1998 Viking Princess Sport Cruiser "DIFFERENT DRUMMER"

• The Viking Princess Motor Yacht 50 is a wonderful design with the comfort for living aboard indefinately. Her exterior is welcoming and can accommodate large gatherings. Her large swim platform makes entering the vessel easy and walks one into her large cockpit with built-in bench seat aft and room for additional chairs. Steps both port and starboard lead to her side decks and to the foredeck. High stainless steel side rails as well as stainless steel handrails make walking forward feel safe and secure. Built-in steps lead to her extremely large flybridge area with built-in U-shaped seating to starboard and double wide helm seat on port with a full enclosure. Day Fridge at the aft end of the seating area.
• One enters the Salon from the cockpit thru sliding glass door. The salon wraps you in comfort with new (Nov. 2025) carpet, U-shaped couch to starboard and table. Opposite to port is a settee. Lovely Ultra-leather beige cushions and high gloss cherry cabinetry add to her warmth below. Aft to port is the entertainment center with large flat screen TV. The engine room access is via hatches in the main salon floor for ease in maintenance. Curtains port and starboard for privacy. All the way forward is the inside helm to starboard with double seat. Visibility is excellent from both the Flybridge as well as the inside helm with large wrap around windows.
• Down a couple of steps is the Galley to port followed by a large L-shaped dinette with table. Moving forward and to starboard is the guest cabin with 2 twin beds and lockers. Access to the wiring under the helm is via the aft bulkhead which makes for easy access to the well organized wiring. Guest head has vanity with sink and storage, head and separate shower stall. All the way forward is the Master Stateroom with center line queen berth, outboard storage, overhead hatch, hanging locker and private head. Head is larger than the guest head with a larger separate shower stall.
• She is light and bright below deck and so welcoming. If you are searching for a comfortable vessel to cruise or live-aboard the Viking Princess Sport Cruiser has everything you need. Her Onan generator 15 KW will run everything as if you were plugged into shore power. She is designed as a capable vessel with more than enough speed and well built to deal with the unexpected. Different Drummer has proven herself for over 20 years and is ready to take her next owners on their adventure of a lifetime.

She is designed with a U-shaped galley that is down a couple of steps from the salon but still open to the salon allowing one to be social with their guests. Here too it is wrapped in high gloss cherry cabinetry and adjoins an L-shaped dinette just forward of the galley allowing for separate dining. Abundant light is provided from the windshield as this area is open to the salon.
