{"id":844,"count":5,"description":"The Viking 44, as represented in the available listings, is a mid-1980s motoryacht offered in both conventional motor yacht and sundeck motoryacht configurations. Examples from 1984 and 1988 show a consistent accommodation philosophy: a two\u2011stateroom, two\u2011head arrangement with a full\u2011beam master stateroom aft and a forward guest stateroom. One listing specifies a centerline queen berth in the aft master, indicating a layout that prioritizes a spacious primary cabin on the vessel\u2019s stern.\n\nOn the 1988 sundeck example, the vessel is fitted with both an aftdeck hardtop and a flybridge hardtop, creating expanded sheltered exterior living spaces. The same boat\u2019s interior appointments noted in the listing include an ensuite head with an enclosed shower for the full\u2011beam master and a forward guest stateroom with its own ensuite and enclosed shower, suggestive of privacy and convenience for extended cruising or liveaboard use. Interior personalization is also documented: a custom mural and an electric fireplace are installed in the salon on that example, reflecting the range of owner refits possible on these hulls.\n\nListings characterize the Viking 44 as suitable for liveaboard use, with one example described as an economical liveaboard option in a Keys environment and another recommended as a candidate for the Great Loop. These recommendations align with the twin\u2011stateroom, twin\u2011head arrangement and sheltered deck spaces, which commonly support extended time aboard by offering separate sleeping areas, enclosed sanitary facilities, and protected outdoor areas.\n\nInformation in the listings focuses on accommodation layout and deck configurations rather than mechanical or performance data. For prospective owners or brokers evaluating this model, the documented features\u2014full\u2011beam aft master with centerline queen, two heads with enclosed showers, sizeable aftdeck hardtop and flybridge hardtop, and salon customization\u2014are the primary, listing\u2011supported factors to consider when assessing suitability for liveaboard use or extended cruising such as the Great Loop.","link":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/brand\/viking-44\/","name":"Viking 44","slug":"viking-44","taxonomy":"brand","parent":843,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/brand"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/843"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reference?brand=844"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yachts-for-sale?brand=844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
