The Ultimate Event

Start the new year with the season’s ultimate winter boat show experience – the Viking Yachts and Valhalla Boatworks VIP Boat Show. This 30th edition of the exclusive event is set for Jan. 30-31, 2026, at the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Fla.

The VIP brings together every Viking and Valhalla model in one place – a rare opportunity to step aboard the fleets, meet the teams behind them and see the craftsmanship that defines both brands. Our VIP provides you the space and time to explore the boats, free from the crowds of traditional boat shows. 

Boats from 28 to 90 feet will be on display, with factory staff, dealer representatives and product experts on site to walk guests through designs, options and the build process. You can also schedule a sea trial through an authorized dealer.

Register today for this private event. See the best boats in the industry. Be there for the world premiere of the 50 Billfish and the VIP Debut of the 50 Convertible and 55 Sport Yacht.

A Blue for Green

Country music star Riley Green traded the stage for the cockpit this month, releasing his first blue marlin aboard a Viking in Costa Rica. The trip was organized by Galati Yacht Sales. 

Fishing out of the Los Suẽnos Resort and Marina, Riley, a Country Music Association Award winner and Billboard Hit Country Songs chart-topper, was aboard the Burr family's Viking 68 Ohana with Captain Luke Hickey at the helm.


Conditions were rough, but Riley hooked up and was ready for the fight. “It whooped me,” said Riley, who later spent time onboard Ohana with Galati Yacht Sales’ Maria Galati Hill – check it out here.

An avid outdoorsman, Riley is a regular angler on the Viking 70 Smooth Rider, based out of Panama City, Fla. Back at the dock, he asked, “When can we do this again?”

Home Alone – Lost in Viking

Let’s throw it back to our whimsical Christmas video from last year. New guy, Kevin, misses the boat for Christmas vacation and finds himself alone in Viking’s enormous New Gretna production plant. Things quickly turn naughty (not nice) when he realizes two sneaky burglars have their eyes on the facility. Now, it’s up to Kevin to protect Viking!
