Viking 72 Convertible

A recent addition to the Viking Yachts’ fleet is the spectacular Viking 72 Convertible. She recently left the shipyard and headed for the 58th Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.

Fresh off the production lines a day earlier, the Viking 72 weighed the last blue of the tournament, which put the team on the leaderboard in third place among a field of 174 boats.

As a new and improved version of the 70 Convertible, features such as new tank-tested hull, a fresh and stylish salon, and impressive modifications with attentiveness to details throughout the yacht show why Viking Yachts is a leader in sportsfishing boats.

Her popular centre console command station offers superb visibility and excellent electronics display up on the flybridge. Avid offshore anglers will be delighted to know she boasts ample room for keeping bait frisky, thanks to the design of the transom live well and achieves speed of 40 knots and counting.

Merry Fisher 895

Jeanneau’s Merry Fisher 895 features an incomparably bright interior and even greater comfort on board for shared moments of fun and relaxation. As the name suggests, it also makes a great fishing boat for friends and family to enjoy.

This new signature model extends Jeanneau’s Merry Fisher line. With more light and enhanced comfort on board, the new 895 benefits from the latest advantages of the line.

“Her remarkably bright interior is due to wide windows in the helm station, affording impressive sea views,” says Robert Lewis of Boat Lagoon Yachting in Phuket, Thailand. “In the cabin, which is separate and fully enclosed, the window is also enlarged to benefit from an exceptional view of the exterior.”

Comfortable design details abound. The cockpit benefits from an L-shaped saloon, reclining seatbacks and cup holders in the armrests.

Both on the interior and the exterior, the seatbacks can pivot to adjust the seat for greater comfort. Adjusting the ergonomics on board is simple. The optional forward sundeck, in addition to the generous aft sundeck, affords a unique opportunity for relaxing in the sun.

Designed for maximum liveability and fully equipped for comfort on board, this model is truly made for family coastal cruising. Standard and offshore versions are available.

The main cabin has wide windows and is equipped with a shower and marine toilet. The 895 also features a second cabin.
