1984 Viking 44 Aft Cabin Motoryacht "Fortunate Son"
Some yachts are built simply to get you from one destination to another. Others are built to become a destination in themselves. "Fortunate Son" is firmly in the latter category.
This beautifully maintained 1984 Viking 44 Aft Cabin Motoryacht embodies everything that made Viking one of America's premier yacht builders: robust fiberglass construction, timeless styling, exceptional use of teak joinery, and a remarkably spacious layout that feels far larger than her 44-foot length suggests. Whether your dream is leisurely weekends with family, extended coastal cruising, a Great Loop adventure, or comfortable waterfront living, "Fortunate Son" offers the versatility to do it all.
Step aboard and you'll immediately appreciate the generous accommodations that have made the Viking 44 such a sought-after classic. The expansive aft deck is the perfect gathering place for cocktails at sunset or entertaining friends at the dock, while the large enclosed salon welcomes you with rich custom teak woodwork, abundant natural light, a built-in wet bar with sink, and an inviting L-shaped settee with pull-out sleeper. New salon furnishings in 2025 complement the yacht's warm, traditional character while enhancing onboard comfort.
Below, the all-teak interior continues to impress. The full-beam owner's stateroom aft provides exceptional privacy and comfort, featuring a queen berth, dual dressers, generous hanging lockers, and a private ensuite head with separate shower. Forward, the guest stateroom accommodates family and friends with upper and lower berths plus an additional setup for a third berth, along with private access to the second head. Combined with the salon sleeper, "Fortunate Son" comfortably accommodates extended cruising with multiple guests aboard.
The galley is thoughtfully arranged for serious meal preparation and extended stays, featuring a full-size refrigerator, microwave oven, stainless sink, and electric cooktop. A spacious dining area adjacent to the galley creates a natural gathering place for family dinners or entertaining while underway.
Powered by dependable twin 450 HP Detroit Diesel 6-71TI turbocharged engines with approximately 1,310 hours, "Fortunate Son" delivers the kind of reliability and serviceability that have made these engines legendary among experienced cruisers. The turbos have been rebuilt, stainless-steel risers installed, and the Racor fuel filtration system provides additional confidence for long-distance cruising. A 15kW Westerbeke generator with approximately 1,023 hours, dual reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning systems, and a complete complement of onboard systems make this yacht equally at home on a weekend getaway or an extended voyage.
The current owner has made significant investments to improve both performance and reliability. Major upgrades include replacement of all through-hull fittings, installation of new propellers, custom stainless prop shaft mid-supports, new cutlass bearings, improved rudders for enhanced steering control, a handsome teak swim platform with stainless supports, new main batteries, and numerous additional system improvements. These updates reflect thoughtful ownership and help distinguish "Fortunate Son" from many comparable vintage motoryachts.
For the cruising enthusiast, the yacht is equipped with Garmin GPS/radar, dual VHF radios, anchor windlass with dual control stations, two anchors with dedicated storage, and a forward deck davit rated for 800 pounds. An 10-foot Zeppelin inflatable tender with 15 HP Evinrude outboard is also included, extending your range and making exploration of secluded anchorages effortless.
Perhaps the greatest strength of "Fortunate Son" is her versatility. She is equally suited for:
- The couple planning to complete the Great Loop in comfort and confidence.
- The family seeking a spacious, classic cruiser with room for children and guests.
- The liveaboard owner looking for a warm, inviting floating waterfront home.
- The discerning yachtsman who appreciates the quality and craftsmanship of a traditional Viking-built motor yacht.
Well cared for, thoughtfully upgraded, and offered by an owner who clearly understands the value of preventative maintenance, "Fortunate Son" represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Viking's most respected aft cabin motoryachts. She is ready to continue creating lasting memories for her next owners and is offered for inspection by appointment.
"Fortunate Son" is more than a classic motor yacht—she is an invitation to slow down, cast off the lines, and enjoy the cruising lifestyle that only a yacht of this pedigree can provide.

Our company was founded by Jack Hargrave in 1957 in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to being a Hall of Fame yacht designer best known for his work with builders like Amels, Burger, and Hatteras yachts, Jack Hargrave was also a highly successful yacht broker, as was his father before him. If you are not familiar with our company, Hargrave Yachts is one of the oldest and most respected yacht brokerage firms in the State of Florida. In addition to being a full-service yacht brokerage organization we maintain an in-house service department that our customers rate as 5-Star. When most yacht manufacturers put in their own in-house design and engineering departments we made the decision to begin building yachts in the 65’-200’ size range under the Hargrave brand name in 1997. As we tell all our brokerage clients, "If we can't find the perfect boat for you we'll build it!"
