VIKING 46 BILLFISH

The 46 BF, Viking combines legendary quality, engineering, performance and accommodations with sporty style and forward-thinking practicality, creating a game-changing mid-size sportfisher. Offering simplicity and ease of maintenance, she’s a ready-to-go fishing machine equipped for inshore and offshore missions as well as a versatile cruising boat with reliable inboard diesel power.

The Billfish is designed and built with many of the same mechanical systems, components and technologies found on larger Vikings. Examples include the Delta-T engine room ventilation system and a fire suppression system that’s automatically or manually operated and tied into the main engine and generator ignitions. Running gear includes Class “S” pitch tolerance propellers with dynamic balancing and bronze struts, seacocks and rudders.

Request more info

To start, we go through a deep dive exploration session to find out what your intended use is for the boat – who you’re going to be using it with, where you plan on using it and what you plan on doing with it. After we’ve discovered what you’re looking for in a boat, we’ll prepare a range of suitable boats on the water, ready for you to view, test drive and experience.

Test drive

You must feel comfortable and safe in your boat, which is why we believe the test drive is the most important (and often most overlooked) steps in a buyers boating journey. Once we’ve discovered what kind of boat would best suit you and your boating needs, it’s all about testing the boat on the water and experiencing the ride and handling. We will arrange a selection of boats that match your criteria and arrange a time that suits you to test each boat until you find the perfect fit.
