To start, we go through a deep dive exploration session to find out what your intended use is for the boat – who you’re going to be using it with, where you plan on using it and what you plan on doing with it. After we’ve discovered what you’re looking for in a boat, we’ll prepare a range of suitable boats on the water, ready for you to view, test drive and experience.

Test Drive

Test drive

You must feel comfortable and safe in your boat, which is why we believe the test drive is the most important (and often most overlooked) steps in a buyers boating journey. Once we’ve discovered what kind of boat would best suit you and your boating needs, it’s all about testing the boat on the water and experiencing the ride and handling. We will arrange a selection of boats that match your criteria and arrange a time that suits you to test each boat until you find the perfect fit.

The

Difference

What makes different from other brands

Luxury & Performance

Building a better boat every day has been Viking’s philosophy for over five decades, and this is why Viking leads the industry today in performance, innovation, engineering and luxury. And Viking will also lead tomorrow because its commitment to excellence is reflected in the “Viking Difference.”

Family Business

Brothers Bill and Bob Healey founded the Viking Yacht Company in 1964 and it remains family owned and operated. Bill’s son, Patrick J. Healey, is the CEO and President of the Viking Yacht Company. Both of Pat’s sons, Justin and Sean Healey now are also working in the company and have been heavily involved in spearheading the launch of Valhalla Boatworks. Viking Yachts answers only to its unyielding commitment to build the finest boats money can buy.

Lead Not Follow

In the marine industry, Viking Yachts don’t just raise the bar, they are the bar. Viking incorporates the best in design and performance to manufacture the finest semi-custom yachts in the world. From technical advancements like tank testing and designer touches like curved doorways and exquisite joinery, Vikings are the epitome of luxury and seagoing excellence.
