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.

80 Viking Salon

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.

80 Viking Galley

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.

80 Viking Master Stateroom

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.

80 Viking VIP Stateroom

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.

80 Viking VIP Stateroom

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.

80 Viking Cockpit

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.

80 Viking Engine Room

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.

80 Viking Bow

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.

80 Viking Flybridge

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.

80 Viking Control Station

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.

Success Comes Standard

Viking Yachts, Viking 80, Sportfishing

During the past 20-plus years, I’ve reviewed many of the sport-fishermen that have slipped down the ways at the Viking facility in New Gretna, New Jersey. I have even been on the production line of some of those very boats. I reported on the advances in technology and building techniques that have allowed Viking CEO Patrick Healey and his designers, technicians, workers, installers, captains, and sales and support staff to live up to the Viking mantra: building a better boat every day. Proving the point anew is the builder’s Viking 80C.

To be sure, there’s beauty in this beast, and it is obvious to the eye and the senses as she comes into view. She bears all the hallmarks of her 92 Enclosed Bridge big sister, starting with a wonderfully symmetrical profile topped off by a skyscraper-like tower, built by Viking’s own Palm Beach Towers.

Immediately noticeable are her sharp entry, proud bow and foredeck, well-proportioned house, striking black mask, low-slung 216-square-foot cockpit and curved transom with eye-catching tumblehome in the corners. “One of the things we do on all our boats, right up through the 92, is to figure out how best to use the space by looking at the previous one,” says Ryan Higgins, Viking’s corporate captain. That philosophy leads to constant evolution in aspects such as cockpit ergonomics, interior stowage and especially engine-room layout.

This yacht’s engine room is well laid out, even with the big, optional, 2,635 hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L diesels that were installed on our test boat. (Twin 1,915 hp Cat C32 ACERTs are standard.) Plenty of headroom (6 feet 4 inches on centerline), total access to all maintenance areas and equipment, refrigerator-white Awlgrip finish and places for all the redundant systems (including a pair of 29 kW Onan gensets and two centralized sea-water pumps) are just some of the features found here. “It comes from all the members of our design teams actually getting out on the boats and using them as they are meant to be used,” Higgins says.

Viking Yachts, Viking 80, Sportfishing

It might seem like a small point, but I noticed that the sitting height on the lower mezzanine gives the crew perfect sight lines aft, to either side or while right behind the burly Release Marine fighting chair. A forward-facing curve on the mezzanine’s edge provides a bit more space behind the chair too.

The business end of the 80C has stowage under each gunwale together with an oil X-Change-R system with quick connects, drop-in deck boxes, a dedicated compartment for a Seakeeper 26 gyro, transom and in-sole livewells, Eskimo shaved-ice makers, chill boxes, four stainless-steel bait trays, a refrigerated step box and an upper mezzanine bench with more stowage underneath. And yes, the mezzanine is air-conditioned from above.

“Laying out these bigger boats has become more and more custom for us,” Higgins says. “With this boat, and the 92, each one is different. And as long as the synergy between the owner and the factory is planned well in advance, there is enough leeway to accommodate their needs.”

The interior layout is given equal weight, with the portside galley forward, turned stern-to-bow instead of the usual athwartships position. Past the starboard dinette — with its rod stowage drawer below — and down the stairs, a companionway leads to the staterooms. “We introduced this layout on the 92, and it went over so well that we decided to offer it here,” Higgins says.

Viking Yachts, Viking 80, Sportfishing

The salon has a C-shaped sofa to port with stowage below each section, as well as space for three guests to stretch out on a long run. Just as I entered the electric sliding door from the cockpit, there was a day-head to starboard. (On the 80 Enclosed Bridge model, the head will move forward of the dinette.) This part of the salon also has a stowage console with a 60-inch TV.

“As far as A/V equipment, we’re running a [universal remote control] system from any remote in whichever stateroom you are in,” Higgins says. “You can pull up navigation equipment, plotters, sounders, radar and cameras, as well as controlling all the lighting and the Sirius radio and weather.” In addition, the 80C has Dometic’s new Smart Touch Integrated Intelligence Control system, allowing onboard or off-site smartphone or tablet control of the watermaker, refrigeration, air conditioning and any other Dometic component.

