Valhalla Boatworks: Five Years of Breakneck Growth and Innovation
Back in 2019, Viking leveraged their intense passion for sportfish yacht design and construction into an all-new premium center console brand when they announced three Valhalla Boatworks models at the Viking/Valhalla VIP Boat Show. It came as quite a surprise to the public at-large, but by this time, plugs for the new hulls were already being precision cut by Viking’s 5-axis router, and perfected by their team of shipwrights. Plus, several of the first hulls were already spoken for by owners and dealers in-the-know, such as Bluewater and some long-standing customers.
Fast forward five years and the progress and growth by Valhalla has been incredible. A year after introducing the V-46, the flagship of the fleet is now a 55-foot mega center console boasting 3,000 horsepower when equipped with five Mercury V12 outboards. Accommodations are available for five in an expansive cabin area complete with a full galley. The yacht-grade finished mechanical space below deck is reminiscent of her sportfish convertible brethren.
