The Viking Yacht Company has celebrated four and a half decades in business building luxury performance sportfishing and cruising yachts. Started by brothers Bob and Bill Healey in 1964 when they bought Peterson-Viking Builders, a small, struggling New Jersey builder of 37-foot, wooden sportfishing boats, Viking Yachts has grown to become a world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production with over 4,000 Vikings delivered.
Lead Not Follow
Viking raises the bar front by incorporating the best in design and performance. Powder-coated structural steel engine beds isolate vibration and ensure drive train alignment. The Delta-T hull-side mounted ventilation system keeps the engineroom dry and combustion and propulsion noise levels low. From technical advancements like underwater exhaust systems and tank testing to designer touches like curved doorways and exquisite joinery, Vikings are the epitome of luxury and seagoing excellence.
See for yourself why Viking craftsmanship and blue-water performance are the standards by which other boats are judged. Please contact your Viking dealer to arrange a factory tour and sea trial at your convenience and experience the “Viking Difference.”
When the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida, opened in 2002, the plan was simple. Knowing that 70 percent of Viking Yacht owners pass through the Palm Beach area in the course of a year, we felt the time was ripe to provide our owners with a convenient location featuring every modern amenity a boat owner might need to maintain the yacht in Bristol fashion. Additionally, we wanted to have a central location for Viking warranty work, and above all deliver a level of service that made the boatyard experience a pleasurable one.
We also knew that it would take more than talk or a name change to bring our vision to fruition. So, after purchasing the Old Slip Marina, we set about turning the idea into reality. To make it happen, new floating docks were installed, a new 150-ton Travelift was purchased and a 125-foot by 150-foot open end building with 50 feet of overhead clearance for tower boats was built. A three-story building also was constructed with service bays and office space. The response was immediate and the yard quickly gained a reputation for its excellent service and commitment to owner satisfaction. With sister companies, Atlantic Marine Electronics and Palm Beach Towers on the premises, the Viking Service Center became a one-stop solution for routine maintenance, engine and generator overhauls, major renovations, mechanical, carpentry, fiberglass and electrical reparations. With our skilled shipwrights and Viking trained technicians we could serve our owners the best way we knew how: the Viking way.

In just a few short weeks, the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show gets under way at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center and once again the Viking Yacht Company will feature a huge and spectacular display of the world's best sportfishing convertible yachts from 42 to 82 feet.
Since 1964, Viking has used the Lauderdale venue for showcasing new models and this year's exposition is no different as the New Gretna, New Jersey, yacht manufacturer will premiere the Viking 55 Convertible. Launched in mid-summer, this will be the inaugural appearance of the exciting 55 Convertible, which already has earned rave reviews from the marine press. With twin V12 MAN 1550 CRM diesels, the 55 rips to a top speed of 41 knots. The three-stateroom, two-head layout provides a superb accommodation plan, and the 151 square-foot cockpit is packed with tournament mettle.
The 55 Convertible will be joined by 12 more Vikings comprising our complete line-up from the 42 Open to the flagship 82 Convertible. Also available for your personal viewing pleasure will be a 76 Open Bridge Convertible with MTU power; and a 70 Open Bridge and a 70 Enclosed Bridge Convertible, both with MTU power. Four Caterpillar powered Vikings will be on display including a pair of 66 Open Bridge Convertibles, and a 60 Open Bridge and a 60 Enclosed Bridge. In addition to the 55 Convertible debuting in Ft. Lauderdale, other MAN powered boats will be a 50 Convertible and a 46 Convertible. A 42 Convertible and a 42 Open each with Cummins diesels matched to the Zeus pod-drive propulsion system will round out the impressive Viking exhibit on D-dock, space 432.
Announcements also will be made by the Viking sales team concerning the new 92 Convertible and 72 Motor Yacht currently in development. In addition to the Viking sales team and our domestic and international dealer principals, representatives from Viking subsidiaries, Atlantic Marine Electronics, Palm Beach Towers and the Viking Yacht Service Center will be on hand to answer questions and provide information about their marine products and services.
