Overview

If you crave a yacht where quality, looks, and performance converge, this well‑constructed 68' Viking Sport Cruiser (Princess) is the compelling answer. Appointed with a gracious balance for both guests and crew, she presents four primary cabins forward plus a unique crew quarters further forward, for a total of five staterooms. For those drawn to performance, her reputation for precise handling and speed is well earned, with a confident 27‑knot cruising speed. Inside, a gorgeous high‑gloss cherry wood interior sets an elegant tone throughout. Her highlights reinforce the pedigree: a custom Pipewelders hardtop crowns the profile; upgraded 1,300 HP MAN power delivers authoritative thrust; Starlink connectivity and an upgraded Garmin navigation suite were fitted in 2019; PSS dripless shaft seals and all‑interior LED lighting elevate reliability and refinement; and in 2025 she received all new AGM batteries to keep her systems robust and ready.

Hull and flybridge

Her hard‑chine hull with moderate deadrise, a steeply raked bow, and a plumb transom with a swim step delivers poise, dryness, and authority offshore. The foredeck carries a double anchor roller and chain locker, with safe side decks guiding aft alongside a wedge‑shaped trunk cabin to the raised main cabin and spacious aft cockpit. The cockpit pampers guests with a long centerline bench seat, a starboard boarding gate, and port steps that ascend to the flying bridge and boat deck. Above, the flying bridge spans the main cabin and features a forward‑to‑port full‑console helm, bench seating to port and starboard, a centerline radar mast, and an aft boat deck with athwartships dinghy chocks on centerline and a single davit forward to starboard, with aft‑to‑port steps dropping through a companionway hatch to the cockpit. Stainless‑steel rails encircle the decks and flying bridge for enduring security and shine.

Lower deck

Forward, a chain locker opens from the foredeck. Aft of it, the crew cabin is accessed via a watertight foredeck hatch and provides stacked single berths to port with a head compartment and stowage opposite to starboard. The main accommodations then unfold: the forward VIP presents an island queen berth and an overhead hatch, with hanging and drawer stowage outboard to both sides and an en suite head aft to port with a separate stall shower. A centerline passageway leads aft, passing a starboard head, then a guest cabin and steps rising up and aft to the command bridge; to port lies another guest cabin followed by a cabinet housing the washer/dryer and stowage, and steps descending to the master. The master stateroom centers on an aft island queen berth, with an en suite head forward to port succeeded by a sit‑down vanity and ample drawer and locker stowage to port, mirrored to starboard by an en suite shower compartment forward followed by additional outboard drawers and lockers.

Main deck

Forward lies the command bridge with a forward‑to‑starboard full‑console helm, a watertight outboard door, and a bulkhead fitted with an electrically raised and lowered partition. The U‑shaped galley follows, then another bulkhead with a second electric partition, while a raised dinette sits opposite the helm to port. Two steps down, the salon welcomes with an entertainment console to port and adjacent locker stowage concealing a large flat‑screen TV that lifts and lowers electrically. To starboard, a U‑shaped settee provides generous seating with storage beneath. Aft, a sliding glass door and fixed glass partition open to the cockpit. In the cockpit, locker stowage flanks the main cabin door to port and starboard; a forward‑starboard hatch in the sole accesses the equipment and mechanical spaces; and a larger centerline hatch aft in the cockpit sole offers additional mechanical access. Entry to the engine room is through a watertight centerline door forward within the mechanical spaces.

Exterior equipment

A Lewmar 24 VDC vertical‑capstan windlass, with controls at both helm stations and on the foredeck, anchors the ground‑tackle prowess. Electric‑hydraulic trim tabs fine‑tune running attitude, and the Sleipner electric bow thruster grants confident low‑speed authority.

Construction

A custom FRP hardtop by Pipewelders defines the silhouette, complemented by a single Opacmare 550 lb davit on the boat deck, an Opacmare stainless‑steel/teak electric‑hydraulic extend/retract passarelle, and a stainless‑steel swim ladder on the swim step. Below the waterline, bronze thru‑hulls pair with bronze ball valves. The ground tackle is purposeful, with one 110 lb Bruce anchor and 150' of 3/8" galvanized chain. Freshwater comfort is assured by a 120 VAC water heater of 55 gal with a pressure relief valve. Bilge management is comprehensive, with seven 24 VDC pumps on float switches, high‑water alarms in three bilge sections, and a manual diaphragm system manifolded to three bilge compartments, while the waste system employs four Vacu Flush toilets plumbed to a holding tank with 24 VDC pump‑out. Climate control has been methodically renewed, with all AC equipment updated between 2023 and 2025—including pumps, compressors, and air handlers—except the engine room system updated in 2014; Cruisair 120 VAC seven‑zone air conditioning provides individual controls in all major accommodations, complemented by 120 VAC wall‑mount heaters in the master and VIP staterooms and portable 120 VAC space heaters as needed.

