Viking Yachts<\/a> made more than a few anglers happy with its Viking 92 model, delivering 21 of those boats to new owners in a span of seven years. But then, a few years ago, eco-minded regulations came into play that would have required additional equipment on board\u2014equipment that was problematic in so many ways that the builder decided to design a new model instead, one that was just a bit smaller to avoid the regulatory size cutoff. That new sport fishing model<\/a> is the 90C, which premiered at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2023. As of early April 2023, 16 of the 90Cs had already been sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe designed it right under 24 meters,\u201d says Pat Healey, president and CEO of Viking Yachts. \u201cWe took 13 inches out of the beam, 27 inches out of the length, we got it under 24 meters, and we gained outstanding performance. The boat cruises at 32, 33 knots, tops out at 38 full of fuel. We see 40 knots every day with it\u2014that\u2019s a big increase in speed over the 92. The 92 is an awesome, incredible boat, but this boat, it\u2019s seven years of building 92s\u2014everything we learned from doing that, we took it and put it into this boat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 90C\u2019s features include a 203-gallon transom fish box\/livewell, a pair of 103-gallon insulated in-deck fish boxes (with optional refrigeration), a Seakeeper 35, and a cockpit sole that\u2019s reinforced for a fighting chair, rocket launcher or table. Inside are six staterooms and seven heads, along with a full-size stackable washer and dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hull No. 1 of the 90C is being used as a demo boat on the tournament circuit. It was headed to the Bahamas as this issue went to press, with Healey pleased about its performance: \u201cIt just does things like a 70- or 80-foot boat, but you have the accommodations of a 92.\u201d\u2009<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
