2024 Viking 38 Billfish

The 38 Billfish’s Cockpit, which measures 109 square feet, is equipped with a laminated in-deck mounting plate for a fighting chair, rocket launcher or table installations. Other big-boat features include in-deck insulated fish boxes port and starboard, a walk-through transom door and lift gate, a bait freezer with upper tray, a transom fish box and live well, rod holders, tackle storage and fresh and raw-water wash downs. Two-person, Mezzanine-style seats flank the centerline walkthrough, and there’s refrigerated drink storage, as well as ample general storage throughout.

The 38 Billfish’s Command Deck holds a Salon-like living area that includes a port-side U-shaped dinette and a fiberglass Hi-Lo table. A comfortable lounge to starboard also serves as rod storage.

Like her Convertible brethren, the 38 Billfish’s Flybridge is designed with a tournament-style Center Console walk-around Helm. The 38 Billfish has Palm Beach-style controls and power-assist hydraulic steering. Seating includes a single Release Marine teak chair and lounges to port and starboard and a forward Console seat. A three-sided Costa Clear enclosure provides weather protection and gin-clear visibility.