The space just forward of the galley has a bunk room, which can be an office, extra pantry or rod and tackle stowage. “Hull No. 4 put a full-size, side-by-side washer and dryer in here, with lots of shelving space,” Higgins says.

Viking Yachts, Viking 80, Sportfishing

A five-stateroom, five-head layout belowdecks includes a full-beam master, a queen-berth VIP forward to port, a pair of bunk staterooms to starboard and, fully forward, a forepeak stateroom. All are spacious, with headroom averaging between 6 feet 4 inches and 6 feet 7 inches, plus all the stowage needed for extended time away from home.

Topsides, the bridge is well laid out, with clean sight lines forward and aft. Because of an elevated helm platform, views of the bow are unobstructed, even while guests are gathered in the seating area.

The helm itself is big enough to hold an array of displays under a glass cover. Many operations are controlled by easy-to-reach, soft-touch buttons, all within an arm’s length to either side. The Dometic STIIC touchscreen and the Carling Technologies OctoPlex system, which controls all the breakers on the boat, are readily accessible, along with management of the FLIR cameras, Viking VIPER independent rudder steering system, Seakeeper gyro, fire systems and more.

Viking Yachts, Viking 80, Sportfishing

“I can control just about every system on the boat from here,” Higgins says. And, as with everywhere aboard the 80C, this space has plenty of stowage, along with refrigerated drink boxes and freezers.

I finished my tour and Higgins hit the starters. It was time to leave the dock from the Viking Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida. Underway, the 80C delivered pure Viking excitement and performance.

Thanks to weight-saving techniques throughout the boat — including a Kevlar-infused hull, carbon-fiber laminate in the deckhouse and hardtop, and a smoother running bottom with strut cones and many of the pickups flush-mounted — this 145,461-pound battlewagon moved through the water at 41-plus knots at her top end, with a comfortable 2,100 rpm cruise of 35.2 knots. She carved precise turns at those 35-knot speeds and backed down with nimbleness, assurance and control as the electric tabs automatically retracted. I had the feeling of hitting the throttles and letting raw power take over as she jumped out of the hole. Once you get your hands on the wheel, it’s hard to let go.

As a portent of positive things to come, and alongside some hefty weed lines, we sighted no fewer than three large baitballs breaking on top and a slew of cutting sailfish rounding up their food. They were sure signs the future is bright for the Viking 80C.

ABOUT THE 80 Convertible

The Viking 80C is an 80-foot convertible sportfishing yacht with a flybridge that was launched by the New Jersey-located boat building firm in 2016. One of the larger yachts in the open convertible range, the 80C impresses with high-performance capabilities, an aggressively styled profile with a super-fine bow, and the sort of deluxe bill-fishing equipment that tournament competitors demand. Yet the 80C is not just geared up for chasing record-breaking marlin, but also features the level of comfort, luxury and space that makes it a great option for family cruising, too. The Viking 80 Enclosed Bridge offers the comfort of a climate-controlled bridge and helm station.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Displacement 145,461 lbs.
  • Engine Manufacturer CAT or MTU
  • Fuel Capacity 2,600 gallons

This yacht comes equipped with a bespoke tuna tower fitted by Viking Yachts subsidiary Palm Beach Towers for elevated piloting, angling and reconnaissance with long-distance, 360-degree views. Sloping aluminum ladders lead down to an expansive flybridge that features plenty of relaxation space including a forward dining sofa with a teak cocktail table, a pair of curved chaise-longues fitted against the sides of the bridge, as well as plenty of storage space for rods and wet-bar facilities including a drinks cooler, a freezer and a sink. The bridge features Viking’s signature walk-around helm station with a teak helm pod, three Stidd or Release Marine helm chairs, and instrumentation installed by Atlantic Marine Electronics featuring controls and display monitors from the likes of Garmin, Octoplex and Blue Vision.

On the main deck the 216 square-foot aft cockpit is a teak-lined space that has been fine-tuned to provide the ultimate fishing experience. A transom door and lift gate, a freezer, an Eskimo ice-chipper, tackle storage, flush rod holders, a live well, a pair of fish boxes and a floor plate for a fighting chair or rocket launchers are just some of the amenities out here. There is also a split mezzanine level hosting a four-seater sofa and a chilled drinks cabinet for when even the most energetic fishers require a spot of rest.

