The forward VIP stateroom features a walk around queen bed with en-suite head.

The galley is set up for gourmet cooking. It includes extra storage and a full Gaggenau oven. The granite counter has a 7" overhang for bar stools and the dinette table and settee are larger to seat more guests comfortably.
The salon is ideal for entertaining with the large L-shaped sofa, custom wood ottoman with a large storage capacity, and the "pop-up" 42" flatscreen TV.
Access to the enclosed flybridge is easy from the salon via a spiral stairway or a ladder from the cockpit. Running the boat from the enclosed bridge is like being in a second salon / living room. The bridge has an L-shaped settee, teak cocktail table and two bench seats with a Stidd chair at the helm. There is also a compact office area complete with printer shelf, desk for computer, file cabinet and everything necessary to conduct business.
Above the enclosed bridge is an open flybridge with a center console helm, teak helm pod with single lever controls with thruster buttons in the handles, two teak ladder back helm chairs, bench seating on both sides and seating for two in front of the helm console. A custom hardtop was fabricated for the skybridge.
The cockpit features Viking's famous mezzanine seating for maximum comfort and there is a TV hookup for watching the big game. The teak covering boards, cockpit and mezzanine deck complete the custom look.
