Viking Yachts

• Westport Yachts

Viking Yachts, family-owned-and-operated in New Jersey, has been building luxury sportfishing yachts for over four decades. A world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production, Viking is dedicated to building some of the world’s finest high-end yachts. Viking has built over 4,000 yachts in the last 40 years and leads the yacht building industry in performance, innovation, luxury, and engineering.

Viking Yachts was founded by brothers Bob and Bill Healey in 1964 when they bought Peterson-Viking Builders, a small, struggling New Jersey builder of 37-foot wooden sportfishing boats. Those humble beginnings, of course, led to Viking Yachts, now a world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production, with over 4,000 Viking sportfish and motor yachts delivered.

With Bob Healey still at the company helm as Chief Executive Officer and deal maker and Bill as company President, chief boatbuilder, and head of Viking Yacht's in-house design and engineering teams, this family-owned and managed business is thriving. Viking Yacht Company builds over 100 high-end sportfishing yachts from 45' to 82' each year. Viking Yachts' order sheet is full for the next 12 months, depending on the model, with sales limited only by production capacity.

Viking 54 Sport Tower Review

• By Peter Frederiksen
• July 19, 2022

Viking Yachts has a proven formula for expanding its fleet by building a completely new model within a model. The New Gretna, New Jersey, boatbuilder’s latest example is its 54 Sport Tower, a model that premiered at the 2022 Miami International Boat Show. Utilizing the resin-infused composite-constructed hull of its 54 Convertible that launched one year before, the Viking engineering and design group unleashed its pair of five-axis profilers to manufacture a series of molds that created a new hard-sided deckhouse, hardtop and cockpit, resulting in the largest express sport-fishing yacht in the company’s 58-year history.

The 54 ST is part of the 54 Open series, which also includes the 54 Open and Sport Coupe. Our test boat was Hull No. 1 of the series, a stealthy bluewater battlewagon made available to us by its owner through Viking dealer Staten Island Yacht Sales. Express-style sportboats demonstrate peak appeal to owner-operators who typically fish with small crews by allowing the skipper to be just steps away from the cockpit. Adding a tuna tower doubles the boat’s efficacy, and the combination of its fishing features married to an inviting interior is an attraction for both new and experienced owners—especially those who participate in tournaments. The style also caters to owners who are considering either moving up or down in boat size.

Cockpit and Command Deck

Sporting 154 square feet of usable space, the cockpit is well-designed and outfitted for offshore work. A livewell is built into the transom with a split lid, and is available with a transparent viewing window and interior lighting. Recessed storage compartments beneath the fiberglass sole can be divided to accept deposits from the ice machine, handle the day’s catch, stow gear, or supplement the livewell capacity when needed. Removable on-deck livewells also can be added, with direct drainage overboard through custom scupper fittings.

A walk-through ­transom door with lift gate, along with a single large lazarette hatch to protect and access a Seakeeper SK16 ­gyrostabilizer, contribute safety, comfort and convenience. Beneath the coaming finds the Cablemaster shore power feed, 12- and 24-volt outlets to supply power to kite reels and dredge gear, dockside freshwater inlets, as well as freshwater and saltwater outlets.

Watch: We show you how to rig one of the best baits for blue marlin: the swimming mackerel .

The mezzanine deck features twin seating separated at the centerline to reach the command bridge and engine room. Beneath each seat, insulated storage is ­suitable for an available freezer option. The mezzanine steps also add capacity for gear and a drink-box cooler.

The command station is organized with large, distortion-free glass panels recessed into the one-piece fiberglass wraparound windshield. An adjustable Stidd helm chair is mounted on a raised platform to deliver comfort and ­spot-on visibility when steaming offshore, watching the activity in the cockpit, or monitoring three Garmin 8622 displays in the raised console above the fiberglass—or optional teak—helm pod. Electronic ZF single-lever controls with built-in bow-thruster buttons are matched to the stainless-steel steering wheel, and Optimus power steering provides the right consolidation for effortless control and rapid response.

Available air conditioning at the helm keeps the cool breeze flowing. A recessed portside console box contains a pair of VHF radios, Bocatech switches, gyro, thruster, thermal camera, watermaker, ice chipper and trim-tab displays, among other ship’s systems, and the Rupp hydraulic outrigger switches. Engine and other Garmin instrumentation are flush-mounted into the hardtop underside, as are a pair of Miya Epoch Super US-9R teaser reels and a pair of rod lockers to accommodate rod-and-reel outfits and gaffs. Flanking the helm are companion navigator chairs with storage underneath.

The command deck is noteworthy for its volume because it uses much of the boat’s almost-18-foot beam. Aft of the helm, the area resembles the space you would find in a convertible’s salon, with a dinette to port and an L-shape lounge to starboard, plus another deep-capacity refrigerated drink box. Chilled air flows from the vents in the cushions lining the area for desired climate control. The insulated deck sole and the ceiling height do a good job absorbing ambient noise, making it easy to converse at normal levels. Aft bulkhead options include a choice of soft rollup or fixed design.

The second command station is provided by Viking subsidiary Palm Beach Towers by way of a 5-foot-6-inch gap tuna tower with a one-piece fiberglass standing platform, complete with molded-in LED spreader lights fore and aft underneath. A 63-inch control box is equipped with everything needed to control your fishing day, including a Garmin 8612 multifunctional display, VDO tachometers, start/stop buttons and a freshwater washdown outlet. No such thing as a bad day at whichever office you select with this ride.

