mtu engines keep Viking yachts moving at full throttle

Posted on November 28, 2016

In the luxury sportfishing yacht industry, Viking yachts are making waves. “Building a better boat every day” is the company philosophy—and it exemplifies Viking’s passion towards design, craftsmanship and performance. Below deck of the 70-foot Viking Convertible, mtu engines meet the high expectations of Viking’s founders—and Viking boat owners around the world.

People want that speed, they want that reliability, and mtu engines do a great job, and we’re very happy with them. The 70-footer is very fast for a boat that weighs 130,000 pounds. Peter Frederiksen - director of communications, Viking Yacht Company

Viking Yachts’ Revolutionary New Sport-Fish and Motoryacht Models are Turning Heads Around the Globe

  • By Yachting Staff
  • Updated: January 7, 2019

The Viking Yacht Company is not in the business of doing anything second-rate. There is no compromising on quality. Period.

So, when Viking decided to re-enter the motoryacht segment, not only would it be chasing the big competitors, it also would be playing catch-up on 17 years of motoryacht innovations and advancements. Fortunately, this is not a big stretch for Viking. The company is constantly pushing the envelope on its legendary sport-fish vessels , looking to build a better boat every day, with continuous improvements in everything from hull design to engine-room layout to cabinetry materials to electrical systems. It would be no different with its motoryachts.

Viking last delivered a motoryacht — the 60 Cockpit Sport Yacht — in 2001, and it was a big part of a motoryacht line that achieved tremendous success from the mid-80s to 2001. Viking no doubt could do it again, but should it? The answer from leadership was a resounding yes. Just like with its battle-tested sport-fish boats, Viking recognized the fact that in today’s marketplace, there is strong demand for high-quality, American-made motoryachts and sport-fish/motoryacht hybrids with an emphasis on style, performance, comfort, luxury and engineering excellence.And Viking’s production setup gives it a clear advantage in something as complex as starting a new line. Ninety percent of the parts and pieces are made on site. And with subsidiaries such as Atlantic Marine Electronics and Palm Beach Towers providing crucial components, all are turnkey ready.

When it comes to selling these masterpieces, Viking relies on its industry-leading network of distributors, none more so than its top dealer and undisputed sales leader, HMY Yacht Sales.

HMY has sold the legendary brand for 26 years and is the leader in Viking sales. In 2018, HMY will sell more than 100 new and pre-owned Vikings, driven by its expertise, close relationships with Viking and the largest network of Viking customers compared to any other firm.

HMY has more Viking Yachts experts on staff than any other firm, including several who were captains with Viking, and many more who regularly fish Viking sport-fish yachts in some of the biggest tournaments around the world.

As Viking boldly re-enters the motoryacht market and continues to redefine the sport-fish market, HMY is uniquely positioned to educate buyers about the newest Viking creations and help them find the perfect vessel for their lifestyle and tastes.

Here’s a brief look at four of Viking’s latest motoryachts and sport-fishers — 93MY, 92 Enclosed Bridge, 82 Cockpit MY and 75MY.

Viking Yachts 93-Foot Motoryacht

The newest addition to Viking’s motoryacht fleet is also the biggest. In fact, it’s the largest Viking ever built, marking the successful completion of a two-and-a-half-year journey to build the largest-ever yacht since the company was founded in 1964, and continuing the Viking tradition of building revolutionary boats.

The tri-deck motoryacht combines the performance of a convertible sport-fisher with the luxurious accommodations of a motoryacht. The 93MY is fast without sacrificing seafaring distance. Powered with twin state-of-the-art 1,945 hp MTU diesels, it tops out from 26.5 to 27.5 knots and cruises from 21 to 24 knots, with a range exceeding 400 nautical miles at cruising speeds.

Viking Yachts 93-Foot Motoryacht

And it’s big, accommodating and comfortable. With a 24-foot-4-inch beam, the 93 holds five staterooms and seven heads, two expansive salons and aft decks, a huge forward galley, 12 televisions, storage for a tender, and crew quarters for three.