Electrical system

All new AGM batteries arrived in 2025 to underpin dependable power delivery. The distribution is disciplined, with rotary main disconnect switches, grounded systems, DC protection by breakers and fuses, and both DC and AC wiring in stranded insulated copper; AC branches are breaker‑protected. Shore power arrives as 240 V/100 amp with two 50‑amp legs. Energy conversion is ably handled by two Outboard 2500 W inverters, one Newmar Phase Three PT‑24‑40‑CE charger/converter and one Mastervolt MASS 48/50. Additional infrastructure includes four Banner Voltmaster 66‑100 battery equalizers, two Charles ISO Boost 5012.0 kVA inlet transformers, and a Cutler Hammer 480/120V distribution transformer. For autonomy, an Onan 27.5 MDKAF‑128 27.5 kW diesel generator with freshwater cooling, wet exhaust, and full sound enclosure serves as the primary auxiliary, complemented by a MASE IS7.6S 7.6 kW night generator with freshwater cooling, wet exhaust, and full sound enclosure.

Upper helm

The upper helm is reached via an elegant interior spiral staircase from the salon or a fixed staircase from the aft deck, and it is easily protected with a canvas bridge cover. A smoked Lexan venturi windshield with a sturdy hand‑hold frame offers wind relief underway, while a Vitrifrigo refrigerator/freezer on the flying bridge keeps refreshments perfectly chilled.

Salon

Entertainment lives at the touch of a button, with a 42" flat‑screen TV that retracts seamlessly into cabinetry, a Sony SAT‑B2 video/satellite receiver, a Bose Lifestyle audio/video/CD/MP3 player paired to a Bose Lifestyle speaker system, and an Aube weather station to keep an eye on conditions.

Galley and dinette

The galley’s signature is its ability to be completely enclosed for culinary focus or privacy, thanks to electric sliding partitions that set to open or closed as the moment requires. An electric sliding window invites steam to clear or fresh air to flow when extra ventilation is desired. This U‑shaped workspace stands on a teak‑and‑holly sole and is specified with a HOB, Avonite countertops, eye‑level storage cabinets, an undercounter freezer/refrigerator, a starboard‑side window with Levelor shade, two deep stainless‑steel sinks, and a Sharp Carousel convection/microwave oven. A sliding pocket door refines the entry, while a Miele G803SC VI undercounter dishwasher and a Tundra undercounter refrigerator make hosting effortless; when discretion is preferred, the electric partitions close the galley in seconds. Opposite, the dinette elevates the experience with an upgraded granite pedestal table surrounded by a generous U‑shaped settee with storage beneath, supported by a U‑Line icemaker, wine storage drawers, overhead halogen lighting, and a U‑Line refrigerator. Fine glassware rests in a locking crystal hutch, and an electric pilothouse door adds a professional flourish.

Navigation and communication

Modern command is immediate with a wireless keyboard and in‑dash mouse driving an 8616 Garmin GPS/plotter/radar/sonar (2019) paired to an 8612 Garmin GPS/plotter/radar/sonar (2019), supported by two Garmin depth and speed logs (2019). Communications and control include a 2006 ICOM VHF with GMDSS and a 2002 Simrad AP autopilot, while onboard Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. An authoritative Kallenbeck horn with air compressor and tank demands attention, the Sleipner electric bow thruster aids precision, and two ACR searchlights pierce the night. Power reserves include a 48V house bank and a 7 kW inverter, and the compass fit is practical with one 3" unit overhead at the lower helm.

Accommodations

MEDUSA offers a thoughtfully engineered four‑stateroom arrangement forward, complemented by crew’s quarters accessed externally at the bow, delivering a grand total of five cabins. The master stateroom, set amidships, showcases an island queen berth and abundant stowage, with a split head concept placing the head to one side and a separate shower stall to the other; a jetted tub elevates the master bath to spa‑level indulgence. Forward to port lies a guest room with upper and lower berths; slightly forward to starboard another guest room presents two twins and a private head, its circular shower stall maximizing space with contemporary style. Furthest forward, the VIP features an island queen berth and a private head for privileged comfort. The master refines daily living with a centerline queen berth, an ensuite head with shower, two hanging lockers, two swing‑arm lamps at the headboard, full heat and air conditioning plus additional electric heat with thermostat, a built‑in safe, a small dressing vanity, a chest of drawers, a lockable entry door, and an intercom. Entertainment is equally curated with Bose surround sound, a Vacu‑flush toilet, a separate shower with Jacuzzi tub, a sofa, a Sharp LC‑20VM2 20" flat‑screen TV, a JVC HRVP780U VCR recorder, and a Sony DVP‑5700 DVD/CD player.
