Viking 53' 52 Sport Tower

All Trades Considered // Financing Available // Nationwide Shipping

Built for serious offshore performance without sacrificing comfort, KATALA is a highly optioned 2021 Viking 52 Sport Tower powered by upgraded twin MAN V12 1,400 HP diesel engines. Her three-stateroom layout, Seakeeper 9 stabilization, Palm Beach Towers tuna tower, teak cockpit and mezzanine, and comprehensive fishing package create a versatile platform equally suited for tournament fishing, extended cruising, and family time on the water. The original Viking build documentation confirms the upgraded MAN power package, three-stateroom configuration, Seakeeper 9, bow thruster, additional fuel capacity, 21.5kW Onan generator, and extensive custom equipment specified from build.

KATALA's command deck combines climate-controlled comfort with excellent visibility and a substantial electronics package, while her cockpit is purpose-built for offshore action with multiple livewells, refrigerated mezzanine storage, an ice chipper, electric reel outlets, and abundant rod storage. Above, the custom Palm Beach Towers setup adds 36' triple-spreader Rupp outriggers, electric teaser reels, a fully equipped tower helm, and extensive rod storage.

Recent maintenance and upgrades further distinguish KATALA, with significant work completed throughout 2025 and 2026. Combined with her desirable equipment package, sophisticated walnut interior, and serious offshore capability, she presents an exceptional opportunity for a buyer seeking a well-equipped late-model Viking 52 Sport Tower.
