Viking 72C – Boat Review

• By Capt. Ken Kreisler
• Updated: January 20, 2017

By all standards, the Viking 70 Convertible was as good a boat as it gets. She struck the balance between power and purpose, and the legendary model remained at the top of the heap, earning her stripes as a sea-proven performer.

“The 70 Viking is an iconic boat,” says Viking President Patrick Healey as we stand in the cockpit of the new 72C, getting ready for a sea trial off Atlantic City, New Jersey. “What we did, after building 36 of them over a period of five and a half years, is the same thing we accomplished with our other recent boat models,” he adds. “We just made it better.”

The overall plan was to completely utilize some 24 to 28 inches of new space in the cockpit and other places throughout the vessel. “Take, for example, the area right in back of the Release chair,” notes Capt. Ryan Higgins, the company’s corporate skipper and a member of the Viking brain trust.

“When the action is hot and heavy — especially during white marlin fishing — a serious traffic jam is highly probable, with anglers and mates going every which way,” he says as he points out the additional 8 inches of space now provided between the outer edge of the ­mezzanine and the chair.

Another noticeable change can be seen in the inward curve of the mezzanine’s base. In past years, and as far back as when Viking first started using the mezzanine design, that curve always followed the outward line of the overhang.

I see all the requisite equipment necessary for her to fulfill her prime directive: finding big fish. To that end, every hatch, lid and door is fully sealed using sturdy gasket material along with robust stainless-steel gas rams for effortless open and close. The in-sole fish boxes are oversize, as is the Eskimo ice maker to starboard over where the steps lead to the salon door. “We can use a 5-gallon bucket instead of a scoop,” says Higgins. The mezzanine also encompasses four freezer bait trays, fresh and saltwater washdowns, storage areas, and tackle ­cabinets with pullout drawers.

There is no rule that says one cannot be comfortable on a no-nonsense sport-fishing machine. Viking’s interpretation of that directive is to put things over the top.

With an American walnut motif running throughout the salon, galley and living accommodations below, the William Bales and Company interior reflects an elegance that is as personal as its owner’s wish.

There is a day-head at the starboard entrance door to the salon — a standard Octoplex display is on the bulkhead here — and a U-shaped seating area is located to port. The well-equipped galley forward and to port has three stool seats and runs in a fore-aft ­direction. A dinette is opposite and offers additional seating, as well as a large drawer for fishing-rod storage beneath.

The stairs leading to the accommodations area is to starboard and offers access to the engine room to port, plus the four-stateroom, four-head configuration below. That extra space of the 72C is quite apparent here too. And whether in the forepeak VIP, the two portside quarters, or the master, I found more than ample and comfortable living space, in addition to abundant ­storage areas.

Engine Room

Viking designed her fully Awlgripped engine room so that all the necessary maintenance areas are readily available and tools are accessible. Every piece of equipment has its place. Besides those big, center-stage MTUs, there are a pair of 29 kW Onan gensets, Dometic air conditioning and Spot Zero water-­treatment system, and a Sea Recovery 1,400 gpd watermaker, among other essential equipment.

Performance

Before we take off, I have a chance to look at her from a side profile, where I can see the results of a major design change: There was no step chine aft. “This is our new-generation bottom that can also be seen on the new 92, 80, 62, and 52 models,” Higgins says.

The 72C is now full beam at the transom, with the chine moved up farther. “You can see how it incorporates up and fades away underneath the waterline,” Healey says. “The result is seen in the boat’s outstanding performance that is as good as, if not better than, the 70C — even with the 72C being 5,000 to 6,000 pounds heavier.” And this boat is equipped with a Seakeeper 26 in a dedicated space in the cockpit — all new Vikings now come with this compartment built into the mold and feature a different laminate in the stringer system from the transom to the engine room to absorb the kind of torque the gyro is putting out — so I was eager to see just how she would handle the extra weight.

Several words come to mind as Higgins maneuvers her out to sea: assertive, forceful, dynamic. And it was all too clear that with Viking’s design and engineering, alongside a pair of 2,635 hp MTU 16V Series 2000 M96L power plants and the zero-shifting delay of the ZF SuperShift transmissions, those terms would soon be wholly ­realized and surpassed.

A superior boat design and awesome performance: For a horizon-chasing sport-fishing boat, it’s the kind of combination that tips the scales in favor of her and her crew when prowling the tourney circuit or, while on her own, hunting the deep waters and working the thermoclines.

As Higgins checks his surroundings — the sea is about as flat calm as could be — he begins to slide the throttles forward, and we go from idle to 1,850 rpm in about 10 seconds. The 72C rises up out of the water without any effort and hits a steady cruise of 34 knots at 73 percent load.

The 72C is equipped with the next generation of Viking’s VIPER steering system. The touchscreen on the helm displays the independent rudder reference units, which now deliver the electronic signal to each ram independently. Unlike the first-generation VIPER, these components are built right into both steering rams.

And so what is the result of all this high-tech engineering and balance between design and power? As soon as I get my hands on the wheel, I find out.

Quick, effortless response to all helm commands, awesome in flat-out runs (my day sees a top-end speed of 45.6 knots) and amazing control when in tight turns or carving long, slow changes in direction — she has the same agility when backing down on our “trophy fish.” The Viking 72C truly offers the kind of performance worthy of her pedigree.

