80 Viking Sportfish [Boat Review + Video]

Take an extensive tour of the 80 viking sportfish [set in my waves] in jupiter, florida with mike burke..

This article is a transcription of the 80 Viking video from Denison’s YouTube Channel . Tune in daily to discover the latest yacht video walkthroughs from the world’s largest yacht video collection. Watch the full video below:

Hi, my name is Mike Burke . I’m with Denison Yachting, and we’re aboard the SET IN MY WAVES , an 80 Viking here in Jupiter, Florida. We just got back in from an awesome sea trial where the boat hit 40 knots handled beautifully. There’s a few things I’d like to show you today, including this beautiful salon that we’re in, the massive cockpit going back and the four state rooms down below. This galley is so great for entertaining while you’re making dinner or hors d’oeuvres.

You’ve got people sitting at the bar, you’ve got people sitting at the salon and you actually have more space over there in the dinette. This boat is set up perfectly. If you want a cruise, you can sit back and enjoy the ride. If you’re a serious fishing guy and you need a fighting chair, we could put one in, it comes with a plate already there.

So it’s easy to mount, but you’re already set up with your live wells and your outriggers ready to go either way. One of my favorite things about this 80 Viking is the enclosed fly bridge. Later on, you’ll see the electronics, you’ll see the space. The greatest thing, or one of the greatest things about a big enclosed bridge boat like this is that the family can all be together. How many times have you been running your boat and everybody’s downstairs, but an enclosed bridge boat, you can come up here in the comfort of AC with no wind, no noise and enjoy a nice movie or watch NASCAR on one of the screens and everybody can spend their time together.

One of the spaces I look forward to showing you is the engine room. She’s powered with twin 2,600 horsepower MTU engines. She only has about 1,450 hours, has extended warranties and is ready to go, all updated with all of her services. Normally we would start on the outside, but we’re going to show you the spacious interior on this boat to let you know that you can either fish these boats or you can cruise them.

This boat is set up for cruising. With her 21-foot beam, she’s spacious inside, pop up TV over here. Storage underneath all these cabinets here and then of course, the staircase to the enclosed bridge. Another thing you find here below the stairs is an ice maker. This boat comes equipped with carpet runners throughout, covers for all the tea tables. This happens to be a high-low table. You could actually have dinner on, or you could use it as a cocktail table.

I’m going to take you into the forward part of the salon area, where we have a big dinette where we have seating for four here and we also have three bar stools over here. We also have a nice custom wood floor inside the galley and the dining area along with custom rod storage down below. We have two TVs, one on the wall, one in the salon there, along with the day head that’s right here. Outside the day head here, we have a very nice wine cooler.

Next to the wine cooler, we have a pantry, large amount of storage, and then this takes you right into the galley. This boat’s pretty unique in the sense that it’s actually got an oven. So if you like to cook, this could be the boat for you. It also has a dishwasher back here along with refrigerator freezers, all in the cabinets here.

Now that we’ve seen the salon and the galley, follow me down to the master state room. She’s full beam and very spacious. We’re here in the master state room where we have a full size king bed here with upgraded mattresses throughout. Over my shoulder here, you have a very nice large window, which gives you a lot of natural light.

It’s very spacious, nice walk around into the master head with vanity and shower. Come follow me forward to the cruise quarters on the starboard side. Here we have the cruise quarters with a nice upper and lower birth with storage. You have separate hanging closets for both the captain and the mate and going aft, you have a nice unsuited, large head and shower for the crew. And across the hall from the crew, we have our first VIP state room king size bed walk around with a hanging closet and storage on both sides.

There’s a reason why we started today’s walkthrough on the interior. This boat is a totally custom 80 Viking and the owner wanted specifically to have a large laundry room for the crew. In this space, we have full size washer and dryer along with a folding table, custom storage and hanging space. Following in to the fourth and final state room, the VIP.

Before we head outside, I’d love to show you the state room and the size and the storage. Over on the port side, you have a full length hanging closet. Above the bed, you have very nice storage that opens up to a skylight over the bed with storage underneath the bed and a large TV above you. Like all the other state rooms, this state room also has a large VIP head with a shower and custom flooring. Coming out of that air condition saline area, we’re moving into the cockpit.

