The Viking Yachts 43 Convertible stands as a paragon of luxury sportfishing yachts, expertly balancing first-class comfort with peak performance. This formidable model, which was in production from 1990 to 2002, continues to be a highly sought-after vessel for both avid anglers and pleasure cruisers alike. Offering robust construction and innovative design, the Viking 43 Convertible is a testament to Viking Yachts' commitment to excellence in the maritime industry.
Premium Build and Performance
The Viking 43 Convertible is characterized by its solid modified-V hull, ensuring enhanced stability and smooth handling in various sea conditions. Equipped with a range of powerful engine options, including the 485hp 6-71s and 625hp 6V-92s, this yacht can achieve cruising speeds of 22-23 knots and can top out at up to 30 knots. For those seeking more power, post-1999 models with twin 680hp MANs engines see even higher performance levels, cruising comfortably at 28-29 knots with a max speed of 32 knots.
Lavish Interiors and Accommodations
Inside the Viking 43 Convertible, luxury and functionality merge seamlessly. The boat features a choice between a cozy dinette setting or a two-stateroom floor plan, catering flexibly to personal preference. The mid-level galley is openly accessible from the salon, enhancing the social experience. Interiors are adorned with rich teak cabinets and trim, complemented by top-quality appliances and designer fabrics, providing an up scale atmosphere conducive to relaxation after a long day of fishing.
Customizable Outdoor Experience
Topside, the flybridge area, expanded in 1997, offers one of the largest spaces in its class, including an efficient wraparound helm console for optimal control and navigability. The cockpit boasts a molded tackle center, an in-deck fish box, and, following a 1995 update, direct engine room access. A transom door enhances functionality, confirming that the Viking 43 Convertible is truly designed with the serious fisherman in mind.
