The current owner has caught the Offshore Fishing Bug and has his next New Viking on Order. Be the first to get your name on this boat for the upcoming season.
The Viking 44 Open is both a state of the art fishing machine and a world class family cruiser. The 44 Open boasts the widest beam of any boat in Her class. She’ll provide 30 kts cruise speed in most conditions. With a 14.5 degree transom dead rise you are going to enjoy a heavy, soft ride.
If you are tired of sitting in a beanbag chair to go to the Canyon, don’t pass this one up.
A sliding companionway door and a large set of stairs with a starboard-side vertical handrail lead to the climate-controlled salon. With its 16 ft. 4 in. beam, the widest of any boat in this class, the salon is a spacious social area for relaxing and entertaining. The starboard-side galley, which sits opposite an L-shaped lounge with a dinette
table, includes teak cabinetry with meticulous joinery and fit and finish, expansive Corian countertops, an electric range, separate under-counter refrigerator and freezer units and a microwave/convection oven. Other notable amenities include a stereo system with a 24-inch flat screen HD TV.
In the forward master stateroom, the island queen bed with mattress has a lift-up top with gas pistons and maple-lined storage underneath. There's also a maple-lined hanging locker. Air conditioning, a 19-inch flat screen television and access to the head and shower round out the standard amenities. The head has custom Amtico flooring, a one-piece molded Corian countertop with rounded edges and a sink with a satin nickel faucet. With its two-person berth, the aft guest stateroom can accommodate another couple and makes for a nice hideaway for the kids.
Command Deck
The command deck shares many of the practical and notable aspects of its larger siblings, including our signature and tournament-proven centerline forward helm station on a raised platform for enhanced visibility. The beautifully finished fiberglass windshield frame's mullions are strategically placed for a gin-clear view forward. The console
holds a bank of electronics displays, and has space for engine instrumentation and other accessories. Recessed compartments accommodate radios and additional equipment, plus accessory switches and controls.
Cockpit/Engine Room
Viking engineered the 44 Open for the installation of a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer, which brings great stability to the vessel to increase overall comfort. This beauty has one installed. Just steps away from the command deck, the 119-square-foot cockpit is tournament-ready with flush rod holders, a transom live well, and a transom door with a lift gate, tackle stowage, step-box coolers and in-deck fish and stowage wells. Extra 90 degree swivel rod holders were installed along the transom. Guests can take in the fishing action from the observation mezzanine's aft-facing lounge seating (which has freezer
storage underneath).
With twin MAN 800-hp diesels, the 44 Open will cruise at 30 knots with a top end around 34.5 knots depending upon load and sea conditions. The engine room, lazarette, forward bilge and anchor locker are all painted with Snow White Awlgrip for maximum visibility and easier maintenance. A Delta-T engine room ventilation system, an oil exchange system and an Onan 13.5 kW E-QD (electronic quiet diesel) Series generator are just some of the standard mechanical and electrical equipment.
The 44 Open excels as both a hardcore sportfishing boat and a comfortable cruising yacht, delivering the fishability,
accommodations, comfort and performance that you demand on the water.
