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.

The Viking Key West Challenge blends tournament fishing with festive celebrations in a tropical paradise. In its 11th year, the event is held exclusively for Viking and Valhalla owners.

The Viking Key West Challenge (VKWC) is a one-of-a-kind tournament that mixes competitive fishing with a fun, family-friendly vibe, making it a blast for everyone. The event is all about having a good time and keeping things relaxed in the Key West boating and fishing scene.

There’s nothing quite like a boat show. You can touch, feel and see your favorite Viking models up close. The next best option? A 360-degree virtual tour that lets you explore virtually every square inch of the boat. We invite you to click on the image above to take a look at the new Viking 74. From the engineroom and tuna tower to the cockpit and interior accommodations, it’s all waiting for you.

Congratulations to Team Galati for a 2nd Place Overall finish at the Signature Triple Crown series in Los Suenos, Costa Rica. Captain Tony Carrizosa led the team through three tournaments, releasing an incredible 186 billfish (four marlin and 182 sailfish) aboard the Viking 64.

Today, we celebrate our 61st anniversary. Brothers Bill and Bob Healey founded Viking on April 1, 1964, starting with just an unheated shed with dirt floors on the banks of the Bass River. By adhering to our mantra of building a better boat every day, we have risen to the top of the marine industry as the leading manufacturer of semi-custom sportfishing yachts and high-performance outboard boats, all produced in a combined 1 million square feet of manufacturing space. Always moving forward, Viking has grown into a family of eight companies within the Viking Marine Group, all still owned and operated by the Healey family.

Congratulations to Viking President and CEO Pat Healey for receiving the International Game Fish Association’s Gil Keech Heavy Tackle Award for excellence in heavy-tackle angling. Under Pat’s leadership, “Viking remains at the forefront of the industry, producing world-class sportfishing yachts designed for tournament competition,” according to the association. "As an accomplished angler, Healey has competed at the highest levels of offshore fishing." He is a three-time winner of The International Masters Angling Tournament, securing consecutive victories in 2011 and 2012, and won the prestigious John Rybovich Award again in 2023.

We expanded our presence at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show by hosting, for the first time, a separate manufacturer display alongside the exhibition of long-standing partner HMY Yacht Sales. Above and below (from left to right): the Viking 64, 68 and 74.

The inaugural IGFA Open made a spectacular debut at Marina Pez Vela in Quepos, Costa Rica, with 988 billfish released. After an intense competition, the Viking 64 Team Galati claimed the top spot including an incredible 48 sailfish releases on Day 2 alone. Captained by Tony Carrizosa, Team Galati’s anglers – Sean Dooley, Carmine Galati, Thomas Garmany, Justin Healey and Pat Healey – released a total of 81 sailfish. Team Galati is red hot – they are in 2nd Place Overall in the 2025 Los Suenos Triple Crown heading into the final leg that begins next week.

If you want to take a deep dive into the design, build and performance of the Viking 64, we’ve got you covered – and then some. Please click on the image above for our overall model video. Also, click here for a Video Showcase featuring the evolution of the 64, a Viking that has rapidly become a legend in its own time.

Get ready for the Palm Beach International Boat Show, which begins in less than one week. Come see the Viking and Valhalla fleets for the biggest and best show yet – now extended to five days! Our world-class fleet will be displayed in water between ramps 3 and 4 from March 19 through 23. Be sure to visit our display (shown above during the set-up process) with over a dozen of the hottest boats on the market. For more information, contact your authorized Viking or Valhalla dealer.

To borrow a phrase from one of our Viking owners, “Nothing Raises Fish Like a Viking Yacht!” This holds true no matter the model or the location – from the Atlantic canyons to the Dominican Republic (DR) to Costa Rica and beyond. Our demo team flexed their muscles in the DR this winter, ripping through an epic 20-day stretch of fishing the Viking 68.

Captain Tony Carrizosa led the Viking 64 Team Galati to a win during Leg II of the Signature Triple Crown in Los Suenos, Costa Rica. The A-list team released three marlin and 63 sailfish for the victory. This puts Team Galati in 2nd place going into the final leg which begins March 26. Let’s fire up some popcorn!

Merging form and function, the Viking 74’s salon stands out as an attractive living space that is inviting, comfortable and modern. An abundance of natural light highlights the horizontal grain walnut, while the overhead strip LED lights create a discreetly warm atmosphere. The interior design includes three separate gathering areas that are open to each other.

Big fish stories have defined captain Chase Lake’s sportfishing journey, marking both highs and lows. Back in 2016, Chase endured what seemed like a huge disappointment. He was fishing with friends on the Viking 54 Rise Up during the Orange Beach Billfish Classic. A 771-pound blue marlin was hooked in the tournament’s final minutes but missed the weigh-in by less than two minutes.
