Viking's New 70 Convertible Is Coming for the Offshore Crowd
Viking's second-generation 70 Convertible has four staterooms, five heads and a cockpit intended for serious offshore fishing. The New Jersey builder isn't trying to turn a sportfish into a floating beach club. The priorities remain familiar: performance, fishability and the ability to spend long days chasing big fish.
The new 70 draws on decades of experience from Viking's engineering, production and research teams, with input from the people who actually fish the boats. That matters in this category. Cockpit arrangements, equipment access, storage and working space can be just as important as what happens inside the salon.
The accommodation plan includes a full galley, multiple guest cabins and dedicated rod storage. It's a substantial cruising platform, but the layout makes clear that fishing remains central to the design.
With the first hull moving through production ahead of its Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show debut, the 70 Convertible gives Viking another serious entry in the large sportfishing market.
