16m Viking 50SC Sportsfisher Yacht Set for World Debut at FLIBS 2026

The 16m Viking 50SC will make its world debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which runs from the 28th of October to the 1st of November 2026.

The new Sport Coupe joins Viking’s 50 Series with a protected helm, a cockpit equipped for fishing and two cabins below deck. It is one of four new Viking and Valhalla models scheduled to premiere at the show.

A Sport Coupe in Viking’s 50 Series

The 50SC shares its running surface with the Viking 50C, 50BF and 50O, but places its helm on a command deck with direct access to the cockpit. A hardtop and single-piece wraparound windscreen provide shelter, while an aft bulkhead is optional. Viking also offers a Sport Tower version with a tuna tower for owners who want a higher vantage point when fishing.

Cockpit equipped for fishing

The yacht features a 12.2-square-metre cockpit with in-deck fish boxes and a raised transom livewell. Mezzanine seating overlooks the working area, with freezer and cooler storage beneath it. The arrangement provides dedicated fishing equipment alongside a place for guests to sit near the cockpit.

A sheltered saloon and two cabins

The three-sided command deck doubles as a saloon, with a raised helm and dinettes to port and starboard. Below, the forward master cabin can be specified with a queen or crossover berth and has its own bathroom. A second cabin has upper and lower bunks. The lower deck of the sportsfisher boat also contains an L-shaped galley and dinette; buyers can choose a Pullman berth or rod storage beside the dinette, and a day head or tackle locker farther forward.

Twin MAN V8 power

The boat is powered by twin MAN V8-1200 diesel engines and carries 3,785 litres of fuel as standard. Viking has yet to publish a top speed.