An electric sliding glass door leads from aft cockpit to internal cockpit and welcomes you into a luxurious and tastefully appointed space designed by naval stylist William Bales. There is a 7-seater hook-shaped leather sofa to port surrounding a centerpiece coffee table and a pair of armchairs, and plenty of cabinetry in satin-finished walnut, as well as a day-head, to starboard. Moving forward you will find a U-shaped dinette sofa surrounding a breakfast table, sitting across from a walk-in galley with country kitchen dimensions. The galley boasts granite worktops, a serving bar with three plush stools, a Sub-Zero fridge, a four-zone hob, a combination oven and a double-sink. Forward of the dining area is a snug storage room that can be used to store fishing equipment, be kitted out as a pantry or even turned into an on-deck guest cabin.

The below-deck space on the Viking 80C is arranged in a popular five stateroom layout, with each bedroom benefiting from en suite facilities. Two bunk berths to starboard sit across from a double bedroom to port and a master double nestled up against the bow. Yet it is the full-beam amidship owner’s stateroom that will be fought over by guests. This room features two windows built into the hull sides for extra natural light, a work-desk, an armchair, a pair of maple-lined hanging closets, a king-sized island bed and a bathroom featuring couple’s sinks and a fiberglass shower cubicle.

The Viking 80C garnered a slew of rave reviews regarding its performance and handling upon its release, and despite the hefty size this is a quick mover in both blue-water and inshore conditions. The yacht is fitted with a pair of CAT C32A 1925MHP engines as standard, but can be equipped with twin MTU V16 M96L 2635MHP diesels as an optional upgrade. Should you choose the latter set-up then you can expect top speeds to smash the 40-knot barrier, with comfortable cruising in the range of 30 knots. A Seakeeper M26 gyrostabilizer reduces roll out at sea for a more stable experience in rugged waters, while a proprietary planing hull combines a sharp entry, high forward chines and quad running strakes for a dry, buoyant and balanced ride. With 2,600 gallons of diesel in the fuel tank, this yacht is also perfect for sport fishing enthusiasts who like their extended trips out to sea.

Viking has led the charge in the design, development and production of the biggest convertible sportfishing yachts for more than 20 years.  Recognized around the world for quality and performance, Viking is often imitated, but never challenged where it counts out in the deep, on the tournament trail, or in the Winner’s Circle. This propensity for ongoing development is the root for building a better boat every day.

Like all Vikings, the 80 Convertible hones its blue-water DNA from its stable mates. The sleek styling showcases an impeccable sheer line with nine feet of freeboard forward tapering to slightly more than three feet at the stern, a lively reflection of the aggressive profiles of its recent brethren including the 92 and 62 Convertibles. The hull’s sharper entry merges with a higher forward chine designed to divert spray downward when ripping through head seas. Convex hull sections add curvature and form to the refined running surface, while a quad of molded running strakes accentuate lateral tracking and maneuverability.  Tumblehome at the corners of the curved transom adds definition and beauty. Deadrise at the transom is 12.5 degrees and the beam is carried well aft providing exceptional volume, buoyancy and balance, a deft combination, which comfortably accommodates additional fuel, and the weight of a gyro stabilizer.

Subtle style cues including molded feature lines on the flying bridge and the deckhouse are further accented by the raked, metallic black windshield mask and the tinted teardrop salon windows. Sculpted hull vents and tinted portlights add sophisticated attention to detail and utility.

To enhance performance and achieve better engine and propulsion efficiencies, the design, engineering and production teams shaved unnecessary poundage, while increasing strength and seakeeping capabilities. The resin infused hull is a sophisticated composite structure of Baltek end-grain balsa and Airex foam cores with Aramid and E-glass fiberglass laminates. Stringers are fiberglass encapsulated foam and bulkheads are fabricated with vacuumed bagged composites.

Mechanically, the 80 Convertible shares a commonality of technical features proven time and time again for reliability and practicality at the thousand fathom line and beyond. Chilled water air conditioning provides cooling and heat throughout the yacht with individual thermostats in the staterooms and the salon for efficient climate control. A Delta-T engineroom ventilation system with thermostatically controlled supply and discharge fans provide proper fresh air circulation and water intrusion suppression. Pneumatically controlled engineroom ventilation dampers are integrated into the yacht’s fire suppression system.  Viking’s proprietary VIPER (Viking Independent Programmable Electro-hydraulic Rudder) steering eliminates the tie-bar for independent rudder operation and optimizes response and reduces drag at low, mid and high speeds for extraordinary maneuverability in all sea conditions.

