Sport fishing on the west coast of the US demands a vessel designed to meet those specific needs. According to the brokerage team at Galati Yacht Sales, the 2018 Viking 80 Enclosed Bridge called Silvertime is not only in exceptional condition but it represents one of the most well-equipped 80 Vikings that has been built for the West Coast. It’s located in Newport Beach, California, and offered by Galati Yacht Sales for $6.495 million.
The owner is a knowledgeable sportfish enthusiast who customized the vessel at the Viking Service center in Riviera Beach, Florida. Silvertime has a custom Haze Grey hull color, a five-stateroom, six-head layout and more. It’s powered by twin 2,635 hp MTU M96L engines and has the optional additional fuel capacity for a total of 3,200 gallons. Upgrades include two 42-kW Phasor generators and multiple live-bait tanks including a bow tank. There are multiple underwater lights, a hydraulic bow thruster, upgraded interior decor and more. The team at Galati says this vessel is highly customized and turnkey, ready to travel and fish hard for a fraction of its replacement cost.

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.”
