KNOTTY GIRL is a well-maintained 2005 Viking 52’ Convertible, designed for both serious offshore fishing and comfortable cruising. Powered by twin MAN 1300s, she delivers a perfect blend of performance and reliability, making her a top contender for tournament fishing or extended travel. With two 21.5kW generators, she ensures ample power for all onboard systems, and recent upgrades have kept her in peak condition.
Stepping into the expansive salon, you’ll find a warm, inviting space designed for relaxation and entertaining. The L-shaped sofa to port offers ample seating, while the dinette to starboard provides a convenient space for meals or rigging tackle. The built-in entertainment center aft ensures you have access to your favorite media while unwinding after a long day on the water. Large windows bring in natural light, enhancing the open feel of the space.
Moving forward, the galley is fully equipped for extended stays onboard. It features high-end appliances, ample counter space, and plenty of storage, allowing for easy meal preparation. With undercounter refrigeration and a cooktop, this space is both functional and elegant, seamlessly blending into the salon area.
Below deck, KNOTTY GIRL offers a three-stateroom, two-head layout, providing comfortable accommodations for guests and crew. The midship primary stateroom to port features a walkaround queen berth, generous storage, and an ensuite head, creating a private retreat. The starboard guest cabin is thoughtfully designed with stacked single berths, offering comfortable sleeping quarters with direct access to the shared day head. The VIP stateroom forward maximizes space with stacked berths, including an oversized lower berth, and ample storage, making it ideal for additional guests or family.
A practical feature in the companionway is a dedicated storage closet in place of a washer and dryer, providing convenient space for fishing gear, extra provisions, or other essentials.
Designed with anglers in mind, KNOTTY GIRL boasts one of the largest cockpits in her class, fully outfitted for serious sportfishing. The molded console includes a rigging station, bait freezer, tackle locker, and engine room access, ensuring that every tool and piece of equipment is within easy reach. A ladder to starboard leads to the flybridge and full tuna tower, providing exceptional visibility for spotting fish and navigating offshore waters.
Recent upgrades enhance both performance and aesthetics, including Garmin electronics and autopilot, a newly updated interior, marine PPF film with ceramic coating, and must-have offshore equipment like a watermaker and ice chipper. These improvements ensure KNOTTY GIRL is turnkey and ready for her next adventure.
With a proven Viking pedigree, tournament-ready fishing capabilities, and a refined interior, KNOTTY GIRL offers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re looking for a high-performance sportfish yacht or a well-appointed cruiser, she is fully equipped and ready to go.
