Project: Viking 50 Billfish

Viking present for the largest Billfish yet, as it unveils project details for the upcoming 50 Billfish. The 50 Billfish builds on the success of the 37, 38 and 46 models and with its increased size, offers high fishing functionality and convertible-level comfort in an innovative, versatile package. Since launching the Billfish series in 2017, Viking has delivered a combined ninety boats across the three models, establishing a unique market segment for owners seeking sporty, easily maintained yachts ideal for fish-focused owner-operators. The 50 Billfish takes it a step further by incorporating enhancements that prioritize comfort and luxury while remaining true to the series' sportfishing legacy. The 50 Billfish shares the same hull as the other three models in the new upcoming 50 Series, which includes the 50 Convertible set to debut in mid this years, 50 Sport Coupe/Sport Tower and the 50 Open Express. Beyond the hull, however, the 50 Billfish is completely distinct, featuring different mechanical layouts, engine placement, fuel tank configuration and weight distribution. One of the 50 Billfish most defining traits is the significantly large cockpit, which will measure fifteen square meters, that is a lot space nearly as much as the Viking 64. The cockpit accommodates cavernous fish boxes, a generous tackle cabinet, a drink box, and freezer and refrigerated storage. The 50 Billfish is designed with a fixed aft bulkhead integral to the deckhouse. A centre-line door leads to the day boat-style salon, which includes a port-side lounge, a starboard-side raised dinette with rod storage below and a split galley forward. Owners have the flexibility to install up to three Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer units, with ample cabinet storage and countertop space. The lower deck features a two-stateroom layout with an open area that can be configured with upper/lower bunks or outfitted as a rod-and-tackle center. Both staterooms offer privacy, comfort and luxury. The forward master includes a walkaround queen bed with an ensuite head, while the port guest stateroom features upper and lower berths and access to the port head, which also serves as the day head. Like its stablemates, the 50 Billfish is designed with an inset-style bridge, giving it a sporty silhouette while maintaining a spacious feel on the flybridge. At its core is the center-console walkaround helm, a tournament-proven setup that maximizes visibility. The flybridge also offers seating, a refrigerated drink box and abundant storage. The Viking 50 Billfish is to be powered by twin Man 1200hp engines, and is scheduled is set to debut at Viking's VIP Boat Show at the end of January 2026.
