The Viking 40 Convertible combines versatility and solid construction, making it an ideal choice for boating families who enjoy both coastal cruising and fishing. With its contemporary styling, this older model appears remarkably newer than its years. Viking has established a reputation for building high-quality yachts, and the Viking 40 Convertible is a prime example that continues to be highly regarded among yachtsmen and sport fishermen.

Designed in-house by Bruce Wilson, the Viking 40 Convertible was introduced at the 1973 New York Boat Show and remained in production until 1982, solidifying its place as one of Viking's most successful models, with 270 units built during that time. The hull and decks are constructed from fiberglass composite materials with a solid fiberglass laminate bottom and cored hull sides, deck, and cabin structures. Viking pioneered core composite technology, ensuring durability and reliability, with issues being rare and typically stemming from improper repairs or installations.
