The Viking 50 Billfish carries forward a series designed for fishing and built with Viking semi-custom quality. From the 37 and 38 to the 46 and now the 50, the Billfish line has kept its identity: a classic dayboat profile with an inset bridge, clean lines and serious cockpit space. Hull No. 1 is now in Hawaii, where she will be used to target world-record blue marlin. At fifteen square meters, the cockpit keeps the focus on fishing, with a teak sole and covering boards, mezzanine seating, fighting chair, rod holders and ample dry and refrigerated storage. The flybridge and center console helm are arranged for long days offshore. Twin displays are flush-mounted and easy to see and access, with instruments and controls inside dual radio boxes siding the teak helm pod; there’s more electronics in the hardtop’s recessed area. The captain has a clear sightline aft to the cockpit. The Viking 50 Billfish offers a cabin layout with two or three cabins version, with an option to have a three berth forward cabin replacing the central double queen berth. In the three cabins version, the third cabin replaces the tackle storage room. The Viking 50 Billfish is powered by twin MAN 1200hp or optional Scania 1150hp.
