2001 Viking 65 Sportfish | Complete Refit | Turn-Key
DUKE is an impeccably maintained 2001 Viking 65 Sportfish that stands at the top of her class. No system has been overlooked—from mechanical to electrical, interior to exterior—this vessel has been thoroughly modernized and upgraded with top-of-the-line equipment and expert craftsmanship throughout.
Powered by MTU 16V2000 M91s with all services up to date and performed by W.W. Williams, DUKE cruises confidently at 28–29 knots while burning just 105 GPH at 76–77% load. Her versatile 4-stateroom, 4-head layout makes her equally suited for competitive sportfishing or extended luxury cruising.
With hundreds of thousands invested in a comprehensive overhaul, DUKE is truly one of the most refined and turn-key Viking 65s available today.
