A Legendary Offshore Platform — Thoughtfully Adapted for Family Cruising
The Viking 56 Convertible represents a particularly appealing chapter in Viking’s sportfishing evolution: a serious, deep-water fishing machine with the beam, interior volume and amenities to serve as a comfortable family cruising yacht. LINEBACKER was built on a proven Viking pedigree hull design with best-in-class engineering, structural integrity and refined joinery. The 56 earned its following by combining offshore capability with the accommodations and practical systems expected of a premium convertible.
LINEBACKER stands out for the unusually low hours on her twin 1,550-horsepower MAN common-rail diesels—approximately 1,600 hours—and for the excellent condition of her original exterior gelcoat and interior woodwork. The exterior is excellent, with no crazing and no paint needed; the interior wood shows very little milky finish. Minor spots can be seen in non-obvious locations. These are important distinctions for knowledgeable Viking buyers and can be confirmed during inspection.
Equally compelling is her thoughtful balance of fishing readiness and owner-operator, family style comfort. A cockpit sunshade, semi-spiral staircase from the cockpit to the flybridge, Optional Island Queen VIP stateroom, extended West Coast-style bow rail, bow thruster and hydraulic foredeck davit help make this a practical yacht for fishing days, family passages and extended cruising. (The dinghy is expressly excluded from the sale.) Her cockpit also offers the space and layout hard core anglers have come to expect with a wide array of fishing features including a macerated fishbox, transom livewell, outriggers, bait freezer and 8 rod rocket launcher, complemented by three Simrad multifunction helm displays.
