The Viking 57 Convertible is a diesel-powered sportfishing yacht built in 1991, measuring 57 feet in length with an 18-foot beam. Powered by a single Detroit Diesel engine producing 1,300 horsepower, the boat reaches cruising speeds around 22 knots and tops out near 30 knots. The fiberglass hull is designed for offshore capability, combining stability and a dry ride across blue water conditions.
The cockpit spans 165 square feet and is purpose-built for fishing. It includes a molded tackle center, in-deck fish boxes, livewell, rod holders, freezer space, and a fighting chair. A transom door with gate provides easy access, and the wide layout keeps lines clear during active fishing. Direct stand-up engine room access simplifies maintenance.
The interior accommodates three staterooms and three heads, with a spacious master stateroom featuring an ensuite head. The salon includes an L-shaped sofa with hidden rod storage, wet bar, and entertainment area. The galley sits forward with full appliances suitable for extended voyages. Teak joinery, cedar-lined lockers, and natural light throughout give the interior a refined finish. Individual climate controls and custom storage support comfortable living aboard.
The boat's construction reflects Viking's engineering standards of that era, featuring advanced coring and wide-flange steel engine beds designed to minimize vibration. Some items require attention, as reflected in the overall condition.