The exterior profile is both sleek and timeless, and perhaps most importantly, it looks and feels like a Viking. The impressive helm offers outstanding visibility.

Viking 93MY

On the main deck, remarkable stainless-steel-framed electrically activated sliding glass doors lead you to the equally outstanding salon, where you’ll find a leather-appointed lounge, a cocktail table, occasional chairs and a formal dining table that seats eight.

Viking Yachts 92-Foot Enclosed Bridge Sport-fisher

With its two-level mezzanine and 238-square-foot tournament-ready cockpit with fighting chair, the Viking Yachts 92-foot Enclosed Bridge thrives as both a luxury cruising yacht and bluewater sport-fishing convertible, seamlessly combining the expected luxurious accommodations of a premier motoryacht with the guile and hardcore fishing setup of Viking’s best battlewagons.

Yes, the enclosed bridge is visually striking, but it’s also amazingly functional, combining all the visibility benefits of an elevated control station with the weather protection and comfort of a Viking enclosed bridge. Owners have the option of choosing from either a sky-bridge arrangement or a tower.

Viking 92

The sky-bridge command station shares many of the design traits of Viking’s open flybridge convertibles, such as the walkaround center-console with raised teak helm pod, and recessed and protected areas for multifunction displays, engine and steering controls, and electronics controllers. The enclosed bridge has a forward wraparound console that includes a Stidd helm seat and flanking companion seating.

Once inside this beauty, you’ll instantly understand why Viking describes this spacious interior as a “showpiece of elegance and luxury.” The 24-foot beam allows the salon to transform into a stately, expansive living room. The L-shaped galley offers plenty of storage for provisions, with two walk-in pantries, while a formal dining area can accommodate up to eight guests.

Viking 92

Below, Viking masterfully arranged five en-suite staterooms plus a day head. The full-beam master suite features a king-size walkaround bed, a walk-in closet, a dressing table and his-and-hers private facilities. Crew quarters are aft, with access from the cockpit.

Viking Yachts 82-Foot Cockpit Motoryacht

Consider the bar raised again for luxury and seagoing excellence. The follow-up and sistership to the 75MY, the Viking Yachts 82-foot Cockpit motoryacht is offered with either an open bridge for more outdoor enjoyment or an enclosed bridge for climate control.

The 82CPMY effortlessly transitions from a luxurious cruiser to a bluewater battlewagon, creating the ideal platform for tournament fishing one day and heading on a three-week vacation the next. It features the cockpit space of a large convertible (108 square feet), along with plenty of room for relaxing, maximized by the versatile deck design that features an observation mezzanine, aft-deck dinette with U-shaped settee, and a 9-foot-wide lounge molded into the mezzanine that features loads of amenities.

viking 82

The open-bridge layout is all about connecting with the open ocean, friends and family, with a centerline helm forward flanked with casual seating areas. Behind the helm, a family-size dinette, wet bar with refrigeration, sink and electric grill allow the party to start and stay on the bridge if desired. Farther aft, there is a sun pad, room for lounge chairs and a teak-planked staircase to the lower aft deck.

The climate-controlled enclosed bridge adds the convenience of a second salon, with plush seating, an entertainment center and the utility of a fully protected upper command station. A sliding glass door opens to the aft deck, with a wet bar and room for lounges.

The stylish main deck keeps the entertaining rolling, whether outdoors or in, with forward and aft deck lounges and 8 tons of chilled-water air conditioning providing a climate-controlled environment where a lavish walnut salon, formal and casual dining areas, and a world-class galley set a festive mood. Standard amenities in the low-profile open galley include engineered-stone countertops, under-counter refrigerator and freezer units, high-gloss walnut cabinetry and a starboard-side pantry. Viking also offers a closed-galley design.

