Viking 50 Convertible

New Jersey’s Viking Yacht Company has had the world of semi-production sportfish boats in a stranglehold for nearly a decade.

And the brand-new Viking 50 Convertible, available through Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales, the oldest Viking dealer in the world, is a prime example of why the builder is so popular.

With four different models all built on the same 50 hull, the Convertible leads the charge in anticipation of her world premiere at FLIBS 2025, with three more 50 Vikings to come: The Open, the Sport Coupe/Sport Tower and the Billfish. This luxurious three-stateroom battlewagon represents the third generation of the 50 Convertible(50C) with nearly 200 boats delivered across its two previous generations. The 50C shares many design traits with the latest larger Vikings: A flush foredeck for increased safety, a modified upper chine and aggressive strakes for improved spray deflection and a dry ride, and numerous styling features.

“It’s a never-ending design spiral of improvement,” says David Wilson, Viking design manager.

“The new Viking 50 is especially exciting with four models offered on one hull, all featuring stunning lines, smart accommodations and a versatile size, making it a perfect fit for Great Lakes cruising, fishing or north-south adventures,” states Jim Stefano, sales professional at Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales.

The boat is excellent for down time as well. A 43-inch pop-up television in the salon is great for movie nights, while a galley with a Miele four-burner cooktop and a full-size refrigerator ensures no one goes hungry. Down below, the 50 can sleep up to nine people, where the star of the show is an ensuite primary with a queen-size berth and a shower big enough for American shoulders.

Whether you’re spending time aboard relaxing, extended cruising or heading out to chase the fish, the Viking 50 is an excellent choice for anyone who is serious about how they spend their time on the water.
