Extensive updates throughout this vessel.  Originally designed, built and marketed in England as the Princess 46, this yacht was imported and branded in the U.S. as the Viking 46 through a joint venture with Princess Yachts. Extraordinarily high-quality construction, superb joiner work with beautiful fit and finish of a level rarely seen in American production yachts.  

Three staterooms, two heads, a spacious main salon, cockpit and flybridge, all combine to produce a gracious entertaining environment. The flybridge is easily accessed by a built-in stairwell. Re-powered with CAT 3126 engines with less than 500 hours, she has a max speed of approximately 30 knots and will cruise economically in the low 20s. Recently serviced, this is a tidy boat ready for your cruising enjoyment.  Easy to see at South Lake Union. "Owner says offers encouraged!" Reduced again!