Viking 82

Below deck, four luxuriously appointed en-suite staterooms exquisitely balance elegance and practicality. Natural light streams in through the large hull-side windows and foredeck skylight.

Atlantic Marine Electronics outfitted the 82 with custom-designed navigation and entertainment systems, meaning it’s turnkey ready for its new owner.

Viking Yachts 75-Foot Motoryacht

As much as Viking’s announcement that it was re-entering the motoryacht market sent tremors through the yachting industry, the unveiling of the breathtaking, speedy Viking Yachts 75MY was met with 10.0-magnitude earthquake shock waves.

Recognizing the strong demand for a high-quality, American-made motoryacht with an emphasis on style and performance, Viking answered by introducing a true masterpiece.

viking 72

Like its sport-fishing brethren’s pedigree, the 75MY is a performance-oriented design, with a sleek, curvy exterior profile and other style cues taken from Viking convertibles, including the signature molded feature lines on the hull and superstructure, teardrop salon-window design and more. This sport-fishing heritage is one of the key differentiators between a Viking motoryacht and the competition.

Its new owners will be blown away by the 75’s performance, maneuverability and seagoing prowess. The hull features a brand-new design that maximizes space and power to accommodate the optional twin Caterpillar C32-A engines pushing a smooth 1,925 hp each. This level of power and range makes it possible to travel even farther and longer in Viking’s most luxurious models.

viking 75

In addition to the incomparable high-end performance, the 75 includes everything you’d expect from a luxury motoryacht, including four en-suite staterooms (including a full-beam master suite), crew quarters with private access, a fantastic helm and bridge layout, open galley and dining area, Seakeeper stabilizer, shallow draft, sky roof and an engine-room layout that is unsurpassed. The gorgeous tri-level layout showcases a smart fusion of design and space for comfort and practicality. Spacious accommodations provide family and guests with an undeniably elegant experience.

Viking Yachts 90 Review: New Flagship Boat Replaces the 92

  • By Peter Frederiksen

Freshly launched at the 2023 Miami International Boat Show, the Viking 90 is the company’s new flagship, replacing its popular 92-footer that was launched in the 2015 model year. Viking built and delivered 21 of the 92s, and was prepared to continue, but new International Maritime Organization emission regulations required the installation of heavy, large, and potentially dangerous Selective Catalytic Reduction systems. Because the required equipment to deal with these changes neither existed nor would be available to maintain the boat’s production schedule, Viking was forced to discontinue the production of the 92.

A bitter tale perhaps, but since 1964, when Bill and Bob Healey founded the Viking Yacht Company in New Gretna, New Jersey, the builder has dealt with all sorts of stumbling blocks, including the early 1990s federal luxury tax that crushed the marine industry, and several recessions. Recent challenges include COVID-related supply-chain issues and a proposed 10-knot East Coast speed restriction due to right whale conundrums. Yet, somehow, none of these obstacles stopped Viking from carrying out its mantra to “build a better boat every day.”

Some 5,000 boats later, Viking president and CEO Pat Healey charged his design, engineering, and production teams to renew that commitment again and build a new flagship. Investing $20 million in research and creating more than 240 new molds, including hull, topside, flybridge and interior, and pouring in reservoirs of sweat equity and tens of thousands of man-hours, the unveiling of the new Viking 90 as a flagship is no fish story. As with any Viking, a new model must be as good as or better than what it replaces, and the Viking 90 is all that and more.

The cockpit and mezzanine of the Viking Yacht 90 sport-fishing boat.

Cockpit and Mezzanine

The 90’s cockpit is 224 square feet and includes a 203-gallon livewell built into the ­transom that can double as a fish box. A pair of 103-gallon ­insulated fish boxes line the cockpit sole, and each can be refrigerated or serve as a depository for the dual Eskimo ice chippers. A watertight centerline deck hatch opens to access the Seakeeper 35 ­gyrostabilizer for maintenance and routine inspections.

