There’s something about Vikings that are badass. When you see a sportfish cutting through the water with that deep V hull, you know it’s game on.
Viking Yachts was founded by brothers Bob and Bill Healey in 1964 when they bought Peterson-Viking Builders, a small New Jersey builder of wooden sportfishing boats. Those humble beginnings led Viking Yachts to become a leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production with over 4,000 Viking sportfish and motor yachts delivered. Viking’s highly regarded reputation is rooted in its commitment to producing 90 percent of the boat in-house.
Sportfish range in size from 92 to 43 feet and are the ideal boats for fishing of all levels. Here are 7 Viking sportfish yachts under 80 feet, currently for sale with Denison Yachting.

61′ Viking 2003
Everyone loves a glow up, and this 61′ Viking is one of the most upgraded Viking 61’s ever built. NO COMPROMISES went through an extensive 2012 refit to give her the tools onboard for long-distance cruising or hardcore fishing. Because of her upgrades, she’s a rare Viking with unique features, including a sky bridge, tuna tubes, live well, and factory mezzanine with an air-conditioned cockpit. Captains can run this boat from the sky bridge with twin Miya-Epoch electric teaser reels and a drop-down box with the navigation equipment. She’s transformed into a hardcore fishing boat that can win tournaments.
61′ Viking 2002
What do you say to the captain as you unhook the lines? GOOD TO GO, a 61′ Viking 2002, is a distinct-looking sportfish. Her sky bridge design is complemented by the custom arch installed by the original owner. This Viking model offers the best of both worlds: an enclosed bridge for comfortable cruising in any conditions and an open bridge above for maximum visibility when docking, fishing, or enjoying life on the water. A 3 stateroom, 3 head layout is set up for casual entertaining and living. Prepare the catch of the day in her fully equipped galley with a 4 burner cooktop, large sink, oven, exhaust fan, and plenty of storage space.

55′ Viking 2000
