Viking Yachts’ battle-ready 62 Convertible comes standard with twin 1,925 hp Caterpillar C32A diesels that give the sport-fisher a 42-plus-knot top hop, ensuring a quick trip to the fishing grounds. The angling-focused cockpit has mezzanine seating with stowage for all the ballyhoo, mullet and Spanish mackerel. It also has a perch to keep an eye on the spread.
Belowdecks, there are three- and four-stateroom layouts for the owner and guests.
As of mid-2024, seven Viking Yachts 62Cs were available, ranging from about $2.9 million to $4.7 million.

“The single-lever controls hit the pins, and my eyes widened as I watched our Viking yacht’s speed climb in quantum-leap fashion: 20 knots, 30 knots and an average top hop of 42.2 knots. She impressed me with that last speed while her motors ran at 2,300 rpm, which is the precise top-end rating for these diesels, indicating a near-perfect combination of power, running gear and design.”
