Since the announcement of the Viking 90, the model has received tremendous global attention. And now the 90 is making waves again with the debut of the first Open Bridge version.
Her sleek design is purpose-driven and loaded with amenities while also serving as a social hub.
From first glance, it is clearly apparent that the visibility is excellent due to the low-profile, well-laid-out console. Both forward to the bow and aft to the cockpit and beyond to the spread, the clear sightlines provide the captain confidence while docking or backing down. The interior perimeter and seating modules have an integrated toekick for added aesthetics and function.
A trio of Release Marine Trillion series teak ladder-back chairs adorn the console. All three chairs have the same size pedestal and are mounted on an elevated centerline molded-in standing platform. Behind is an eight-rod rocket launcher on the double aft rail.
The flat panel helm has an acrylic inlay that can accommodate four 19-inch screens. Recessed port and starboard split lid radio boxes are at your fingertips while also keeping electronics protected from elements with gasketed lids and stainless-steel piston lifts.
Seating is abundant. A pair of bench seats flank the console and provide rod storage below. Aft-facing lounge seats (bookended to the bench seats) include a comfy backrest. A large sun lounge is forward and offers armrests, drink holders and generous storage below. There is also a freshwater sink, large top-loading freezer and a chill box for keeping drinks and snacks handy.
