Is the 2006 Viking 56 Convertible for Sale?

Yes, this 2006 Viking 56 Convertible is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Palm Beach, Florida, and is ready for inspection and sea trial. Because strong resale demand for well-kept Viking 56 Convertible models exists, especially those with updated electronics and documented engine service, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, MTU 2000 Series service records, hull condition, electronics package, and refreshed interior finishes should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with documented service can have a very different ownership profile from another Viking 56 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2006 Viking 56 Convertible Price

The asking price for this 2006 Viking 56 Convertible should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for turnkey sportfish yachts varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. The reward is strong resale demand for well-kept Viking 56 Convertible models, especially those with updated electronics and documented engine service, which supports resale potential. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 57-foot sportfish yacht. Fuel burn on a 57-foot sportfish with twin 1480 HP diesels is a real ownership cost, so plan for roughly 30 knots cruise and a substantial fuel load. Maintenance should focus on MTU service intervals, turbo health, and bottom paint. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, mechanical survey, sea trial, haul-out, insurance, dockage, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Viking 56 Convertible is powered by MTU 2000 Series engines rated at 1480 HP each with low reported hours. The MTU 2000 Series is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong power output and reliable operation, and the low hours reduce near-term mechanical risk. The twin installation delivers a roughly 30-knot cruise, giving this 57-foot sportfish the speed to reach offshore fishing grounds.
 

The proven Viking 56 Convertible hull is known for a dry, stable ride, and the turnkey sportfish layout is designed for offshore fishing and weekend cruising. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so ask for a mechanical survey and sea trial at cruise and wide-open throttle. Fuel burn on a 57-foot sportfish with twin 1480 HP diesels is a real ownership cost.
