Viking Open 42 ST Yachts

Open Space for the Open Ocean

Fishing is always an enjoyable activity, but most with most boats, the boater only has he opportunity to enjoy fishing in areas that can be reached during the day. The Viking Open 42 ST yachts for sale today offer the chance to get the most from both your fishing and entertaining activities while out on the water. The chance to take many people along for the ride will maximize the experience no matter where you intend on taking this well equipped Viking express cruiser.

Power and Performance

Speed is always important when taking friends and family out for a day, weekend, or week at a time. The power and performance of the Viking Open 42 ST express cruiser remains exceptional with the choice of 4 engine configurations. The first three choices all come from Cummings. The Cummings QSB-440 is the standard engine for the yacht and two additional Cummings Diesels come as optional equipment, the 480 and the 600. For those that want to maximize the potential of the Viking Open 42 ST, the MAN V8 1000 is the same engine used on some of the larger yachts on the market. No matter which engine choice you prefer, you can rest assured that your yacht will power through the water like a champ in any weather conditions.

Choose Your Space

The Viking brand is not one that is produced on a large scale. The brand only produces around 25 boats each year and therefore more attention to the details is possible. The layout of the interior of the Viking Open 42 ST yachts for sale maintains 3 different options for the boater. The standard option has two staterooms, one full and one twin single. This option gives you one head compartment and the maximum amount of living space. The second option adds a second head compartment and the third option is perfect for those traveling with more people. The addition of a third stateroom takes away the dining area, but does leave the full galley. This is not a problem for the average boater as the upper deck of the vessel offers additional space for dining with friends and family. With all of the choices, you get the intelligent design of a split bedroom plan for maximum privacy.

True Fishability

Fishing is at the heart of the design of the Viking Open 42 ST. The deck of the yacht remains uncluttered as the main storage areas for fish boxes, live bait wells, and tackle storage is tucked neatly into the deck of the vessel. Rod holders are able to be installed throughout the deck as well and to get a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area, full controls for the Viking Open 42 ST are available in the tower. When it comes time to maintain the pumps or fix an issue while out fishing, a simple button lifts the entire back portion of the rear of the boat to for easy access to everything.
