Collection Gift Guide: Norse Marauder
December 1, 2004
The attention to detail continues below. The master stateroom is a hushed and dignified space, perfect for post-tournament slumber or quiet relaxation between battles. The optional cut glass diorama above the headboard is one of the finest decorations I’ve seen.
Sensibly enough–considering the wickedly humid climes where fishermen seek their prey–every closet and cubby is cedar-lined. There is even a large cedar-lined compartment underneath the queen-size bed that is ideal for a cherished set of golf clubs or cold weather gear.
The Viking 74 offers a choice of a four- or five-stateroom layout, including crew’s quarters. (The crew’s berths are accessible from the engine room.) And there is plenty of water for everyone; the desalination system can create 600 gallons of freshwater per day.
The convertible yacht genre is a hybrid format that has evolved to cater to the disparate needs of two distinct clienteles: die-hard sport fishermen and comfort-seeking cruisers. The $4 million Viking 74 is a remarkable achievement: a no-compromise yacht that answers the demands of both groups at the same time. It’s more than good enough to lure even the most fish-aversive family member off dry land and into the great unknown.