The cockpit on this Viking’s broken down into two sections. You have the mezzanine area with the tables that can flip up and flip out of the way. Nice place to come out, have a cigar, have some lunch, maybe drink a cup of coffee, or if you’re fishing, you’re actually watching the bates from up here.

We also have refrigerated drink boxes with the ice chipper. Storage tackle center over here, access to the injury room over here, freezers over here, both left and right which is nice.

And then you move into the other part of the cockpit, the fishing part, two fish boxes here, there’s split with access to the Sea keeper gyro, which got upgraded to a 32, a year and a half ago. Very little time on it, works great. You come over here to this nice live well with the window in it, got a couple lights in it. So you can see your bay fish at night, or just sit back and enjoy the view. Lots of storage underneath both sides for your shimmies and your mops to keep everything out the way.  Nice and clean.

We touched on this earlier. This is engine room access conveniently located in the mezzanine floor. This is the area we’re going to check out next. On the motor yachts, you have your water tight door aft. On the Vikings, they all have the engine room door right here, which is a water tight door coming down the stairs from the mezzanine seating area.

And in the mechanical space itself, we have a pair of MTU, 2,600 horsepower engines currently with about 1,475 hours on it with one year of extended warranty, which you could add to up to 10 years. Forward, we have the membranes for the water makers. We have the engine room vents and all the way aft, we have a pair of Cummins generators, 29 kW each with about a thousand hours on them.

Now that we’ve finished up in the engine room, let’s go forward to the bow where we could talk about the toys, which is another great part of this boat. This 80 Viking has such a massive bow on it. That it’s able to take a 17-foot Dinghy or a nice flats boat or two jet skis, whatever you choose. It depends on your fun program. It also has a 2,200-pound davit that’s hydraulically left to right and up and down. The thing that completes this boat is having the Dinghy on the bow.

Should you want to go explore a little island or you want to run to the bar, you can lower the Dinghy over the side. It makes for great family fun and is a great reason to own a boat like this. Another thing to point out is the safety of this bow rail. This bow rail actually extends back towards the fly bridge house.

So when you’re lowering this Dinghy, it keeps people from falling off. And all the way forward on the bow, we have a large anchor locker here for fenders and a fresh water wash-down. This large bow pulpit makes it incredibly easy to drop the anchor.

I’ve already shown you the mezzanine and the mezzanine seating. I want you to see this large overhang to keep you in the shade with the air conditioning. I’m going to go upstairs and show you the fly bridge seating and overhang as well. I want to bring you up to one of my favorite spots on the boat. The view overlooking the cockpit is awesome. You have a nice seating area here with storage. You have the spreader lights up top and a nice overhang for some shade. I want to bring you over to the aft docking station where the captain runs the boat, to dock the boat or fish the boat.

This beautiful teak helm pod was an upgrade along with bow thruster buttons, right in the handles. Below this hatch, you have your hydraulic outriggers, both port and starboard so you can let your riggers out. You also have a garment GPS as well as start and stop engine MTU controls. And directly overhead of the wheel here, you have some teaser reels, US nine. They’re the biggest ones they make to pull a dredge, or pull whatever you might want to do as far as your fishing goes.

Wrapping up here, follow me back inside. We started with the interior and we’re going to finish with the interior. We’re here in the fly bridges. This 80 Viking going to show you the controls and the spaciousness of what a large enclosed fly bridge boat looks like. The enclosed fly bridge is broken down into two halves. The back half is for your guests or anyone that may want to sit and watch TV while the boat’s running. Up here doing 30 knots. There’s no wind, no noise, super quiet.

A lot of stores underneath the sofas. You have a set of refrigerators over here and a nice cocktail table finishes off the space. Also, this couch can be converted into a sleeper sofa. So if the four state rooms below aren’t enough and you need a little extra space, you can use this as a fifth stay room.

And the forward area of the enclosed bridge is where the captain runs the boat from. And this is where the captain monitors all the systems. This boat has a very intense, upgraded electronics package to the tune of $250,000. All garment electronics, you can control your ice chippers from here. You’ve got all your gauges FLR night vision and of course, a bath raster.

