PBT and AME Celebrate 20 Years

Palm Beach Towers (PBT) and Atlantic Marine Electronics (AME) have been instrumental in the swift rise of Valhalla Boatworks (VBW). With these two Viking subsidiaries – which are both celebrating their 20th anniversary – VBW is able to deliver turnkey-ready Valhallas personalized to each owner’s liking. It’s this vertical integration that helps separate the V Series from other center consoles.

Since their establishment by Viking President and CEO Pat Healey, PBT and AME have become the outright leaders in their respective industries. “They are the best in the world at what they do,” says Pat. “They have been a huge part of the Viking Marine Group’s growth and our ability to deliver the finest boats in the industry. Their quality, expertise, innovation, attention to detail and customer service are second to none.” Above: The Valhalla 55’s helm and its trio of 22-inch Garmin displays.

Each company grew quickly, establishing operations in both New Gretna and at the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida. Palm Beach Towers General Manager Drew McDowell (left) and AME General Manager Todd Tally (right) have been on the job since the inception of each subsidiary and have fostered their growth and success.

With the introduction of VBW in 2019, PBT and AME are busier than ever, working together to build a better boat every day.

All Valhallas with PBT towers receive custom AME installations, such as the V-37 Jenny B (above), which features a marlin tower and custom sound and lighting system installed from AME.