Elegantly utilitarian, the bridge presents its captain, owner and guests with a comfortable platform from which to observe all the action. Seating abounds along with storage space, and the centerline helm is as complete as any on the market.

The Atlantic Marine Electronics package comes with all the requisite equipment, including Furuno 25 kW radar, RD33 data organizer and FCV1200BB sounder; Garmin GPSMap 8212 plotter, GHP 20 autopilot and GSD 26 sounder; KEP glass-bridge marine monitors; and FLIR M625L thermal imaging, among many other important and necessary devices. And atop is a well-profiled tower by Palm Beach Towers.

Construction

Like all the new Vikings, the laminate schedule ­incorporates carbon fiber and eliminates the steel I-beams in the engine room in favor of aluminum saddles over the foam-cored stringers. It also infuses the hull and many other parts of the build.

The resin-infused hull offers Baltek end-grain balsa and Airex foam cores, and the bulkheads are built with vacuum-bagged composites.

Bottom Notes

“As with everything here, we are very proud of her,” says David Wilson, the company’s design manager.

Using the baseline of previous boats, Wilson sought not only to replace the performance of the 70C, but also to surpass it. To accomplish that — to get that extra room in the master as well as in the cockpit and other critical areas — Wilson, Healey, Lonni Rutt, Viking’s VP of Engineering and Design, and the rest of the Viking think tank had to deal with the extra weight, new engines, and the structural and lamination changes ­necessary for the new 72-footer.

“There’s a real smooth transition from the some-40-degree entry to about 11.5 degrees of deadrise at the transom,” Wilson says. “From 70 feet to 72 feet, I’m going in the right direction with room to move. The buttock lines and my water planes on the boat are all working to my advantage.”

The pedigree of Viking is present throughout the 72C. But now, with 3 inches gained on the chine beam, a finessed center of gravity aft and a bit more planing area, it’s only better.

Better than custom Viking’s legendary reputation for building peerless sportfishing yachts continues to wave its reign as we introduce the impeccable 72 Convertible. A family owned and operated company, Viking’s commitment to excellence began in 1964 when brothers, Bill and Bob Healey, opened the doors to a small factory on the Bass River near Atlantic City, New Jersey, with a singular goal amplified by grit and resolve to build a better boat every day. This unyielding mission embraced by our talented shipwrights for more than half a century and supported by our domestic and international dealer network has made Viking a world’s leader in the marine industry with an ultra-modern plant that designs and manufactures nearly 90 percent of what goes into every Viking yacht. This new 72 Convertible is another edition of this fabulous story offering ground breaking blue-water performance, style and engineering.

The standard Open Bridge accommodations layout includes four staterooms each with a private head, a J-shape sofa in the salon, a U-shape galley with custom granite countertops, crown molding on upper cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry forward, and a queen berth in the forward stateroom. An optional layout also offers crossover berths in the forward stateroom.

The standard Enclosed Bridge (EB) salon mirrors the Open Bridge plan with the addition of a circular staircase to the enclosed bridge helm, which serves as a second salon with an L-shape sofa, a cocktail table, refrigeration, and an entertainment center. An open galley, an L-shape sofa and crossover berths in the forward stateroom layout also are available. In addition, the 72 is offered in a Sky Bridge version, which provides the best of both worlds with an enclosed bridge and an open bridge above the EB. A day head is standard on all three 72 models.

Viking Yachts 72 Convertible

The Viking 72 Convertible is the next generation of the iconic 70 convertible, a model which Viking delivered 36 times over a five year period. Not only does it encompass the same style and performance as the 70C, but the engineering and design of the 72 take it to a completely other level. So what does Viking do with two extra feet? In an interview with Marlin Magazine, Viking company captain Ryan Higgins discusses the traffic jams that always occur in the cockpit, “Take, for example, the area right in back of the Release chair. When the action is hot and heavy — especially during white marlin fishing — a serious traffic jam is highly probable, with anglers and mates going every which way.” He points to the extra space now created between the fighting chair and the mezzanine. This is only one of the ways Viking has aimed at making things easier to fight fish. It is near impossible to overlook the copious amounts of tackle storage, rod holders and storage, fix boxes, mega-sized Eskimo ice maker, and so many more fishing amenities that make the 72 Convertible the top sportfish in its class.

Like all Vikings, each yacht is built with family and comfort in mind just as much as making it for the tournament angler.   There are four staterooms that each have their own private head and shower so all guests have a great feeling of privacy. There is a companion from the salon that leads to the master stateroom, VIP suite, and an additional stateroom with bunks. And for the crew, there is an additional cabin forward of the engine room. The J-shaped seating in the salon, leather appointments throughout, and the granite countertops in the galley are all what you would expect in a Viking Yacht – only the best.

Even though the 72 convertible is heavier than the 70C, it is assertive in rising out of the way when the throttle is pushed down. Viking equipped the 72 with twin MTU 16V Series 2000 M96L engines that have over 2,600hp and ZF Supershift transmissions that have zero delay in shifting. With a top end speed of over 45 knots and a comfortable cruise speed in the high 30’s, this Viking leaves nothing to want.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
