Manufacturer Model HistoryThe Viking Yacht Company is a family owned business, established in 1964 in New Jersey. The Healey family has overseen the growth of the company from a small regional builder, making wooden fishing boats, to one of the premier powerboat manufacturers in the world, building the finest high-tech fiberglass fishing and cruising yachts available anywhere at any price.
The company has built its reputation on superior quality, enduring designs, extraordinary sea-keeping ability and outstanding customer service. The 44 Motor Yacht was first introduced in 1982 as a replacement for the 43 Motor Yacht. Production for the 44 MY ran from 1982 until 1990, when the luxury tax badly crippled the industry and ultimately caused the demise of the boat.
Hull Design & ConstructionViking Yachts are known world-wide for their outstanding offshore performance which is a direct result of superb hull designs and excellent construction techniques. The foundation for a Viking 44 Motor Yacht is her variable deadrise, modified-V hull configuration which features a deep fore-foot at the bow and 15.5 degrees of deadrise at the transom. Aggressive reversed chines do a remarkable job of keeping spray off the boat. There is a low profile directional keel for improved tracking. The boat is constructed of modified polyester resin for superior blister protection, E-glass woven and knitted fiberglass cloth and numerous coring materials including end-grain balsa, synthetic foam and marine grade plywood. The hull has a solid fiberglass bottom, below the waterline, for rugged service and balsa cored hull sides for exceptional strength and lighter weight. The main stringer system is of fiberglass encapsulating a marine grade plywood core for outstanding shock absorption and rigidity, while the engine beds are a Viking proprietary steel I-beam arrangement, which creates the most rigid foundation possible for the main engines . The deck structure is of similar cored construction as the hull with balsa used to core the deck surfaces. Viking's reputation for quality construction is renowned.
Vessel Walk ThroughThe cabin is entered on center-line from the covered aft deck via three steps. As you enter the salon, you are immediately taken with the large open space that flows freely forward and down into the galley and dinette area. The salon has a large L-shaped sofa to port and single barrel chair to starboard. The space also features built-in cabinets forward, housing the audio and TV systems. The salon is beautifully decorated giving the area a comfortable and warm feel. There are large windows port and starboard which allows plenty of natural light to illuminate the space. The entire interior is finished in the finest teak woodwork you are likely to find. The warm dark tone of the wood gives the interior a rich traditional feel, while the design of the joiner work is classically modern, a look that will always be in style.
At the forward end of the salon, you descend two steps to find the dinette to port and the galley to starboard. While this galley is considered as a down arrangement, the space is open and flows easily back into the salon. This allows anyone preparing meals to feel as if they are still connected to the salon activity, while not having to have the galley as a main feature of the salon. It is worth noting that just forward of the full size refrigerator/freezer, you will find a stacked washer & dryer discreetly hidden from view in a louvered locker. The dinette is a large U-shaped unit that can seat 4 to 6 people and offers plenty of practical storage beneath.
Forward of the galley is access to the guest stateroom and guest/day head. The guest quarters feature an off-set double berth, plenty of drawers and a large hanging locker. The space is beautifully finished in classic woods. There is private access to the forward head. This head has a stall shower, vacu-flush toilet and a built-in vanity with sink.
The master stateroom is aft and is entered from the salon on the starboard side. The master berth is an island marine-queen on center-line. The stateroom is framed with built-in teak cabinetry which provides his & her drawers, shelves and bedside tables, port and starboard, a large hanging locker and a small TV station to port. The master head is very similar in features to the guest head, with vanity, vacu-flush toilet and stall shower.
SalonUpon entering the salon, you are immediately taken with her open and flowing arrangement. There are large windows port and starboard which provide plenty of natural lighting and wonderful views. There is also a full view windshield proving even more ambient lighting. There is a canvas window cover for privacy. Aft to port is an L-shaped sofa in an off white ultraleather, which provides very comfortable seating and will convert into a double berth when the need arises. In front of the sofa is an acrylic coffee table. At the forward end of the settee is a built-in teak cabinet which houses the stereo. Aft on starboard is a single barrel chair in a matching ultra-leather to the sofa and ottoman. Access to the master stateroom is aft on starboard, next the recessed electrical panel. Access to the galley and dinette area is at the forward end of the salon on center line. The salon is beautifully decorated and immaculately kept.