A lengthy list of standard equipment includes a hydraulic bow thruster, a centralize seawater system, dual freshwater pumps, Veem S-class propellers, two 29 kW Onan generators, two Glendinning Cablemasters, Charles PM 100 shore power cord combiner and isolation transformer, and an Octoplex touch screen electrical distribution panel with monitors in the salon and on the flying bridge with manual back-up.

Powered with tier 3 MTU Series 2000 V16 M96L engines each developing 2,635 mhp with Blue Vision controls and display monitors, our testing calculations indicate a top speed in excess of 40 knots with an effortless high 30 knot cruise, depending upon load, sea conditions and ambient environmental factors. These engines are the same as used aboard the 92 Convertible. It is interesting to note that MTU looked to Viking to be the first manufacturer to use this new propulsion system and Viking’s success with its 92 series verified the engines comprise a winning combination for speed, efficiency, range, acceleration and quietness, which will replicate aboard the new 80 Convertible. 

Entered through an electric sliding door on the cockpit mezzanine deck, the salon is a forest of satin walnut joinery and leather appointments, created by the artful direction from the team of the William Bales and Company. The 21 ft. 5 in. beam and the use of the vertical space is immediately apparent creating a free flowing movement with the ambiance of a great room. A day head is immediately to starboard. To port, a J lounge and coffee table is a virtual conference area, opposite walnut cabinetry housing a 60 in. flat screen television on an electric lift. Forward to starboard a raised built-in dinette serves a dual purpose with rod stowage for 80 pound outfits. The fore and aft style of the galley maximizes useful space with under counter refrigeration beneath a second dining area with bar stools, while the outboard counter accommodates a double sink and electric cooktop. Forward of the galley, a versatile walk-in pantry is as spacious as a stateroom and can be outfitted as such. 

Inviting accommodations include five generously appointed staterooms, including a full beam master suite with a king size walk-around bed. The port and forward staterooms have walk-around queen beds. The two starboard staterooms have upper and lower berths, and are surprisingly spacious thanks to the use of sliding entrance doors which maximize interior space. Every stateroom has a large head and fiberglass shower stall. A washer and dryer are located in the companionway.

On the flying bridge, a center console command station gives the operator a great view underway and while fishing. Three pedestal helm seats are standard, and additional seating is available on port and starboard lounges, each with rod stowage below. A U-shape lounge and table forward of the console seats more guests, and is notably below the forward sightlines of the helmsman thanks to the raised standing platform behind the console. A freezer is forward between a refrigerated box and a sink with a freshwater outlet.  While air conditioning is available on the open flying bridge, a climate controlled enclosed bridge with access from the salon and the mezzanine deck also is available.  Additionally, the enclosed bridge convertible also can be ordered with an open Sky Bridge.

Viking’s subsidiaries Atlantic Marine Electronics and Palm Beach Towers will outfit the 80 Convertible with communication, navigation and entertainment accessories and its custom tuna tower respectively, which as in the case of all Vikings, allows turnkey delivery from the factory.

The 216 square-foot cockpit is equipped for tournament fishing with a transom door,  freezer, tackle, and general stowage space, live well capacity, fish wells, an ice chest and a chill box for drinks. But some subtle touches also show that the Viking team never stops sweating the details to make things better. The base of the cockpit compartments, for example, are floating, which leaves room for a toe kick for easier access when opening the lids in a sea way. Another neat idea is that the mezzanine gently folds outward at each end making more foot space available in the cockpit. Finally, the 80 Convertible is prepped at the factory for the installation of the M26 Seakeeper gyro stabilizer, either on the production line or at a later date.

Like all Vikings, the 80 Convertible is manufactured to order and will provide its owner with a one-of-a-kind sportfishing yacht built and designed to fish and cruise in luxury and safety anywhere in the world. It is with great pride that we present the Viking 80 Convertible.  We cordially invite you to contact your Viking dealer to learn more about this incredible model and arrange a sea trial at your convenience.
