Every Viking between 45 and 52 feet on the brokerage market right now, newest first. Viking has used the 48 name across generations built decades apart, so a listing headed “Viking 48 Convertible” tells you almost nothing until you have the year.
| Year | Yacht | Asking |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 48' “Mack Attack” | $2,750,000 |
| 2025 | 48' “Done Diggin” | $2,625,000 |
| 2012 | 50' “Sandy” | $1,250,000 |
| 2007 | 52' “Daniela” | $899,000 |
The two current-generation 48s are asking $2.625M and $2.75M. A 2007 52-footer, four feet longer, is asking $899,000. Buyers searching for an older 48 convertible are shopping an entirely different market from the one these two boats sit in, and the two should never be compared on price alone.

Forty-eight feet is the size where a serious sportfish is still a boat an owner can run without permanent crew, and the current 48 does 34 knots at cruise while carrying three staterooms and 1,190 gallons of fuel. That combination is why the model holds its value.
Greg’s sold archive includes Viking 48s and the Viking 45 Open, and his current central listings include the Viking 45 Open “The Wroe Boat”. This is the part of the range he has covered most often, and on a brokerage purchase the seller pays his commission.
As of September 2026 the two current-generation Viking 48 Convertibles on the market are asking $2,625,000 and $2,750,000, both 2025 boats lying in South Florida. Earlier generations of the 48 trade far lower and should be researched separately, because the name has been used across boats built decades apart. Asking prices are not sold prices.
Around 38 knots top and 34 knots cruise on twin V-8 diesels rated 1,200 hp each on the current generation.
48 feet, 14.6 metres length overall, on a GRP hull. Three staterooms for six guests, 1,190 gallons of fuel and 174 gallons of water on the current boat.
Comfortably, with the fuel to do it without planning the trip around stops. The honest limit is not the boat, it is weather tolerance and how many people you want aboard for how long. Greg ran boats professionally for over 20 years and will give you the real answer for how you intend to use it.
Start with the year and the generation, because the 48 name spans boats that have almost nothing in common. After that: generator hours against main engine hours, tower and outrigger condition and mounting, electronics currency, and whether the boat was fished in tournaments.
