Description
This immaculate and beautifully presented VIKING 300 represents the best value for money pre-owned Viking 300 available in the UK today. First lifted-in from the factory in March 2023, this fabulous river cruiser is powered by a 50hp Honda outboard - a valuable and useful upgrade to the usual factory fitted Mariner 40hp. Ideal for enjoying a few hours cruising on your favourite stretch of water entertaining friends and family, to weeks of self-sufficient holiday cruising in a luxury environment, this beautiful vessel is hard to beat.
Exterior - The hull and upper deck are of GRP and in excellent condition finished in resplendent white with black trim lines. The hull below the water line is painted black and has the benefit of a recent coating of hard anti-foul protection. There is ample provision for fenders, mooring lines and a locker on the foredeck for additional storage - presently used for housing the anchor chain and warps. A radio aerial sits on the top deck together with a powerful LED searchlight controlled remotely from the cockpit - an additional feature to the standard spec. There are two large swim platforms to either side of the engine. A central swing door in the transom provides access into the cockpit. Bow thruster with joystick control, separate battery & isolator.
Interior - Entry on either side of the craft provides access to a generous cockpit area comprising the helm position on the reversible bench seat for 2 pilots with a second seat across the companion way to a single navigator's position. The foldable windscreen is served by two windscreen wipers ahead of both seating positions - yet another upgrade from the standard equipment. A 12V socket and 2 x USB sockets are provided at the helm. Switch gear for nav. Lights, cockpit lighting, wipers and water pump are to the left of the helm.
Navigation: Lowrance Elite 7 Fish Finder and GPS navigator with NMEA2000 connectivity, and Lowrance VHF with DSC incorporated at the helm.
There is seating around both sides of the cockpit and across the transom door, the latter providing access to the two large swim platforms either side of the engine. A second fridge (an upgrade from the standard fit) is found under the navigators seat.
Under-seating lockers provide storage for equipment, gas, 3 batteries / charger and fuel supply. The lazarette beneath the cockpit floor is a cavernous storage space that will accommodate luggage, folding bicycles and is home to the 90 ltr. potable water tank, with external fill point for easy servicing.
The companion way leads down 3 steps to the superbly comfortable and well appointed saloon and galley, with flooring in an easy-to-clean faux teak finish. Semi-partitioning and tables are of solid wood as are the galley fittings and fixtures. A full length wardrobe is to the port side together with another fridge and space above with 3-pin power for a microwave. A combined TV / DVD is attached to the rear bulkhead and accessed via remote control. Audio entertainment is from an integral Fusion radio with Bluetooth connectivity which can be controlled via the Lowrance screen in the cockpit via an NMEA2000 bridge connection. Heads, with a vanity sink, shower and Thetford toilet are to starboard, with a full length mirror outside the door.
The galley is well equipped with 2 gas burners, sink and a Thetford gas oven & grill. Ample cupboard storage is provided beneath the marbelesque work surface.
The ceiling is of a suede finish with curtains to match, and has 8 touch control flush mounted LED lighting. Additional lighting is provided by 3 touch-sensitive control reading lights which incorporate a blue night-light setting.
Sleeping for up to 6 is provided. A double berth beneath the cockpit floor and accessed via the salon is comfortable, with natural light and night lighting for reading. The table seating converts to a bed for 2 and the forward V also accommodates sleeping space for 2 together with reading lights. Three double sockets, each with 2 USB sockets are found in the saloon.
All fenders and warps and ropes included.
