Four cabins support extended offshore trips
PASION is arranged with four cabins and four heads, giving owners enough private accommodation for family, guests or a tournament crew. That layout makes the yacht suitable for multi-day fishing campaigns as well as longer private cruising.
The 65-foot Viking platform is designed around a large cockpit and substantial interior volume. This balance allows serious fishing equipment to coexist with the sleeping, galley and saloon spaces expected from a luxury motor yacht.
MTU Series 2000 power drives the platform
The yacht uses MTU Series 2000 diesel machinery, a well-established propulsion choice in larger sportfishing yachts. High-output engines are central to the Viking ownership experience because offshore crews often need to cover significant distances quickly.
Service records are particularly important on performance-focused machinery. The listing highlights extensive 2024 maintenance, giving prospective buyers a useful starting point for reviewing engine, generator and supporting-system condition.
Recent work extends across multiple systems
The brokerage notes a broad programme of 2024 service and upgrades rather than a single cosmetic refresh. Such work can materially improve the ownership outlook on a twenty-year-old yacht when it covers machinery, electronics and onboard systems.
Buyers should still confirm invoices, hours and individual component histories during survey. The value of recent work depends not only on the amount spent but also on whether it was carried out by recognised specialists to an appropriate standard.
San Juan offers direct access to Caribbean fishing grounds
PASION is based in San Juan, placing the yacht close to productive Atlantic and Caribbean waters while providing strong marina and transport infrastructure. Puerto Rico is also well positioned for onward cruising through the Virgin Islands and eastern Caribbean.
At $1.25 million, the Viking 65 targets buyers who want proven sportfishing pedigree, four-cabin accommodation and significant recent investment without moving into the cost of a new yacht. Its final value will depend heavily on mechanical survey and documentation.
