Our sister company, Valhalla Boatworks, is busy completing its latest new model - the 55 Sport Yacht. She's at the end of the production line in New Gretna, and that's where we caught up with Viking President and CEO Pat Healey for a much-anticipated build update of hull No. 1. Built with the same high levels of quality, engineering, fit and finish, the Valhalla 55 SY will establish new standards for a fast-and-fun performance yacht.

She's extremely versatile, perfect for exhilarating day trips, extended cruising and getaways to picturesque destinations for unforgettable on-the-water experiences. Pat gives you a tour, calling out key features including the forward lounge, cockpit balconies, pilothouse (with sliding doors and innovative helm) overnight accommodations with two staterooms and much more.

The sport yacht features the V-55 center console's renowned patented double-stepped hull with a ventilated tunnel, ensuring speed, stability and efficiency. Hull No. 1's first sea trial is scheduled for mid-May, ahead of her debut at the Viking and Valhalla Sea Trial Event from June 4 in Atlantic City. Our industry-leading offerings from both the Viking and Valhalla fleets will also be in the water.

For more information, please reach out to your authorized Viking or Valhalla dealer.
