Tribute 61 – Typhoon I
Tribute Boats, established in 1992 in Stuart, Florida, specializes in building custom high-performance sport-fishing boats. The 2008 61-foot Tribute called Typhoon I is well–known for its billfish-raising prowess during its time in Costa Rica. The yacht is currently residing in Stuart, Florida, and is listed by Allied Marine for $2.8 million.
According to the broker, it was built and maintained by an extremely knowledgeable owner. Some of the notable features include a repower with 1,900 hp CAT C32A engines, full paint and installation of an omni sonar in 2019. In February 2024, the engines received their 1,000-hour service at 3,450 hours, which included valve calibration, aftercoolers serviced, heat exchangers flushed, transmission heat exchangers cleaned, and impellers replaced plus all zincs, fuel, water and air filters replaced.
The boat’s layout consists of three staterooms and two heads, with two staterooms offering bunks for additional sleeping capacity, perfect for overnight trips.

Viking 68 Enclosed Bridge – Mine Time
The 2021 Viking 68 Enclosed Bridge known as Mine Time features a climate-controlled enclosed bridge for all-weather comfort as well as a four-stateroom, four-head layout. It’s currently located at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida, and is offered by HMY Yacht Sales for $5.450 million.
Whether fishing or cruising, the enclosed bridge doubles as a private retreat aboard the yacht, with an L-shaped lounge, entertainment center and walnut woodwork. A polished stainless steel spiral staircase connects the salon to the bridge, while a weatherproof aft door leads to the pod-style docking station.
Mine Time is equipped with a Platinum Extended Warranty for the Seakeeper 26, an Extended MTU Engine Warranty up to 4,000 hours and a newly installed Starlink system for seamless global connectivity. It also has a high-gloss walnut interior, island galley and four-stateroom layout.
Mine Time also features updated electronics from Furuno and Garmin, including the Furuno omni sonar, with additional Garmin displays at the aft helm docking station and in the tower. All electronics were professionally installed by Viking subsidiary AME Electronics.
Of the Viking 68 Convertible, Yachting previously wrote: “The 68C has a Viper steering system, meaning her rudders are independent of each other, a setup that gives the captain a high level of control. As I carved S-turns through the slop, there was no doubt as to the system’s efficacy. She cruised easily at 35 knots at 2,150 rpm, and when I dropped the hammer, she climbed briskly up to 41 knots — a speed that any fisherman trying to beat the clock back to the docks for a weigh-in will appreciate. And even at that speed, she remained dry, with the spray coming off her hull just abaft amidships.”
Where is Mine Time located? The yacht is currently lying at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida.

Viking 68C – El Dorado
According to the brokers at Galati Yacht Sales, the 2022 Viking 68 Convertible known as El Dorado represents a great opportunity to own a current model Viking that is very lightly used and never fished. The current owner built this Viking thinking ahead to have all the systems prepped and prewired for the next owner. There has been light cruising and very little use in the interior. El Dorado is asking $4.6 million.
Of the Viking 68C, Yachting previously wrote: “Viking’s designers have given the 68 Convertible an accommodation plan similar to and as spacious as the three-stateroom layout of the 65, with an important exception. Using the extra 3 feet of length and an extra inch of beam, they have managed to add a fourth stateroom that does not require reworking the portside master stateroom into a smaller space, as was done on the 65.
Otherwise, like the 65, the 68 Convertible has a VIP stateroom with an island queen berth forward, a master stateroom with an athwartship queen berth to port, and a cabin with upper and lower twin berths to port. The fourth stateroom, to port abaft the master stateroom, also carries upper and lower berths. It, like the other three staterooms, has an en suite head with shower. A passageway that curves as it goes from the saloon stair to the bow helps avoid the visual effect of a long, narrow tunnel that afflicts too many designs.”
The vessel’s 1,925 hp Caterpillar C32A engines have just 185 hours on them, and have the Platinum Plus warranty through 4/2026 or 2,000 hours.
Where is El Dorado located? The yacht is currently lying in Anna Maria Island, Florida.

Last Call also features a 1,700-pound davit on the bow with a 13-foot 2019 Boston Whaler.

Viking 80 Enclosed Bridge – Reel Cents
Reel Cents is a 2019 Viking 80 Enclosed Bridge which has been outfitted by a knowledgeable owner and captain for turn-key fishing and cruising in style. Among its many features is the Furuno omni sonar and ElectroSea raw-water system, in addition to the low-hour MTU M96L 16V2000 engines. It’s offered for sale by HMY Yacht Sales for $7.650 million.
The enclosed bridge layout is designed for both relaxation and functionality. An L-shaped custom sofa comfortably seats four, with built-in storage beneath and a high-gloss cocktail table.

For a smooth and comfortable cruising experience, the bridge is outfitted with three Stidd chairs, ensuring both guests and the captain travel in style.

Yachting previously wrote: “This yacht’s engine room is well laid out, even with the big, optional, 2,635 hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L diesels that were installed on our test boat. (Twin 1,915 hp Cat C32 ACERTs are standard.) Plenty of headroom (6 feet 4 inches on centerline), total access to all maintenance areas and equipment, refrigerator-white Awlgrip finish and places for all the redundant systems (including a pair of 29 kW Onan gensets and two centralized sea-water pumps) are just some of the features found here.”
Mechanically, the broker says Reel Cents shows as new. It has the upgraded MTU M96L 16V2000 engines with less than 1,000 hours.

