Accommodation & layout

From the dock, the Viking 63' Widebody Motor Yacht commands attention, its forward-swept radar arch, aft-swept pilothouse windshield, and vast raked salon windows telegraphing the immense interior volume within. Boarding is effortless via a Marquipt-style staircase that secures at the port or starboard midship gates, while the large cockpit and full-beam swim platform make dinghy transfers seamless through the transom door. Stainless steel handrails and stanchions line the forward deck, aft decks, and flybridge for assured safety underway.

The aft cockpit offers a long run of storage lockers for fishing, diving, or maintenance gear, complemented by a cavernous lazarette, transom door to the swim platform, refreshing transom showers, and a ladder rising to the raised aft deck. Two large sliding glass doors usher you into the grand, full-beam salon, where rich teak cabinetry, a teak and holly sole, a white vinyl overhead, and massive windows bathe the space in natural light. A light beige couch to port aft pairs with a mahogany coffee table, while to starboard a pop-up 42" flat-screen TV sits adjacent to the staircase leading to the flybridge. Forward to port, a round teak table seats five with ease, accompanied by three bar stools at the galley pass-through bar; to starboard, dedicated storage cabinets and a liquor locker keep entertaining essentials elegantly organized.

Forward lies the U-shaped galley, finished with granite countertops, new LED lighting, and tile flooring. A suite of Whirlpool and GE Profile appliances equips the chef to craft anything from simple fare to an elevated dining experience for every guest on board.

Just ahead, the lower enclosed pilothouse centers on a control helm featuring two new Garmin 16" chart plotters, a new Simrad autopilot, a new Garmin VHF, and new engine instrumentation. The central bench seat, with abundant storage beneath, affords superb 360º visibility underway, while port and starboard wing doors provide swift access to the side decks for midship line handling or movement to the bow. Up front, wraparound stainless handrails, a Lofrans windlass, forward bench seating, a Bomar deck hatch, and fender brackets complete the foredeck package.

Ascend the starboard salon staircase to the flybridge, a capacious upper deck ready to host multiple couples. Three ladder-back helm chairs lead the way to a central helm boasting all-new Garmin chart plotters, radar, a Simrad autopilot, a Garmin VHF, a new spotlight, and new instrumentation. A forward hardtop and aft Bimini top deliver welcome shade on the sunniest days. Aft to port, a large L-shaped bench with a Corian pedestal table invites relaxed conversation, mirrored to starboard by another bench seat with storage below. Fully aft, the tender deck carries a new Zar dinghy powered by a 25HP four-stroke outboard, serviced by a Marquipt davit with ample room remaining for additional water toys.

A second staircase in the aft salon descends to the master stateroom companionway, with immediate portside access to the laundry room, complete with a workbench, storage cabinets, and a closet wired and plumbed for a stackable washer and dryer. Another door opens to the stand-up engine room, which is brightly lit and offers generous space to access all sides of the engines.

All the way aft, the master stateroom showcases an island king berth and expansive hanging lockers to port, surrounded by abundant cabinetry and drawers. The teak and holly sole contrasts handsomely with the white vinyl overhead, while a long row of mirrors amplifies natural sunlight pouring in from sliding windows. Thoughtful touches include reading lights, a starboard settee, LED lighting, and an emergency escape hatch to the aft deck.

Forward accommodations are reached from the pilothouse via the forward staircase, culminating in a VIP stateroom with an island queen berth. This private retreat features its own head and shower, reading lights, large storage lockers, and a Bomar deck hatch. Aft along the companionway, two guest cabins share a full head with a separate shower stall. To port, the guest cabin offers a double berth, porthole, hanging lockers, a reading light, and teak wall coverings, while the starboard guest cabin is presently utilized for storage.

Electrical system

Engineered for effortless reliability, the electrical system is anchored by a Phasor generator delivering 22 kW and showing 848 hours, seamlessly complemented by a dual 120/240-volt shore power system.
