This 2002 Viking 55C convertible is for sale in the Bay of Islands with a 20-metre marina berth included, a rare pairing in this market. Built by Viking, a builder known for rugged construction and strong offshore performance, the 55C runs 16.67 metres in length with a 5.3-metre beam, giving a stable, comfortable platform for offshore fishing and cruising New Zealand's northern coastline. Below decks there are three cabins, enough for owners, guests or crew on extended trips, charter work or fishing expeditions.
The solid fibreglass hull and shallow 1.2-metre draft mean she can get into shallower anchorages without giving up the offshore sea-keeping Vikings are built for. The price has been reduced to NZD $1,100,000, and once you factor in the 20-metre berth, hard to come by in the Bay of Islands, this is good value. Buyers after a capable, comfortable motor yacht with real offshore credentials should get in touch to arrange an inspection.
