Viking Yacht 52O For Sale & Buying Center

"Viking’s open models are popular choices for any number of on the water activities including cruising, diving and sportfishing. One of the more attractive benefits for many enthusiasts is that the helm is close to the cockpit, making it the perfect choice for the owner/operator who does not have a crew or simply likes to be in constant contact with the action in the cockpit. The 52 Open is one more example of Viking’s ability to build a model within a model where we utilize a proven hull, in this instance the hull of our popular 52 Convertible, and put our legendary and tireless $1 million five-axis profiler to work creating a new deck assembly. With the 52 Open this meant a wraparound windshield for ample weather protection and excellent visibility from the helm. Accented molded feature lines wrapping around the  raised deck assembly provides a subtle yet distinctive signature of definition contributing to the yacht’s sleek appearance.

            The hull of the Viking 52 Convertible is a perfect platform  for this new 52 Open. With its aggressive entry, 12-degree transom deadrise,  and molded strakes for lift and planing efficacy, the resin infused hull  features a matrix of DuPont Kevlar, knitted fiberglass laminates, end-grain  balsa and foam coring, custom blended modified epoxy and polyester resins, and  vacuum-bagged bulkheads. 
          The command deck has an informal and inviting out-of-doors  feel with its open back providing instant egress to the cockpit. Forward, the  helm is on centerline with a pedestal seat on a raised platform. Additional  seating is to port and starboard. A raised pod plays home to navigation and  communication electronics for easy viewing and use. Abaft the all business area  of the helm, there is a convergence of practical and convenience features,  including refrigeration, plus tackle and gear stowage compartments. Plump  cushions topping the U-shape lounge surrounding the hi-lo table provide firm  support while allowing guests generous seating and ample height to take in their  surroundings. 
          Below, the 17 ft. 6 in. beam offers large volumes of  interior space including a choice of two and three-stateroom layouts. In either  plan, the forward master stateroom is large and fitted with a queen-size bed,  plenty of hull-side stowage behind the teak cabinetry, available in satin or  high-gloss finishes, and served with a private head. Additional staterooms are  found on the starboard side, each with upper and lower berths. The head has  private access in the two-stateroom layout, but guests share it in the  three-stateroom plan. Midship on the port side is a well appointed galley with  a full appliance package, under mounted Corian sink and under counter  refrigeration. Opposite the galley in the two-stateroom model is an L-shape  lounge and table. The three-stateroom version utilizes booth seating.
          The 142 square-foot cockpit has twin mezzanine seating with  stowage room below, easily converted into optional freezer space, along with  drink and bait coolers, recessed in-deck fish and stowage boxes, a transom live  well, and a transom door with a  lift  gate. 
          The engineroom, easily reached through a set of lift steps  built into the mezzanine house the twin MAN V12 1400 CRM second generation  common rail engines. Cruise speed is in the mid-30 knot range with a top  end around 40 knots depending upon load, sea and environmental conditions. With  its DC power-assisted hydraulic steering, matched to stainless-steel,  high-speed rudders, and single-lever electronic controls, the 52 Open delivers outstanding  performance, comfort and range. As you would expect, the engineroom is equipped  in the Viking tradition with outstanding engineering attention to detail  including a Delta T ventilation system with supply and discharge fans for  proper fresh air supply and water suppression, oil changing system for the  engines, transmission and generator, a Glendinning Cablemaster, engineroom  gauges, and a voltage stabilizer transformer.
