VIP: The Season’s Premier Event

This boat show season, the Viking & Valhalla VIP is the place to be. There will be no Viking display at the Miami International Boat Show, making the VIP the premier event and your only chance to see Vikings in a boat show setting this winter.


“This is the show that will start the year,” said Viking President and CEO Pat Healey. “No crowds, no lines, no pressure. Just the best boats in the world in one place.” 

Valhalla will be at the Miami International Boat Show, with the 28 to 46 models on display inside the convention center and the V-55 and 55 Sport Yacht in the water at the Miami Beach Marina. 


Located at the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Fla., our Jan. 30-31 VIP is your exclusive opportunity to see the world-class fleets of Viking Yachts and Valhalla Boatworks. Guests will enjoy a relaxed setting and direct access to the people behind the product. 

Sea trials, a vendor village and the entire Viking Marine Group will round out the event. The VIP is RSVP-only, so you must register to attend. Visit our VIP registration page to secure your spot. 

Atlantic Record Winners

Congratulations to the Viking 68 Demo, which set a new Atlantic record with 30 blue marlin releases in a single day. Captain Sean Dooley, fishing out of Marina Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic, went 30 for 35 on Dec. 1 to claim the title, previously held by the Viking 68 Gun Powder with 27 releases.

It took an army to crank in 30 blues, all singles outside of a pair of doubles. Anglers included Viking 64 Half-A-Buc owner Daniel Brown, Harley Smegal, Dominick Shaw, Jose de Veer, Dan Petit and Doug Donahue. Mates West Rivers and Thomas “Smalls” Garmany assisted in the cockpit.

Doug, a Viking Yachts Specialist with HMY Yacht Sales, said he "was fortunate to fish with the crew in Cap Cana last year and release 21 blues. Never in my life did I think we would see those numbers again. Well, I stand corrected. The Viking Demo crew is top-notch.” 

Vision Delivered

Valhalla brought Ron Davis’ vision to life – a personalized sportfish edition of the 55 Sport Yacht built for the way his family fishes and cruises. Ron shares how it all came together in a boat that blends the 360-degree capability of a Valhalla with the comfort and confidence of a Viking.

Don’t miss the 55 Sport Yacht and the rest of the Valhalla and Viking fleets at the 2026 Viking & Valhalla VIP Boat Show. The Jan. 30-31 event is the premier boating exhibition of the winter. For information and to register, click here.
