According to the brokers at Galati Yacht Sales, the 2022 Viking 68 Convertible known as El Dorado represents a great opportunity to own a current model Viking that is very lightly used and never fished. The current owner built this Viking thinking ahead to have all the systems prepped and prewired for the next owner. There has been light cruising and very little use in the interior. El Dorado is asking $4.6 million.
Noteworthy features and upgrades include:
- Single owner and very lightly used
- Very low hours and well maintained
- RiteAire dehumidification system
- ElectroSea system
- Prepped and prewired for new equipment as desired by new owner
- CAT C32A engine package with Platinum Plus ESC until 4/19/26 or 2,000 Hours
Of the Viking 68C, Yachting previously wrote: “Viking’s designers have given the 68 Convertible an accommodation plan similar to and as spacious as the three-stateroom layout of the 65, with an important exception. Using the extra 3 feet of length and an extra inch of beam, they have managed to add a fourth stateroom that does not require reworking the portside master stateroom into a smaller space, as was done on the 65.
Otherwise, like the 65, the 68 Convertible has a VIP stateroom with an island queen berth forward, a master stateroom with an athwartship queen berth to port, and a cabin with upper and lower twin berths to port. The fourth stateroom, to port abaft the master stateroom, also carries upper and lower berths. It, like the other three staterooms, has an en suite head with shower. A passageway that curves as it goes from the saloon stair to the bow helps avoid the visual effect of a long, narrow tunnel that afflicts too many designs.”
The vessel’s 1,925 hp Caterpillar C32A engines have just 185 hours on them, and have the Platinum Plus warranty through 4/2026 or 2,000 hours.
Where is El Dorado located? The yacht is currently lying in Anna Maria Island, Florida.
