It is with great sorrow that we announce that William “Bill” J. Healey of Cape May and Mays Landing, N.J., passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Aug. 14, 2025, at Shore Medical Center in Somers Point, N.J. He was 97.

For five straight years, a Viking has captured the Gulf Coast Triple Crown Championship – a run that stands as one of the most impressive in big-game fishing. So, anticipation was sky high heading into this year’s event. Could a Viking do it again? All eyes turned to the four-tournament series that defines Gulf sportfishing supremacy.

Inside New Jersey’s Absecon Inlet, the fleet idles in loose formation. Viking dealers, staff and business partners gather on the rooftop of the Golden Nugget – drinks in hand, lining the rail to take in the view. One by one, the boats parade past the Coast Guard station, glide between the finger piers of the Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina and ease toward the bulkhead – each getting its moment in the spotlight at our annual dealer meeting and sea trial event in Atlantic City last month.

The Blue Marlin Grand Championship brought in more than 100 catches, but the stars of the show were the blue marlin. Greg Abrams, fishing on the Viking 64 Easy Trigger, reeled in the 2nd Heaviest Blue Marlin of the tournament with a 645.8-pound fish. Less than a pound shy was Cole Play’s Dale Cole and his 3rd Place 645.6-pounder. Cole, fishing on a Viking 58, said, “It was five hours fighting the fish. It was a job!”

The Viking 90 is the ultimate in big-boat performance, fishability and luxury. Available in three distinct models – Open Bridge (above), Enclosed Bridge and Sky Bridge – it represents the pinnacle of Viking design, engineering and quality.

Southern Charm-All In has repeated as the 2025 Florida Panhandle Billfish Series Champion. Gregg Trenor’s Viking 62, with captain Landon Bell behind the wheel, won the inaugural series crown in 2024. This year, the team released three blue marlin in the Pensacola International Billfish Tournament with Gregg on the rod. In the next leg, the Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic (above), Ron Davis landed the winning blue marlin weighing 654.6 pounds, and Gregg added a blue release.

The Viking 68 Convertible isn’t just a standout in our lineup – it’s a proven performer with a layout and features that set it apart from everything in its class. The 68 in this Viking View has immediate availability. The exterior makes a statement with Viking’s unmistakable profile, a Kingston Grey gelcoat and a faux teak toe rail.

From Billfish to Sky Bridge, from 46 to 82 feet, the basin is packed with nearly every model we build. You’ll see convertibles, enclosed and open bridge yachts, sport towers, sport coupes and the first Valhalla 55 Sport Yacht. It’s a snapshot of a company designing for every customer – and building a better boat every day.

Take a look at these new running shots of the Viking 74 – a bold display of speed, style and tournament-tested muscle. With a top end exceeding 45 knots, this battlewagon charges through the ocean with confidence and authority.

Captain Sean Dooley led his Viking 74 team to 2nd Place Billfish Release and 2nd Place Blue Marlin Release at the 3rd annual HMY Lowcountry Cup out of Charleston, South Carolina. The team of Thomas “Smalls” Garmany, Justin Healey, Pat Healey, Ryan Higgins and Drew McDowell released three blue marlin and six sailfish while weighing a dolphin and blackfin tuna.

The 82 Sky Bridge in motion – sleek, assertive and unmistakably Viking. Built to turn heads and chase pelagics with style and authority. Five staterooms and six heads.

This past week, we hosted our Viking and Valhalla Dealer Meeting in Atlantic City, New Jersey. During the meeting, Viking President and CEO Pat Healey said, “We have the greatest product in the industry – Viking Yachts, Valhalla Boatworks and Princess Yachts America.” He went on to recap a year in review as well as a look at what’s to come. Pat closed his portion by reinforcing to the crowd the importance of “Building a Better Boat Every Day” – the Viking mantra created by his father, Co-founder Bill Healey. “We outperform all our competition. It’s what we do.”

The Valhalla 55 Sport Yacht makes her highly anticipated debut in Atlantic City, New Jersey, today – and it’s more than a new model. It’s a milestone for our 61-year-old company and for Valhalla Boatworks, a Viking subsidiary launched in 2019. With her modern design, unique features and superior quality – including a striking profile, upscale accommodations and cutting-edge technology – the 55 Sport Yacht marks a bold expansion of our innovation, versatility and commitment to building a better boat every day.

Viking proudly introduces the 64 Sport Coupe (SC) – a new model that expands our versatile 64 series with modern design, advanced performance and industry-leading fishability. Built on the proven 64 Convertible hull – with more than 40 delivered – this exciting addition is also available with a Palm Beach Towers (PBT) tuna tower, giving owners two distinct profiles on the same high-performance platform.
