walnut interior joinery creates an elegant, inviting ambiance to relax, dine, and socialize with three distinct seating areas. The 56 Convertible’s U-shaped galley is on portside, forward of the salon’s large L-shaped lounge and mappa burl hi-lo cocktail table. The galley features engineered stone countertops and an angled raised bar with two upholstered bar stools at the inboard end of peninsula counter. The undermounted stainless steel sink, 4-burner electric cooktop, and microwave/convection oven are clustered for convenience and efficiency. SubZero undermounted deep drawer refrigerator and freezer units offer plenty of cold storage for longer cruises and tournaments.

Electrical distribution panels are conveniently located in the salon and galley. For relaxation, the starboard aft cabinetry holds a 50” HDTV on an electric riser and entertainment center with surround sound. Forward on starboard side, the C-shaped dinette with seating for four, follows the flowing lines of the salon cabinetry, for a streamlined companionway from salon entry to belowdecks forepeak stateroom, visually enlarging the interior living space.

Both the 55C and new 58C offer Viking’s standard 3-stateroom/2-head convertible layout for maximum flexibility—cruising or on the tournament circuit. The new 58 Convertible has the master suite positioned on portside (opposite of the 55C) and features an athwartship queen berth with greater walkaround space and larger maple-lined hanging lockers. The HDTV is mounted on the bulkhead opposite the bed. The master stateroom has an ensuite head with large, enclosed shower. The forward guest stateroom can have a centerline queen berth or crossover berths. A Bomar hatch with OceanAir screen shade system is overhead. Amenities include a maple-lined hanging locker, and cabinet and drawer storage. The starboard stateroom features side-by-side bunks and a maple-lined hanging locker with drawer storage. Both guest staterooms can have an optional HDTV installed. Master and guest/day heads have Amtico flooring, electric heads, engineered stone countertops, enclosed shower stalls, storage in lower vanity, and a mirrored medicine cabinet above.

The free-flowing spacious interior is designed for maximum efficiency, comfort, and privacy in elegant luxury whether family cruising or hardcore fishing.

Viking’s options are twin MAN V12 diesels in 1,550 hp, 1,650 hp, or 1,900 hp sizes and the new twin 1,622 hp MTU 10V 2000 M96L diesels. Range with the MTUs exceeds 400 NM at cruise speed (per Viking test data).