The cockpit work area resembles the 92, so there is undergunwale storage, and the lower-mezzanine ­seating ­provides air conditioning for relaxing, watching baits, and staying close to the cockpit action. Insulated boxes and other compartments stow gear, drinks and tackle, and the crew quarters are also accessed through this area. The upper mezzanine is reached by way of ­flanking steps from the cockpit sole and includes an L-shaped aft-­facing lounge, a teak table, and an available 43-inch flat-screen ­television that drops down from the overhead. Another ­seating area to starboard ­provides an electric grill, a cocktail ice machine, and drawer ­storage. Artisan teak decking and a faux-teak bulkhead and cockpit trim work make for a custom feel.

The interior galley and salon of the Viking Yacht 90 sport-fishing boat.

Interior and Accommodations

Stepping into the salon through the electric sliding door, you can see that the interior matches what the 92 provided, starting with access to the enclosed bridge via a wide staircase to starboard. The 92’s interior was a hit with each owner, so the design group capitalized on those previous efforts, essentially fitting the interior accommodations of the 92 into the new 90 hull and deckhouse footprints.

A massive U-shaped lounge to port faces the starboard-side entertainment center with a 65-inch television that rises from the walnut cabinetry, which is available in either a satin or gloss finish, along with a wet bar, sink and icemaker. Slightly forward, the starboard galley with engineered-stone countertops offers tremendous space for several place settings, five bar stools, and commercial-grade appliances. Opposite the galley, there’s an immense U-shaped walnut table on a raised platform that provides a home for rod storage. There is a day head to port and a walk-in pantry to starboard that can also serve as a makeshift stateroom.

The 90-footer’s design group reworked the 92’s overnight accommodations and tweaked an inch here and there to refine the available space with the goal to streamline each stateroom while retaining the size of each bed and entryway. The master stateroom utilizes the full beam, providing a king-size walk-around bed, end tables, credenza, 65-inch television, walk-in closet, lounge seat, ­vanity and desk. His-and-her heads are separated by a walk-in ­glass-framed shower. Four other staterooms, each with a private head and fiberglass shower, provide comfort and privacy. The aft crew quarters also include a small galley and laundry center, enabling the 90 to easily spend a month at sea.

Salon seating behind the helm of the Viking Yacht 90 sport-fishing boat.

Hull No. 1 is built with a ­climate-­controlled enclosed bridge with the skybridge option, with 9-plus feet of ­freeboard ­forward and 3-plus feet aft.

The unbroken ­sheerline melds these dimensions into a silky-smooth transition from bow to stern, and bridge to waterline. The enclosed bridge adds a number of features, including a second salon with an L-shaped lounge, a high-low walnut cocktail table, refrigeration, and a 43-inch pop-up television. The command helm is a home run, and especially noteworthy for its one-piece, wraparound forward windshield that maximizes the operator’s visibility without the typical ­distractions caused by vertical mullions. The added visibility also benefits passengers sitting in the flanking Stidd companion seats, whose view is equally unobstructed. Viking ­subsidiary Atlantic Marine Electronics equipped the helm with five 24-inch Seatronx MFDs, while the lower portion of the helm console is outfitted with radio boxes, instruments, SidePower bow-thruster controls, Optimus steering, and MTU engine controls.

Outside, AME complemented the aft-station layout with a pair of Seatronx 19-inch displays, which also include full engine ­controls and ­communication ­equipment. A sitting area is to port, ­separated by a ladder to the ­skybridge. The skybridge ­features the craftsmanship of Viking’s other subsidiary, Palm Beach Towers, which completed the ­fiberglass hardtop and added a host of accessories, ­including Rupp hydraulic outriggers, spreader lights, teaser reels, ­custom bridge railings, and a radar pod. Viking also offers the 90 convertible in an ­open-bridge style.

The engine room of the Viking Yacht 90 sport-fishing boat.