Accommodations

A sliding glass door leads below. Similar to a convertible layout, the beam makes for maximum overnight privacy and rest. Two arrangements are offered and share a commonality of features, including high-gloss horizontal walnut joinery and easy-care Amtico flooring.

Our test boat had a three-stateroom layout: a master forward with a queen-size bed, ample storage, a 32-inch high-definition television, and a private head with a fiberglass shower stall; upper and lower berths on the port side outfit the remaining two cabins and share the second head and shower. The starboard-side galley is a wall of cabinetry, manufactured stone counters, and a premium appliance package, including a 50-inch HD television. Booth-style seating is available in the salon, and a washer and dryer are located in the companionway. The two-stateroom version has a larger salon with an L-shaped lounge and high-low table. Either arrangement should appeal to any traveling ­tournament team.

Engine Room and Performance

Mechanical installations are neat in true Viking fashion, and the Awlgrip-finished engine room provides move-around accessibility. On centerline there is 79 inches of headroom walking in, and 61 inches at the forward bulkhead. Also at the engine room entrance are four digital displays that monitor the status temps of the Dometic refrigeration equipment, a set of analog gauges for main-engine oil pressures, water temperatures and digital tachs.

The 54 Sport Tower refuses to fall short of Viking’s high-standing seakeeping principles. We were able to sea-trial the boat in the open ocean off Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with the twin V-12 MAN 1550 CRM diesel engines hustling us along at 40 knots. At 1,950 rpm, the boat cruised at 34.6 knots and burned 58 gph per side with a nearly full load of fuel, full of water, and the owner’s gear. As we throttled up to 2,100 rpm, the boat recorded a respectable 36.4 knots, consuming 126 gph. This model performs similarly to the 54-foot convertible, a testament to Viking’s design and engineering department’s effort to push the envelope toward a smooth and dry ride by consistently refining the running surface.

Introducing new models is a way of life for the Viking Yacht Company, and the 54 ST is a prime example of the company’s heritage to build a better boat every day. I have run many express boats in my past career as a charter- and private-boat captain. Some of them were noisy, some were slow, some had so-so visibility, and some had terrible mechanical systems and installations. Express boats are basically a hybrid design—good at some things, not so good at others. But this 54 ST is fast, quiet and would be fun to fish on. Equally impressive, combined with its sister companies Atlantic Marine Electronics and Palm Beach Towers, Viking is a unique builder, delivering its boats in a turnkey, ready-to-go-fishing manner. And who doesn’t like a ready-to-use, right-out-of-the-box product these days?

Moscow is a Volga River cruise port, Russia's capital and largest city (population over 12,2 million, metro 17 million). Moscow City covers a total area of approx 2610 km 2 (970 mi2). By population, the city is ranked the world's 14th largest. Moscow is one of the Russian Federation's all 3 federal cities - together with St Petersburg and Sevastopol .

Being Russian Federation's capital, Moscow is a major economic, political, scientific and cultural center, as well as Europe's biggest city.

According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the 9th most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to Globalization and World Cities Research Network. It is also one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world according to MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index. Moscow is the northernmost and the coldest megacity and metropolis on the Earth. It's home to Ostankino Tower, the tallest free-standing European structure; the Federation Tower, the tallest European skyscraper; and the Moscow International Business Center. 

Moscow is situated on Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, which makes it the most populated inland city in the world. Moscow city is well known for architecture, particularly its historic buildings like Saint Basil's Cathedral. With over 40% of its territory covered by greenery, it's one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world. Moscow is the seat of power of the Russian Government, being the site of Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is now the residence of the President of Russia. Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are among the several World Heritage Sites in the city. 

Moscow has 2 passenger terminals, North River Terminal (Rechnoy vokzal) and South River Terminal. The regular ship routes and cruises along Moskva and Oka rivers are used mostly for entertainment. North River Terminal (1937-built) is currently the main hub for long-range routes along the river. There are 3 freight ports that serve Moscow.

In late-July 2021 the city announced plans to incorporate a fleet (unspecified number) of fully electric passenger ferries into its public transportation network from summer 2022, the goal being to reduce the dependence on cars.

• The boats are designed with length ~22 m (72 ft), passenger capacity 42, modern amenities (Wi-Fi, USB charging points, tables for working commuters), spaces for storing scooters and bicycles.
• Moscow Transport confirmed that two routes (with max daily capacity ~16,000 passengers) have already been mapped out.
• Passengers will be able to pay via bank cards, the city’s Troika card (smart card for travel by any public transportation) or biometric payment cards. Those with monthly/yearly public transit tickets will use the boats at no extra cost.
• The new electric ferry service is up to 5 times faster (in comparison to other city public transports) and ~2 times faster than by car.

Moscow cruise terminal

Moscow's cruise terminal is called North River Terminal or River Station  ("Rechnoy Vokzal" / "речной вокзал").

The terminal was opened in 1937 and is one of 2 passenger terminals (the other being South River Terminal) of the city's river transport. North River Terminal is the main hub for long-range (including cruise) shipping routes. 

South River Terminal (above photo) was opened in 1985.