Thanks for joining me today on the walkthrough on this 80 Viking, SET IN MY WAVES. If you would like a private showing, please feel free to gimme a call. She’s sitting at the Bluffs in Jupiter, Florida.

How Much Does An 80 Foot Viking Cost?

Would the world's best professional basketball player of all time, one that relishes in competition, steer you wrong when it came to what sportfishing yacht you should buy? Michael Jordan has made headlines, since retiring from the NBA, in the world of competitive offshore fishing after purchasing the jaw-dropping Viking Yachts 80 . Because of his celebrity status he makes headlines every time he competes including when he landed a 442-pound Marlin in 2020 and then a winning 24-pound Mahi at the Big Rock Blue Marlin tournament.

The Viking 80, like Jordan, is at the pinnacle of achievement, superior in many ways to its peers. This sportfish superiority does not come with a hefty price tag though, as no corner was cut in construction or equipment choices. Viking Yachts is widely known for being 'simply the best'.

The base price of an 80-foot Viking is over $8 million with the CAT C-32A 1,925MHP base engine package. Upgrading to the larger MTU M96L 2,635mhp engines can add nearly $900,000 to the total cost of the yacht. Including additional options like Seakeeper gyros, Eskimo ice machines, water maker, and other equipment can bring the price even higher. "Even a used Viking 80 will list for between $7-$8 million," said Rich Lucas , Viking Brand Manager for SI Yachts.

Check out this Viking 80 Enclosed Bridge filmed by BoatTube at the Miami Boat Show:

Why is the Viking 80 so expensive? "A Viking sportfish is similar to a Rolls-Royce in terms of setting the standard for quality," continued Rich. "When you purchase a Viking, you know you are getting the most technologically advanced sportfish that's been constructed with the very best materials. There is no cost cutting and Viking has made a tremendous investment to have the top equipment available. That quality is reflected in the price of the boat."

The hull of the Viking 80 is created using a Baltek end-grain balsa wood that is resin-infused, Airex foam core with e-glass Carbon fiber hybrid laminates. The composite bulkheads are also all resin-infused. Even the fuel tanks are infused fiberglass with balsa coring on the sides that is then sealed to the hull with resin foam. The result of this process is a lighter boat (the displacement at standard fuel load is 150,188lbs.) that is structurally stronger, stiffer, and faster.

(Below: The Viking 80 is fast for its size and is able to reach speeds of over 40 knots.)

While its 216-square foot cockpit makes this an exciting sportfishing boat to compete in, the Viking 80 can also be enjoyed as a luxury cruising yacht. There are 5 cabins on this vessel, each beautifully appointed with high-gloss walnut joinery. The master suite is akin to your finest room at a 5-star resort and stretches the full 21' 4" beam of the yacht. Even the king-size bed lifts up using gas pistons, revealing a large area underneath for storage. Two of the 5 guest bedrooms feature queen-sized beds, while the other two cabins have bunks. All of the bedrooms have their own private bathroom.

When you're note rejuvenating in the bedrooms from a long day of cruising or fishing, the salon has all of the comforts of home. Considered the 'Great Room' of the yacht, the salon is bathed in high-gloss walnut cabinetry and furniture. There is a 65" HDTV that can be easily raised or lowered inside of its cabinet with the push of a button. From the leather furniture, to the incredible sound system, you may never want to leave the inside of your Viking.

As a new owner begins to add on options and equipment when building a Viking 80, there are inevitably going to be additional costs that can move the final price tag even higher. There are also some unique features that can be added to the boat when built that you may never even think, of such as a hidden electric safe under the master berth. Here are a list of just some of the options that can be added to the Viking 80 that will affect the price:

• Upgraded interior from walnut to a satin finish
• Air conditioning in the cockpit
• Seakeeper 35 Gyro Stabilization
• Custom hull color gelcoat
• Changing your 80 Convertible to an Enclosed Bridge
• 1,400 GPD water maker
• Eskimo ice machine
• ElectroSea centralized seawater system

And because Viking does semi-custom builds, they invite you to challenge them with any requests for specific needs you may have while designing your own Viking 80. You may be surprised as to what can be done
