70 Viking Motor Yacht

Other than a few major components, such as engines and appliances, virtually every part of a Viking Yacht is designed and manufactured on their premises. By manufacturing most of the yachts components in house, Viking has an inherent quality control advantage. Each yacht is thoroughly inspected by factory trained personnel during the construction process. This attention to detail ensures greater yacht reliability, safety, and longevity.

New models are the pulse of this dynamic company. In fact, more than 50 percent of the Viking Yacht product line is less than three years old with new models arriving yearly. Viking stays in front by incorporating the best in design and performance. And this year is no exception …

What’s New from Viking 2005:

Elegance and more in a true Performance Yacht
The Viking Sport Cruisers 70 Motor Yacht

The new Viking Sport Cruisers 70 Motor Yacht raises the bar in comfort and elegance and will write a new chapter in high-speed, performance cruising.

Comfort and practicality merge on the expansive flybridge with seating for 12, an electric grill and wet bar, sunpad and superb visibility for the operator. There also is space abaft the sunpad for both a tender and a personal watercraft.

The teak-planked afterdeck is ideal for relaxing, and port and starboard steps flanking the lounge lead to the swim platform for easy boarding, or accessing a tender and personal watercraft.

The salon makes excellent use of the wide beam and allows ample seating for family and guests. For ease in moving about, a spiral stairway leads to the flybridge. Rich, gleaming, cherry joiner work imparts a classic look to the exquisite hand-finished cabinetry.

The main helm offers twin adjustable seats and a sliding door to the starboard side deck. Abaft the helm, the galley has a sliding partition, which can be opened or closed for convenience and privacy as needed. Opposite the helm station, an inviting dinette is made even more attractive with wraparound windows providing superb views at the dock and underway.

From the bow thruster to the eight-place settings of china, flat and stemware to the electric cockpit docking windlasses, the 70 Motor Yacht will bring smiles to the most demanding yachtsman.

With select power, the 70 Motor Yacht will have a cruise speed of 29 knots and will approach 34 knots at top chat.
