Viking Yachts

Viking Yachts was founded in 1964 when brothers Bob Healey and Bill Healey purchased a small, struggling New Jersey boat builder known as Peterson-Viking Builders. What started as a modest operation has grown into one of the world’s premier manufacturers of semi-custom fiberglass sportfishing yachts.

Today, Viking remains family-led, with the Healey family continuing to guide the company’s vision and operations—maintaining the same commitment to quality, innovation, and American craftsmanship that has defined the brand for more than 60 years.

Viking Yachts has earned its reputation as the premier manufacturer of luxury sportfishing yachts ranging from 46 to 90 feet. With more than six decades of innovation, Viking is widely considered the gold standard in performance, craftsmanship, and engineering. Their long-standing mantra—building a better boat every day—drives continuous improvements in hull design, propulsion systems, onboard technology, and luxury finishes.

At Delmarva Marine Group, we work closely with serious anglers and luxury-minded boaters who appreciate Viking’s balance of tournament-winning performance and refined comfort. Whether you’re chasing billfish offshore or cruising with family, Viking delivers a level of quality few builders can match.

Both Viking and Hatteras Yachts are respected American builders. However, Viking has led the sportfishing segment since 1964, consistently pushing advancements in hull efficiency, weight reduction, fishability, and in-house manufacturing.

Viking’s vertically integrated production model allows them to control nearly every aspect of the build process, resulting in unmatched quality and consistency. At Delmarva Marine Group, many of our clients ultimately choose Viking for its performance pedigree, resale strength, and relentless commitment to refinement.

Yes. Valhalla Boatworks is a sister company to Viking Yachts. Valhalla produces high-performance luxury center consoles that carry the same engineering standards, fit and finish, and offshore capability Viking is known for.

For Mid-Atlantic boaters working with Delmarva Marine Group, Valhalla offers a versatile alternative for owners seeking center console performance backed by Viking craftsmanship.

A late-model 92 Viking can start around $10 million on the brokerage market, depending on year and specifications. The former 92 model has since been succeeded by the 90 Convertible, designed in response to updated IMO Tier III emissions standards.

For current pricing, build slots, and availability, Delmarva Marine Group provides personalized guidance based on your configuration preferences and timeline.

New Viking models in the 50- to mid-50-foot range typically range from approximately $3 million to over $5 million, depending on model, engine package, and custom options. For example, the 54 Convertible starts above $3.6 million, while the 58 Convertible begins above $4.4 million (base pricing).

Because Viking yachts are semi-custom builds, final pricing varies significantly. Delmarva Marine Group works closely with clients to outline specifications and provide transparent cost guidance throughout the build process.

The newest generation launched in 2025 and was officially introduced at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
