A better boat - Viking 72

by Viking Yachts 30 Aug 2023 11:33 PDT

Not only does Viking offer the most versatile fleet of luxury sportfishing yachts in the industry, each boat can be personalized to the owner's liking. It's all part of building a better boat every day.

Take the recently delivered Viking 72 Blue Rush 2.0, which features a Stars and Stripes Blue gelcoat and a myriad of exterior enhancements and equipment: hull-side portlights; faux teak transom, mezzanine and bulkhead; Palm Beach Towers (PBT)hardtop and frame with 15 rod holders; and hydraulic windlass with anchor and ground tackle installation. In addition, her Atlantic Marine Electronics package includes a Dinnteco Lightning Protection System.

The interior boasts horizontal grain walnut with a satin finish, Amtico flooring in the salon, galley and dinette and optional motorized window blinds.

The open galley features additional storage in the extended island bar, three bar stools, Cambria countertops and a Channell Glass backsplash.

The luxurious owner's suite is immense, with a walkaround king bed, two hanging lockers and loads of drawer storage.

A 43-inch HDTV faces the bed, and the ensuite head is appointed with more personal touches, including a Cambria-topped vanity, Amtico flooring and walk-in shower with a tile floor.

The 72 can also be outfitted with a PBT tuna tower for both the open and enclosed bridge models. We also offer the 72 in a sky bridge model, which includes an enclosed bridge topped by an open bridge. For more information, we cordially invite you to contact your authorized Viking dealer.