Viking 80 Convertible – A Salt Weapon
The 80 Convertible from Viking Yacht Company was a best-seller for the builder virtually from the day it was introduced. A Salt Weapon is a 2023 80C with striking Nardo Grey paint, located in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The vessel is offered by HMY Yacht Sales for $8.495 million.
According to the builder, in order to enhance performance and achieve better engine and propulsion efficiencies, the design, engineering and production teams shaved unnecessary poundage, while increasing strength and seakeeping capabilities. A modified vinylester resin is used in the entire hull skin. The resin-infused hull is a sophisticated composite structure of end-grain balsa and foam cores with e-glass and carbon fiber hybrid laminates and a custom modified epoxy resin. Stringers are fiberglass encapsulated foam and the structural bulkheads are also resin infused.
Mechanically, the 80 Convertible shares a commonality of technical features with other Vikings. Chilled water air conditioning provides cooling and heat throughout the yacht with individual thermostats in the staterooms and the salon for efficient climate control. A Delta-T engine room ventilation system with thermostatically controlled supply and discharge fans provide proper fresh air circulation and water intrusion suppression. Pneumatically controlled engineroom ventilation dampers are integrated into the yacht’s fire suppression system. Optimus electric power steering delivers maneuverability in all sea conditions.
A lengthy list of standard equipment includes a hydraulic bow thruster, a centralized seawater system, a freshwater system, Veem S-class propellers, two 32 kW generators, two Glendinning Cablemasters, voltage stabilizer isolation transformers for more consistent, cleaner voltage, and an Octoplex touch screen electrical distribution panel with monitors in the salon and on the flybridge with manual back-up.
Powered with tier 3 MTU Series 2000 V16 M96L engines, A Salt Weapon has a top speed of more than 40 knots and a high-30 knot cruise, depending upon load and sea conditions.
Yachting previously wrote: “To be sure, there’s beauty in this beast, and it is obvious to the eye and the senses as she comes into view. She bears all the hallmarks of her 92 Enclosed Bridge big sister, starting with a wonderfully symmetrical profile topped off by a skyscraper-like tower, built by Viking’s own Palm Beach Towers.
Immediately noticeable are her sharp entry, proud bow and foredeck, well-proportioned house, striking black mask, low-slung 216-square-foot cockpit and curved transom with eye-catching tumblehome in the corners.”

1985 Feadship Sportfish 87′ – Thanks Buds
Thanks Buds, a 1985 Feadship Sportfish 87′, is a classic battlewagon, ready for long-distance adventure angling and that accommodates six guests in three staterooms. Gilman Yachts has listed Thanks Buds for $995,000.
In 2005, Thanks Buds was upgraded with twin 1,550 hp Caterpillar C-30 diesel engines coupled to ZF 2050 transmissions with a 2.519:1 gear-reduction ratio. The yacht has a top speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 23 knots.
The yacht’s spacious teak cockpit features a varnished teak transom, teak wraparound covering boards, and padded coaming bolsters. A fighting chair is installed for reeling in large catches, and a transom door allows easy access for landing bigeye tuna.
The foredeck houses a 2006 17′ Maverick HPX flats boat with a 2005 90 hp Yamaha 4-stroke outboard, along with a Marquipt 1,700-pound telescoping hydraulic davit. Two Viking eight-man life rafts in canisters are secured on the bow, flanking the tender. A teak sole extends from the windlass forward, where a 180-pound Poole galvanized anchor is mounted through the hull portside with a stainless-steel surround, 300 feet of 5/8” chain and a high-pressure chain wash.
A 10-step stainless-steel-and-teak ladder leads to the enclosed pilothouse, paneled in satin-finish teak. Inside, to port and starboard, are two curved leather settees with triangular tables, each seating two to three people with storage below. The expansive helm console is centerline with walkaround space on both sides. A 9-foot-wide settee upholstered in tan leather is in front of the helm, and further forward, beneath the three-panel windshield, are seven cabinet doors housing.
The salon preserves its original interior, with wood grains glowing under natural light from large side windows. Guests can relax on a U-shaped sofa with a table or grab a drink from the wet bar. A Samsung 49-inch LED TV is hidden behind tambour doors. Overhead, there is stowage for up to 25 rods, 14 LED lights, a smoke-and-fire sensor and five Bose mini-cube speakers. The salon sole is covered in neutral-tone plush carpet.
Belowdecks, three en suite staterooms accommodate owners and guests. The owner’s stateroom, located forward, is well insulated from bow noise by an expansive bosun’s locker and under-berth stowage. The centerline king-sized berth is surrounded by built-in cabinetry, with two large drawers at the foot of the bed and three top-loading stowage cabinets on each side.
The portside guest stateroom features twin oversized side-by-side berths, while the starboard guest stateroom has twin-size over/under berths, with the bottom berth being oversized. Crew quarters include twin-sized over/under berths, with additional stowage space throughout.
“Thanks Buds remains an icon in yachting circles. She was built as the second of two Gallant Lady Feadship Sportfisherman yachts. At the time of her build, there were no larger pedigree ‘Yacht Fisherman’ on the water. While newer, larger, and faster sportfishing yachts have since emerged, none match the class, grace, or quality of a Feadship. Her original design remains intact, with only system upgrades over the years. This is a rare opportunity to own an icon,” Gilman Yachts stated.
Where is Thanks Buds located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
