1998 VIKING 46 Sports Cruiser

Built by Viking in 1998, this 46 Sports Cruiser is a 14.02-metre motor yacht that offers a practical and well-thought-out combination of interior comfort and open-water capability. With twin Volvo inboard diesel engines producing 430 horsepower each, the yacht delivers reliable and capable performance for coastal and offshore cruising.

The interior is organised across three cabins and two heads, providing a comfortable layout for family or group use. The main salon features a U-shaped couch and a helm station, with a port-side galley conveniently integrated into the living space. Sleeping accommodation includes a forward V-berth master cabin, two single berths to starboard, and bunk berths to port. Entertainment is well covered throughout, with a Clarion music player in the main area, a Sony unit in the forward cabin, a JVC television and DVD player in the main cabin, and a Samsung television in the master cabin. Navigation electronics include a Garmin 276C and a RayMarine E80 autopilot at the cabin helm station, a Garmin GPSMap 5212 on the flybridge, and multiple VHF radios including a Shipmate RS8400, a Standard Horizon on the flybridge, and a handheld unit aft. Additional equipment includes a watermaker, a 9kW Onan Marine generator with approximately 3,600 hours, and an anchor windlass.

This yacht is well suited to a buyer looking for a capable and self-sufficient cruising vessel for extended coastal passages or family use. The three-cabin layout makes it a practical choice for couples or small families, while the onboard watermaker and generator support greater autonomy. Recent maintenance work completed in October 2023 adds reassurance, and includes antifouling, topsides polishing, new zincs, engine and generator servicing, heat exchanger cleaning, new batteries, a new battery charger, a new anchor windlass motor, a new freezer and cover, and a full air-conditioning service.
