Originally, "yachts" were defined as "light, fast-sailing vessels" and were used by the Dutch navy to chase after pirates and other bad guys through the shallow waters of the Low Countries. Charles II of England chose to return to Britain from the Netherlands aboard a yacht for his restoration, and from that point on, yachts came to be used to convey important persons.

These days, nothing beats an afternoon on the open ocean under a cloudless ice-blue sky. A great way to enjoy such a day is by venturing out on a Viking yacht, and if you're into big-game fishing, the Viking 74 Convertible is the one for you.

It's obvious that the 74 Convertible is eye candy; it boasts a striking and uncompromising posture. The salon and galley are located on one level, affording you and your guests a more expansive area for relaxing and entertaining. The salon door opens and closes electrically for hands-free operation.



When you are inside, you can look out through the tinted tempered glass, which provides great natural lighting. For nighttime, the salon has recessed halogen lights on dimmer switches and decorative rope lighting behind the valances. And at dinnertime, you have your choice of two separate dining areas: "a dinette to starboard and bar stools to port."

When you are ready to take in some reality TV, a plasma television in the salon can be raised and lowered from its hand-fitted teak cabinetry, and you can watch it from the comfortable U-shaped lounge across the room—or you can use the DVD/CD player, VCR, or FM stereo with custom surround-sound speakers. Concealed registers circulate the air conditioning or the reverse-cycle heat; this climate-control system comes with individual temperature controls.

You can choose whether you would like four or five staterooms; it is also up to you to decide if you want an open or climate-controlled enclosed bridge layout with an inside spiral staircase to the wheelhouse.

The master suite features a king-size walk-around bed with an upholstered headboard and a cedar-lined stowage compartment underneath. The rest of the room is decorated with varnished teak end tables, an L-shaped lounge with a stowage compartment underneath, twin cedar-lined, mirror-fronted hanging lockers, a teak credenza, a vanity desk, and a built-in entertainment system that includes a flat-screen television and stereo/CD player.

For you serious yachters, here are the specs:

Length (includes pulpit): 78'2"
Berths: 10
Beam: 19'9"
Draft: 5'8"
Displacement (in pounds): 135,000
Transom Deadrise (°): 15
Water Capacity (in gallons): 385
Fuel Capacity (in gallons): 2,400
WOT/Cruise (MPH): 40/36
Standard Engines: 2 1580 DI

Once you're out on your yacht, you'll probably want to do some reading while fishing, so take along your copy of Valhalla Magazine. It's published twice each year for the owners of Viking yachts. All of this can be yours for the low base price of only $3,601,520.
