If you’re in the market for a tournament-ready sport-fisherman, the Viking Yachts 70 Enclosed Bridge Saving Grace could be a contender. Including Enclosed Bridge models, Viking produced 36 hulls of its 70 Convertible from 2011 to 2016. HMY Yacht Sales has Saving Grace, a 2012 Viking 70 Enclosed Bridge, listed with a $3.499 million asking price.
Twin 2,600 hp MTU 16V2000 M94 diesels help propel Saving Grace to a reported 42-knot top hop and a fast cruise of 38 knots, while the 70EB’s Seakeeper 26 helps keep the ride uber-stable.
The 70-footer is fish-fight-ready with a 208-square-foot cockpit, fighting chair, a custom double-cockpit freezer, a tackle center with pull-out drawers, under-gunwale lockers for stowage and gaffs, two in-deck insulated fish boxes, a transom box plumbed as a livewell, a refrigerated drink box, a cockpit sunshade and a cockpit cover. Mezzanine seating offers a perfect perch to watch the baits as well as store them.
Saving Grace’s enclosed bridge has the wheel forward with a Stidd helm chair on centerline with additional bench seating to port and starboard. An L-shaped settee and fixed table create a lounge aft. Guests can access the bridge deck via the cockpit ladder or the salon’s staircase.
Stepping into the salon, there is a day head immediately to port, reducing trips belowdecks on tournament day, while a forward-facing L-shaped sofa is ready to offer a reprieve for weary anglers.
The galley is forward and to port, while a dining space is to starboard. The galley has a mirrored backsplash, which increases the sense of space. It has a walkaround island with a granite countertop and under-counter refrigeration. The island has three teak stools.
