Overview

A Proven Viking Platform, Thoughtfully Modernized BAREFOOT brings together the offshore pedigree of the Viking 58 Convertible and a substantial program of mechanical, cosmetic, fishing and comfort upgrades. With an 18-foot beam, a three-stateroom, three-head arrangement and a 168-square-foot cockpit, this model delivers the proportions and practical layout that continue to make classic Viking convertibles appealing to serious anglers and cruising owners alike. Rather than relying on age alone to define the ownership experience, BAREFOOT has benefited from rebuilt MAN engines, a custom teak cockpit, a tailored mezzanine, a high-gloss teak helm pod and an extensive interior refresh. Further investment during 2025 and 2026 includes grey hull paint, bottom work, rebuilt turbos, air-conditioning improvements, updated upholstery and electronics. Together, these improvements distinguish her as a classic sportfish with a meaningful history of reinvestment.

Cockpit and Fishing Layout

The approximately 168-square-foot cockpit is a defining strength of this Viking platform. BAREFOOT pairs its working sportfish layout with a custom teak deck, mezzanine seating, Bluewater Marine fighting chair and ice chipper. Rod-storage upgrades, including the cedar-lined bunk-room conversion and storage beneath the master berth, support an owner who wants serious fishing capability without sacrificing an inviting yacht interior. The updated bridge enclosure and exterior seating add practical comfort for time on the water.

Flybridge and Helm

At the helm, a custom high-gloss teak pod adds a traditional sportfishing focal point to a modernized electronics installation. Three 16-inch Garmin multifunction touchscreens serve navigation, radar and fish-finding functions, complemented by an updated Simrad autopilot and 2026 control-board work. The reported 2025 electronics additions include Starlink, a new VHF and a Raymarine cockpit display. The bridge enclosure was updated again in 2026.

Salon, Galley and Accommodations

The 18-foot beam contributes to a generous interior plan with three staterooms and three heads. The earlier interior refit included new carpeting, a new sofa, updated countertops and sink fixtures, a pop-up flat-screen television and the replacement of the original upright refrigerator with undercounter refrigeration, updated again in 2025. More recent improvements include bar stools, window treatments, Ultraleather upholstery and salon air-conditioning work. The custom bunk-room cedar rod-storage installation adds a particularly useful feature for an active fishing program.

Mechanical and Ownership Considerations

Twin 1,200-hp MAN diesels provide the power package documented in the existing listing. The engines were reported rebuilt in 2023/2024, with 320 hours since major overhaul at the time of that listing. The subsequent 2025 and 2026 service history includes new injectors, injector service, rebuilt turbos, Airseps, a port water pump, valve covers, fuel- and oil-cooler service and updated fuel-transfer pumps. The twin-generator arrangement includes a replacement pre-owned port generator reported at approximately 1,500 hours. A watermaker and Tides Marine dripless shaft seals are also identified in the source listing.

Why BAREFOOT

BAREFOOT offers the Pedigree Platform Advantage: a respected Viking convertible hull and layout paired with targeted investment in the systems, equipment and finishes owners use every day. The major mechanical work, custom cockpit improvements and ongoing 2025–2026 upgrades provide a compelling starting point for a buyer who appreciates classic Viking construction but wants a yacht that has continued to evolve. Her combination of offshore fishing utility, generous accommodations and recent reinvestment merits close consideration.
