Viking 255

Price starting from £0

Description

The Viking 255 was given life from the development of the best-selling river cruiser, the Viking 24. This 4 berth family cruiser is perfect for making memories sailing down the UK’s most picturesque rivers, where you can really relax and take in your surroundings.

The 255 has some tweaks to its relative to include a moulded bathing platform, transom door and flat level access aboard from the bank side. The core features include an open plan galley saloon, complete with a dining area, exceptional headroom throughout and large windows to let the natural light flood in. All cabins and adaptive lounge areas are incredibly comfortable and will give you the best nights sleep you’ve had on the water.

All Viking boats are reliable, comfortable and easy to use, so this would be among the best boats to begin boating with. There is also plenty of space for everything and everyone you need.

The Viking 255 is fitted with a 30hp EFI ELPT Mariner outboard motor, however Viking River Cruisers come with a huge selection of options for engine size and internal layout to best suit you and your family.
