V50 Express

A cutting-edge yacht in her day, the Viking V50 is a finely crafted Med yacht with more interior volume and elbow room than most European sportboats her size. Like her sisterships in the Viking Sport Cruisers fleet, she rides on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull with a relatively wide beam and shallow prop pockets to reduce draft. Her elegant cherrywood interior includes two double cabins with en suite heads, a concealed galley, and a plush U-shaped dinette in the salon. Both heads contain stall showers, and privacy doors—not curtains—separate both staterooms from the main cabin. Contoured seating topside provides seating for six in the cockpit, and a three-person sun pad aft rises at the touch of a button to reveal a tender garage below. Note that a machinery space behind the engine room houses the generator, batteries and steering gear. Additional features include a teak cockpit sole, a drop-down double helm seat, wet bar with refrigerator, radar arch, windshield washers, and a well-arranged engine room with good access to the motors. Twin 610hp Volvo diesel inboards cruise the Viking V50 Express at 28 knots and reach a top speed of 32–33 knots.
