1998 Viking 46 Sports Cruiser - VIKING FOR SALE

Built in 1998, this 46-foot Viking Sports Cruiser presents the poise of a flybridge motor yacht with the performance of a sport cruiser, powered by twin 430hp Volvo inboard diesels. The inviting interior centers on a bright salon with a U-shaped settee, a proper lower helm, and a port-side galley. Night accommodations are thoughtfully arranged with a forward master V-berth, twin single berths to starboard, and port-side bunks, delivering three cabins and two heads for comfortable bluewater cruising.

Electronics are comprehensive, featuring a Shipmate RS8400 VHF at the lower helm, a Standard Horizon unit at the flybridge helm, and a handheld VHF aft in the main cabin. Navigation is supported by a Garmin 276C and a RayMarine E80 autopilot at the cabin helm, complemented by a Garmin GPSMAP 5212 on the flybridge. Entertainment is equally well considered with a Clarion audio system and a Sony player in the forward cabin, a JVC TV with DVD in the salon, and a Samsung TV in the master, creating a refined cruising yacht experience.

Additional highlights include a watermaker, a 9 kW Onan Marine generator showing approximately 3,600 hours, a power windlass, and other premium equipment. Care and upgrades are up to date: fresh antifouling, polished topsides, new zincs, full engine and generator service with cleaned heat exchangers, new batteries, a new anchor windlass motor, a new freezer with cover, and a complete A/C service. In October 2023 the bottom received new antifouling, hull sides were polished, zincs replaced, new engine batteries installed, and a new battery charger fitted—ready to cruise as a refined and capable performance motor yacht.
