Viking 48 Open (TBD)

The 48 Open is an express yacht built off the very successful 48 Convertible. A mid-sized express yacht with unique designs of a powerful entry, raked stem, and the same strong and beamy hull as the 48 convertibles, HMY has been impressed with its performance as it cruises in the low 30 knot range, and tops out in mid-30 knot range. Upon walking onboard, the 124 square foot cockpit, one will find ample seating with the twin mezzanine seating areas just aft of the command deck. The cockpit will also be an angler’s dream with cooler storage below the mezzanine seats that can be converted to optional freezer space, in deck-fish boxes, drink coolers, a transom LiveWell and door with lift gate, and a single hatch for the optional Seakeeper. Having the 48 Open’s express platform with an aft open bulkhead, this gives all on board easy access to the cockpit when the fishing action starts. At the command deck, the centerline helm supported by a raised platform and a one-piece wrap around windshield gives the captain excellent visibility. With optional electronics packages from Viking’s subsidiary company AME, and electronics controls and storage in a large radio box to starboard, the 48 Open will be ready to hit the tournament trail or cruising grounds. The command deck is also a wonderful gathering place for guests to enjoy, including a u-shaped lounge with Ultraleather cushions to port with a walnut table in the center and storage underneath, and abundant refrigeration and tackle storage throughout. At the center of the mezzanine is the engine room access. The 48 Open can be powered with the standard MAN 1000 V8 CRM engines at 1000MHP a piece, or the optional MAN 1200 V8 CRM engines at 1200 MHP a piece.Down below, guests will enjoy the luxury accommodations offered in the 48 Open, with a two stateroom one head layout in a walnut interior with horizontal grain orientation. To midship and port is the well-appointed galley, to starboard is a large u-shaped sofa. The guest stateroom is to starboard, and the master is forward. The master has lush accommodations with a queen-sized bed with storage underneath, and en-suite access to the private head. The 48 Open can do it all!Show More
