2026 Viking 50' _{(15.24 m)} 50 Convertible

A new Viking 50 series debuted at 2025 FLIBS with the Convertible.The world premiere of the first model—the 50 Convertible—is a luxurious three-stateroom battlewagon representing the third generation of the Viking 50. 

The Sport Coupe and Sport Tower are designed for cruising and fishing, emphasizing the cockpit and a command deck with a three-sided glass enclosure, including an optional aft bulkhead. The Sport Tower incorporates a Palm Beach Towers (PBT) tuna tower into the Sport Coupe design. The Open features a command deck immediately accessible to the cockpit, built with a one-piece wraparound windshield and hardtop; this model is also available with a PBT tower. All are appointed with luxurious staterooms and a full-featured galley and dinette.

The 50 Convertible shares many design traits with the latest larger Vikings: flush foredeck for increased safety; modified upper chine and aggressive strakes for improved spray deflection and a dry ride, stylish feature lines on the hull, deckhouse, and bridge; and recessed salon windows highlighted with radiused perimeters.

The flybridge features a streamlined walk-around center console with a recessed black acrylic dash holding two 22-inch touchscreen Multifunction Displays (MFDs). The captain has excellent sightlines to the cockpit, and a dropdown electronics box can be integrated into the fiberglass hardtop, just forward of another space dedicated for teaser reels. A lounge – with armrests and drink holders – is integrated into the forward section of the console, with storage beneath. Additional padded bench seating is to port and starboard. Immediately to starboard of the helm is a refrigerated drink box. And the 50's length-to-beam ratio has been optimized for maximum speed and a soft, dry ride.

The business end centers around the 131-square-foot cockpit, which is equipped with large, insulated in-deck fish boxes that can be refrigerated. The transom holds a live well that doubles as a fish box or a place to store gear. Anglers have toe-kick space in every direction and rounded coamings for comfort. The boat is engineered for the installation of a Seakeeper 10 or 14, with the unit mounted in a dedicated space on centerline.Call a Viking Specialist today.
