About the Viking Billfish Series

The Mid-sized fishing yacht

The Viking Billfish series focuses on the traditional design of the angler boat. The premise is that when something works well, there is not a need to completely re-envision the craft. Of course, the engineering and the mechanical aspects of the design have been upgraded to industry standards, but overall, the Viking billfish remains a simple, yet tremendously stylish and functional fishing Yacht.

The Series

Currently, there is only one yacht in the Billfish series. This is the Viking 37B. As the billfish is rather new to the Viking yachts, it could be predicted that the success of this yacht will determine if subsequent sizes will be offered. At this point, you can build your own Viking Billfish Series Yacht, and so even though there is only one base model, the potential for variety and for unique features and packages on the Billfish is high.

Since the Billfish is so new to the Viking boat line, it is rare that you will find a pre-owned Viking Billfish for sale. Should you wish to purchase a pre-owned Billfish yacht, it is advised that you use a yacht broker.

The Billfish design

The Viking Billfish series yachts have a deep Vee design on the hull. Bow design is flat and level with the hull, which could be used as a casting deck when the vessel is not in operation. Most of the features of the Viking Billfish yachts are on the stern and the transom including the rod holders, the rocket rod holders, trolling lines and the fishing tower.

The bridge of the boat is aesthetically similar to that of the classical models, meaning that there is more of the boxed look than the windblown curved look so common to modern boating. The Bridge does have a wrap around tinted glass. The console mimics that of a center console when navigating from the fishing tower, the lower bridge navigation has a bit more of the yachting feel, especially when equipped with optional screens and upgrades.

The luxury of yachting

The difference between the Viking Billfish Series and your entry level center console boats and fishing boats is in the materials and the craftsmanship of the yacht. On the bridge, you have seating beside the console. On the cabin, ample space has been given to the head clearance as well as to the ambient and natural lighting. Depending upon the arrangement you desire, you may find that the interior space of the main deck is more in tune with the cruiser than that of the angler craft. However, as the Viking Billfish is designed to be tournament ready, even with the leisure lounge and other seating areas taking up much of the space, there is a focus on the storage space for the angler.

Power for the Billfish Series

The Viking Billfish series yachts are powered by inboard engines. Buyers should take note of this as there are restrictions as to where inboard boats can operate in Florida. Check with the local boating authority as to where the Billfish is best used.

Primarily, the Viking Billfish series should be used in offshore adventures, not for freshwater. Because of the fishing tower, the cabin, and the features of the boat, the Billfish is optimized for deeper water. The small size, however, may limit the distance that one can safely navigate the vessel for long durations of time.
