The Viking 80 Convertible is an offshore fisherman's sport fishing dream machine, and we spent a day on one in Palm Beach, Florida, with HMY Yacht Sales. Jump aboard with us to see what a true sportfishing yacht looks like, inside and out. We'll run the boat to test its performance - with a pair of MTU 16VM96 inboard diesels, no less, providing a shocking 5,200 horsepower. The 2016 Viking 80 is one heck of a beast - come join boats.com senior editor Lenny Rudow, and check it out.

was waiting for the boatsdotcom guy to drop his pants and bend over. in no way was this a "review". it was a viking advertisement, gushing with nonsense. "OMG!!!! They are such INNOVATORS!!!! They put a COUCH in the front of the cockpit!!!! NOone has EVER done THAT before!!!!!". can't stand this kind of tripe.

I dont understand... there seems to be very little space to store any fish you catch. Is there a toilet at the back? If not, you have to take off your dirtybloody smelly fishing gear and walk thru the living area to a dayhead? And why would you store several fishing rods inside, they are bound to start smelling. Is there a stereo system on the outside in the back? The list goes on, many questions to be had. I love the look and the stance of the boat gliding in the water.

Riviera build a 72 foot sports bridge fishing yacht that makes this yacht look 20 years old! It travels over 3000nm! Australia to Bali !! Not saying viking are no good but if you want the best fishing yachts you come to Australia were yachts are built for long distance and savage seas!! If you are in the market for a 70 to 80 foot sports fish make sure you check riviera yachts before you sign the cheque!!! Best in the world! The 72 sports bridge is a masterpiece have a look!!!
