On Sunday May 17, just after 15:00 hours a sportfish yacht of around seventeen meters in length went ablaze on the Fort Lauderdale Intercoastal Waterway, South of Oakland Park Blvd. Seven adults, two children, and a dog where rescued from the sportfish yacht, with one adult female and seven year old being treated for minor injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The sportfish yacht in this fire is a first generation Viking 55 Convertible as produced from 1996 till 2002, and sold in over 150 units. The success of the 55 Convertible not only made it one of the best ever sold sportfish yachts in its size, but also put Viking as the leader for production sportfish yachts.