Engine Room and Performance

The gleaming Snow White Awlgrip-painted engine room has more than 7 feet of headroom on the centerline, with 40 inches between the main engines. Twin 2,600 hp MTUs provide walkaround accessibility to various systems, including the Furuno CSH8L sonar tube, Octoplex digital switching system, and the Optimus steering system. Components are neatly labeled, and composite seacocks help stem corrosion and reduce weight.

The centralized seawater system has been redesigned to reduce complexity and incorporates ElectroSea’s Clearline system with dual pumps to increase reliability and component longevity. A chilled-water air-conditioning system provides 18 tons of cooling with reverse-cycle heat and individual controls throughout the interior.

Twelve people were on board for our sea trial off the coast of Palm Beach, Florida. With a fuel load of 70 percent, the 90 hustled to an average top speed of 38 knots, where one pass read 39.3 knots on the GPS. At 2,100 rpm, the boat eases along at 32-plus knots to deliver a range of some 582 nautical miles.

The Viking Yacht Company hasn’t missed a beat in nearly 60 years of continuous production, and the passing of its 92 is just another milestone in the company’s history. So, it’s safe to say, with 16 90-footers already on order, the beat goes on.

Viking Energy becomes the world's first ammonia-powered platform supply vessel

Shipowner Eidesvik Offshore and partners will make Viking Energy the world’s first ammonia-powered platform supply vessel. In 2026, the vessel will operate on ammonia for Equinor, reducing GHG emissions by 70% or more.

With €5 MM in EU support, the Apollo project will see a dual-fuel engine able to operate on ammonia installed in Viking Energy. The project placed a purchase order for the   Wärtsilä   25 engine and complete fuel gas supply system in July.

The platform supply vessel is owned and operated by Eidesvik Offshore, and the Norwegian shipowner will demonstrate the technology in an operational environment on contract for Equinor.

“Apollo represents an important step in our journey towards carbon-free shipping operations. Eidesvik has a unique history as a pioneer in showcasing new technologies to curb emissions, and we take pride in once again assuming this role alongside Equinor”,   says CEO & President   of Eidesvik Offshore, Gitte Gard Talmo.

The partners will prepare different modular designs and concepts, allowing the quick adoption of ammonia engines as an alternative for both existing and new ships.   VTT leads the work to scale the learnings from the demonstrator ship to other vessel types .  The concept will include safety and monitoring systems and fuel gas supply systems .   Ship design services will be delivered from Breeze Ship Design, and   the complete ammonia solution from the engine, fuel gas supply system and service agreement   are   provided by Wärtsilä.  

Market Changer in Time for 2030. Emissions from waterborne shipping are a major challenge, and the European industry is on a mission to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2030. The Apollo   concept can play a vital part in demonstrating the needed solutions, as the technology will suit large parts of the European fleet.  

The design will be adapted to allow shipowners, ship designers, shipyards, classification agencies, and insurance companies to adopt the Apollo solution into their decision-making processes as early as 2027. Norwegian Maritime CleanTech is leading the EU project. 

“This  will be a real game-changer when it comes to meeting the climate goals for 2030, as it can be adapted to virtually all types of vessels, both on the Norwegian shelf and internationally. The concept's market potential is huge”, says Maritime CleanTech CEO, Ada M. Jakobsen.   

The partners will also map the existing supply chain of green ammonia in Europe and stake out the needed bunkering infrastructure to serve marine and inland vessels. 

The Apollo project, which has received funding through the EU's Horizon Europe program, is run by a consortium of eight European companies and institutions. National Centre for Scientific Research Demokritos is responsible for assessing safety criteria, while partners VTT and Belgian contractor and shipowner DEME will simulate other vessel types and operating scenarios to illustrate the ability to transfer the technology to other segments of the shipping industry.

Viking Energy is also a demonstrator vessel in the EU-funded ShipFC project, which aims to pilot ammonia-powered fuel cells.
