well done Jack, it shows that the big US boat companies recognise your great work. and so they should.

[@seanogden927]

I do not think this boat looks much from the outside but wow when you go inside it is like a Tardis Huge, I love all of the interior with the beautiful wood and a great layout, great quality everywhere and that engine room is awesome. Great tour Jack thank you.

[@windycurrent]

I have grown up on Vikings and absolutely love them! So happy to see you doing a tour of a 72. Great job Jack! I hope you have an opportunity to operate one of these in the future.

Love your comment about the tuna tower and being pleased about the sea keeper, Jack the best yacht reviewer full stop 👍👍👍, always remember when I first saw the swordfish boats in italy many years ago with the long bowsprit and super high tower driving towers scary stuff they only went out in calm weather😳😳😳

[@jasonjenkins-ferris]

Jack - love your channel, and even though I'm not interested in fishing, you did a wonderful job showing the detail and engineering that went into such a great yacht. keep up the great work!

[@nnasab]

When you go to any fishing tournament in east coast, you see at least few Vikings. I fished on a few of them. Excellent boats at fast trawling speed.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Very cool!

[@nicbennett6554]

Fantastic boat if fishing is your thing. Easy to see why they’re the market leader! Brilliant tour as always, although slightly disappointed we didn’t see you up on the tuna tower 🫣

[@James-gf9jl]

This yacht would suit me perfectly. I like to keep my tackle neatly tucked away.

Hope you get to sea trial this one! I live in North Carolina on the Crystal Coast. It's a sight to see when one of these sportfishers are heading out at speed for the fishing grounds. I think you're going to really enjoy your job if you get to run this one👍

[@Yachtbuyer]

I’d love to experience it, Jeff! Cheers - Jack

[@mattmacpherson1033]

Awesome fishing machine

[@jefforceone]

Excellent fishing yacht in my opinion nice walk through so capt jack how come you didn’t climb the tuna tower

[@Yachtbuyer]

Saving it for the sea trial 👀

[@maryholder3795]

Oooo she a real beauty. Viking have hit it out of the baseball park with this one. They have used quality materials to build this Fishing Lady of the Sea. 4:17 like that seat you where in comfortable. The helm equipment is amazing and very on point for fishing on the fly bridge. Plus leisure sunbathing. Then you get onto the blessedness of the salon and air-conditioning. Bliss in the heat. Galley is fabulous. Cabins are comfortable and stylish. But no natural light. I have the VIP if I was the owner. The engine room looks as high quality as the rest of the boat. Bomb proof what ever conditions they meet at sea she'll deal with it.

Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous Yacht Captn. Jack! Thanks for sharing this. Love Viking Yachts ❤ 😂😂

[@Yachtbuyer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OliviaCarolol-s9e]

Your videos always bring so much joy and smiles! Thank you for your talented sense of humor and your bright, infectious performances!🟣🕋🍷

[@Blanchy10]

What's the convertible part? Nice boat

[@adderzk9829]

Absolutely stunning ✔️👀👍

[@GalacticAussie]

A very nice Sportsfisher. Front and side railings, along with a tender and crane would be a great added cost, for safety and flexibility whist cruising along at 45 knots. Thanks Jack

[@MJSE-of7gs]

Another excellent walkthrough Jack. Viking are probably the best off-the-shelf GRP sportsfisher boats on the market. However they are still nowhere near the same class as custom cold-moulded timber boats from the leaders such as Rybovich, Merritt, Jim Smith, Weaver, et el ...

[@Olivia-i9g1]

Your channel is not just a source of information, it is a source of inspiration and motivation. Thank you for your creativity and effort!🎼🌗🕋

[@The-Droll-and-LazyJoker]

After years of Viking building extraordinary boats, it all accumulate's in this '74'. Although all the available refrigeration on the flybridge is a bit of overkill, having to climb up a ladder with a large fish seems both cumbersome and dangerous at the same... time

[@PowerYacht]

For the flybridge it can be specified with the staircase, and if you specify the enclosed plus sky-bridge tuna tower it is also safer. Also they can be specified with railings, East Coast which ends at were the fore deck starts, or West coast which ends near the coamings. These railing less version are what is called the Palm Beach versions also used since Viking went for an all in flush deck, which was only prominent on the custom boats till about a decade ago. This first hull was specified in the most old school version.

Thanks Jack! Proud Viking fan here. 😊

[@Yachtbuyer]

Glad to hear it, Chris! - J

[@chrisbethmann3955]

Hey Jack, does Viking have a presence in Mediterranean, or Europe in general?

[@adrianrubi5012]

Can you see the bow from the driver’s seat?

[@lachlanbrown3112]

Go up the tuna tower 😂!!!

[@Yachtbuyer]

Will have to save that for the sea trial 😉

[@gregchrist5090]

They don't allow that in boat shows

[@marcgatto9675]

Viking. Great boats. But give me the Riviera 72 everytime. ( I can't afford either. Just giving me opinion)

[@alderwickjason1544]

Throttles are split so it’s easier to back down on a Fish!

[@mickeyduvel]

Where they have the Hoover...points at a Dyson... lol.

[@Yachtbuyer]

👀

[@OMGz1122]

Perfect boat to go fishing when you're on your 1 hour lunch break and come back with XX pounds/kilos of fish. 😅

[@mristevski]

You need to step up your thumbnail for these vids. Doesn't represent the detailed tour you provide. Love your work!

[@Yachtbuyer]

Interesting… what would you suggest? - Jack

[@DumbassTravis]

​@@YachtbuyerI think the thumbnails look good. Don't know why he thinks you need to step them up

[@Isabella-e9m1]

Your videos are always a great way to relax and get away from everyday life. Thank you for your wonderful creativity!🦾🌗🌪
