The 2016 80-foot Viking Enclosed Bridge called Frigate was built with zero expenses spared and with attention to detail by a knowledgeable captain and crew. Frigate sets the bar even higher, with detailed, alluring aesthetics coupled with functional amenities which would be extremely time-consuming and painstaking to replace. The vessel is currently located in Stuart, Florida, and offered by Galati Yacht Sales for $5.799 million.
Owners, captains, and crew alike in all arenas, be it long-range cruising or tournament fishing back on the home turf, are impressed by the versatility of Frigate. She is powered by the new MTU Blue Vision smoke-free MTU V16 M96Ls and offers hydraulic joystick control and a dynamic positioning system, allowing her to respond in the class of most 60-foot vessels. Enjoy exterior AC comforts in nearly every seating area for long hot days on the troll. Custom storage, some being refrigerated, has been utilized in almost every part of the vessel. Teak and faux teak accents are evident in all the necessary locations. Interior custom walnut accents, including the companionway, carry the same theme on the inside. A highly professional crew keeps this vessel in impeccable condition and show-ready at all times.

I have even been on the production line of some of those very boats. I reported on the advances in technology and building techniques that have allowed Viking CEO Patrick Healey and his designers, technicians, workers, installers, captains, and sales and support staff to live up to the Viking mantra: building a better boat every day. Proving the point anew is the builder’s Viking 80C.”
