Viking 45 Open

One of Viking's most iconic express sportfish designs.

The Viking 45 Open is widely regarded as one of the most successful express sportfish models ever built. Viking's legendary solid fiberglass hull, near-perfect weight distribution, and straight inboard shaft drives combine to create a fast, dry, and remarkably stable ride that inspires confidence in any sea state. This is a boat that earned its reputation on the tournament circuit and never lost it.

"The Wroe Boat" is a generously equipped and superbly maintained example of the breed. Powered by twin MAN 1100hp Common Rail diesels producing a combined 2,200 horsepower, she delivers serious performance with a cruising speed of 32 knots and a top end of 36. The 848-gallon fuel capacity provides the range to reach distant fishing grounds and stay all day.

The cockpit is a massive 119 square feet of dedicated fishing space, rigged with Release Marine fighting hardware, Pipe Welders 36-foot triple spreader outriggers, and Miya Epoch electric teaser reels. Above, a Palm Beach Towers hardtop and tuna tower with full controls provide the elevated vantage point every serious sportfisherman demands. Home-ported in Hyannis, Massachusetts, she sits in the heart of New England's prime fishing grounds with easy access to the Cape Cod canyons, Nantucket Shoals, and the Gulf Stream.
