For Sale

DESCRIPTION

The 206 square foot cockpit is thoughtfully arranged for anglers with plenty of stowage for gear, two large side-by-side bait freezers, and tackle cabinet with pull-out drawers in mezzanine level. Observation mezzanine features a starboard aft facing hinged lounge with cushions and storage underneath. Mezzanine is shaded by bridge deck overhang. Owners could opt for the additional comfort of air-conditioning. Cockpit has two drop-in deck storage boxes—one can be converted to a livewell, and a fishbox with pump-out on portside. A recessed refrigerated chill box is undermounted in mezzanine step. Gaff and accessory storage cabinets are under port and starboard gunwale. Cable TV and phone connections are in port gunwale cabinet—all neatly out of sight. Some other standard features include 4 Rupp flush mounted rod holders, transom mounted fishbox with drain (optionally plumbed as livewell) and walk-though transom door with lift gate—transom swim steps are at door.

Remote controlled cockpit speakers are tied into the salon entertainment system. Viking offered many optional selections and owner could upgrade equipment and amenities as desired. Many added a sturdy Palm Beach Towers tuna tower, Rupp outriggers with spreaders, 6-rod flybridge rail rocket launcher, Release Marine fighting chair, Eskimo ice chipper for cockpit usage and Miya Epoch electric teaser reels. Electronics were owner customizable also through Viking’s Atlantic Marine Electronics subsidiary.

The Viking 76 Convertible was offered as a standard open bridge version or optional Enclosed Bridge (EB) and an open Sky Bridge (SB) could be added to the enclosed bridge model, offering a combination of both. A Sky Bridge model was also offered with hardtop features like a pod-style helm console and two pedestal helm chairs for comfort. The open bridge is offered with standard set-up for tournament fishing. Helm console with raised electronics pod is set back with guest seating around a table in front. Helm features Moritz Octoplex touch screen control monitor for controlling all vessel systems and the VIPER steering system among standard navigation and communication electronics.

Amenities include a top loading freezer, refrigerated chill box for drinks and snacks, sink with spray head, stereo speakers tied into salon system, Murray helm chair, and two companion seats. Bridge is accessible via aft deck hatch and ladder from cockpit mezzanine. If optional Palm Beach Towers tuna tower was installed, access ladder would be from bridge aft deck through hatch in bridge hardtop for safe access.

The Enclosed Bridge is most comfortable for cruising and entertaining with a forward raised wraparound helm station, single Stidd pedestal helm chair with two flanking forward-facing companion seats, elevated L-shaped lounge with storage beneath and teak cocktail table, finished teak cabinetry and furniture, 32” flatscreen TV on lift in cabinet, stereo with CD player, refrigerator with ice maker, carpeting, and hose connection to central vacuum system.

A molded fiberglass aft facing seat with removable cushions and storage beneath is to starboard. Aft deck hatch with ladder leads to cockpit mezzanine below. A ladder from the aft deck through bridge hardtop hatch leads to Sky Bridge for safe access, if the 76 Convertible is an SB model.

As much as the cockpit and open bridge are about sport fishing, the interior living spaces are about extended cruising in luxurious comfort designed by renowned interior design firm, William Bale and Company. From the cockpit mezzanine steps, an electric sliding glass door opens to an elegantly appointed salon with open galley and dinette. The open bridge model features a day head just inside the salon to port. In the enclosed bridge version, the staircase leading up to bridge is next to the day head and salon furniture is configured accordingly.
