Used Viking 80 Convertible Yacht For Sale
The bite does not care how comfortable your boat is, but your crew certainly does. The 2027 Viking 50 Sport Coupe brings those priorities together in a twin-diesel sportfishing yacht with a dedicated offshore cockpit, a protected command deck, and two-stateroom accommodations. Also known as the Viking 50SC, this is a boat for owners who want to stay close to the fishing action without giving up the comforts that make a long weekend aboard worth extending.
The Sport Coupe’s appeal starts with its layout. Rather than separating the captain from the cockpit with a flybridge, Viking positions the helm on a command deck with immediate access to the working end of the boat. For an owner who enjoys running the boat as much as fishing it, that connection is a compelling reason to look closely at the 50 SC.

When a tuna changes direction at the transom, usable space matters more than showroom styling. The Viking 50 Sport Coupe provides a 131-square-foot cockpit, with in-deck fish boxes, a raised transom livewell, and freezer and cooler storage beneath the mezzanine seating. The arrangement puts fish-handling space, bait storage, and a comfortable place to watch the spread into the same working environment.
For a prospective owner, the important question is how that space will serve the way you actually fish. Picture the crew clearing lines during a multiple hookup, switching from trolling to live bait, or preparing for an overnight trip. Consider where you would keep the equipment used most often and how people would move around it. Those are better measures of a fishing cockpit than simply counting rod holders.
The mezzanine also gives the cockpit a second role: a gathering place between bites or after the tackle has been put away. That combination of fishing equipment and seating makes the layout worth considering for owners whose passengers are not always carrying a rod.
The command deck is one of the strongest reasons to choose the Viking 50 Sport Coupe. A three-sided enclosure provides protection, while an optional aft bulkhead allows a more fully enclosed arrangement. Port and starboard dinettes make this more than a helm station; it is also a shared living space where guests can remain near the captain during the run.
Viking places the helm on a raised platform behind a single-piece windshield, with flush-mounted electronics and Palm Beach-style controls. The design emphasizes forward visibility and an organized operating position rather than separating the driver from everyone else aboard.
For an owner-operator, the practical attraction is straightforward: navigation, conversation, and cockpit activity remain closely connected. During a walkthrough, take time to sit at the helm, look aft, and consider the sightlines with your preferred seating and enclosure configuration. A boat that fits the way you operate is more valuable than a longer equipment list.
The Viking 50 Sport Coupe’s base propulsion package consists of twin MAN V8 1200CRM diesels, rated at 1,200 metric horsepower each. Viking also lists an optional Scania package rated at 1,150 metric horsepower per engine. The MAN V8 uses electronically controlled common-rail fuel injection, turbocharging, and charge-air cooling—technology designed to combine substantial output with a compact marine-engine installation.
Fuel capacity is 1,000 gallons as standard, with a 1,200-gallon option. Beneath the accommodations, a resin-infused fiberglass hull and strategically positioned, resin-infused fiberglass fuel tanks reflect Viking’s attention to structural weight and balance. Selected components, including hatches and doors, use Light Resin Transfer Molding to achieve consistent construction and finish.
The broader construction story is equally important. Viking manufactures most of its yacht components in-house, retaining control over much of the process from design through assembly. Its tournament demonstrator program also gives the builder an opportunity to evaluate and improve its boats in actual fishing use. That does not replace a sea trial of your chosen model, but it helps explain the fishing-first approach behind the product.
For cruising speed, maximum speed, fuel burn, and range, request verified performance information for the specific engine package and configuration being considered. An offshore purchase deserves more than a speed estimate borrowed from a different model.
Below deck, the Viking 50 Sport Coupe has two private staterooms. The forward owner’s cabin can be arranged with a queen berth or optional crossover berths, while the guest cabin provides upper and lower bunks. The owner’s head includes a separate shower. These choices allow buyers to weigh the comfort of a couple’s cruising arrangement against the sleeping needs of a regular fishing crew.
The lower living area includes a starboard L-shaped galley with Sub-Zero refrigeration and freezer storage, a microwave, and a cooktop. Opposite is a dinette, with an HD television positioned above the galley. Horizontal-grain walnut cabinetry gives the interior a warm, finished character. Layout choices include a Pullman berth or rod storage outboard of the dinette, plus a day head or rod-and-tackle locker farther forward.
These are decisions worth making around your real passenger list. Will the second cabin usually hold children, another couple, or two fishing buddies? Is additional tackle storage more valuable than another head? The best arrangement is not necessarily the one with the most features; it is the one that makes your usual trips easier.
The principal distinction between the Viking 50 Sport Coupe and Viking 50 Sport Tower is the tower configuration. The Sport Coupe maintains a lower-profile appearance, while the Sport Tower adds a Palm Beach Towers tuna tower for an elevated operating position and greater visibility. Both retain the command-deck approach and direct connection to the cockpit. Buyers should weigh the value of an elevated fishing station against their preference for the coupe profile.
