Although this Viking 68 has never fished, in 2014 new Rupp outriggers and Bluewater fighting chair were added to make LOST TEXAN ready for a fisherman!  She features a highly functional (and factory optional) Skybridge with a custom hardtop that was designed and installed in 2014.  The hardtop was specially designed to flow with the streamlined lines of this boat.  Her gelcoat is exceptional and her owner had Viking South paint her hull (originally blue), to match the superstructure in 2014.   The interior of the boat also seems as fresh as the exterior.  The salon couches are very unique, as the backs and bottom cushions are one unit and come up together giving much more access to the storage areas under the seating.  The master suite is a double, split level room and creates a grand owners cabin, not common on sportfish.  The 12 cylinder C32As (with only 700 original hours) provide a comfortable 30 knot cruise with a 36-37 knot top speed.  Also, CAT diesels allow for substantially more space in the engine room.  These features, and more, combine to make the Lost Texan a very special yacht.

We average over 100 Viking Yacht sales each year, have more Viking Yachts experts on staff than any other brokerage, and also have the largest network of Viking customers compared to any other brokerage. It's no wonder HMY has been among America's top Viking dealers for decades.

When you come to HMY, you’ll quickly understand that we are the authority for new and used Viking Yachts.

Most Viking owners at some point in their boating life come through HMY Yachts. One reason is our Viking Product Team has extensive hands-on experience.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable Viking expert, look no further than HMY. All of this combined makes HMY the best brokerage to help you find the best used Viking or new Viking Yacht on the market while receiving an exceptional client experience.

Viking Yachts has become a global leader in the luxury sportfish and motor yacht industry.

Founded in the early 1960's by Bob and Bill Healey, Viking built its vessels much like Carolina builders, assembling the boats on frames at intervals throughout the manufacturing facility. By 1972 they were already working on the first all-fiberglass model, the Viking 33C, and building their way into history as one of the finest yachting brands in the world. Viking quickly grew into a major U.S.-based yacht builder and leader in its industry in less than a decade. In the 80's Viking acquired Gulfstar Yachts in Florida, whose designs were considered by many to be some of the best in the industry and incorporated some new innovations furthering their place in the industry. Re-investing with their own money in the early '90s, the brand has been on top of the world ever since.

From a 38-foot sportfishing boat to 93-foot motor yachts with semi-custom fiberglass, advanced flybridges, tuna towers, and impressive outriggers, Viking yachts carry a tradition of excellence, innovative technology, and family history. Most Viking Yachts models are manufactured in-house to ensure maximum attention to detail and impeccable quality control in every sport yacht, open bridge convertible, enclosed bridge convertible, billfish, and the open series yacht that is produced.
