Valhalla Boatworks has a New Flagship

• By Yachting Staff
• February 28, 2022

Valhalla Boatworks , part of the Viking Yachts family, has unveiled plans for a new flagship model: the Valhalla 55.

Hull No. 1 of the 55-foot center-console is expected to start construction this summer, with the model’s world premiere at the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

“There will be nothing like it,” Viking Yachts President and CEO Pat Healey stated in a press release. “We’re setting a new standard by bringing together the qualities of a large center console and a luxury sportfishing yacht.”

The V-55 will have a 15-foot, 6-inch beam, making it usable as an offshore tournament boat, a high-performance sport yacht, a fish-and-cruise express boat or a superyacht tender.

Power will be four or five 600-horsepower Mercury V-12 Verado outboards.

“The boat was designed and engineered for these engines,” Viking Vice President of Design and Engineering Lonni Rutt stated in the press release. “We developed a transom and structure to support the weight and horsepower. We prepared for—and are working with—the technology rather than adapting to it.”

A few more Valhalla 55 specs: It will hold 1,200 gallons of fuel, will have space for a Seakeeper 9 gyrostabilizer, will have two 65-gallon live wells, will be laid out with as many as nine forward-facing chairs, will have a standard Zipwake Dynamic Trim-Control System, and will have 6 feet, 10 inches of headroom in the cabin.

Viking's Game-Changing Fleet of Center Consoles

Since its inception in 2019, Valhalla Boatworks (VBW) has established itself as the world leader in semi-custom high-performance luxury center consoles. Created, owned and operated by the Viking Yacht Company, the legendary builder of the world’s finest sportfishing yachts, Valhalla Boatworks offers seven center consoles from 28 to 55 feet in its game-changing V Series.

Like the Viking fleet, the V-33, V-37, V-41, V-46, V-55 and the V-55 Sport deliver unmatched performance, engineering, comfort, quality and fishing capabilities. The V Series center consoles thrive as hard-core fishing boats, fun family sport cruisers or luxury yacht tenders. The recently announced V-28 and V-29 will also provide unmatched capability and accommodations.

The V Series is the result of the cooperative effort of the Viking Design & Engineering team and Michael Peters Yacht Design (MPYD). The V Series utilizes MPYD’s patented Stepped-V Ventilated Tunnel running surface that reduces drag while increasing speed, stability and efficiency.

“It’s the most advanced and proven stepped-hull design in the world,” says Viking Design Manager David Wilson. “The twin steps and tunnel not only give you fast and efficient performance but also precise handling and a very stable ride.”

The design traits of Viking convertibles can be seen throughout these center consoles. Proud bows, gently sloping S-shaped sheers, double forward chines, helm pods, raised toe rails and mezzanine seating are some of the hallmarks. Viking engineering and mechanical prowess shine through, with customized Seakeeper installations that maintain storage or deck space and mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems designed and built to unprecedented levels. You’ll be hard pressed to find a center console with a higher level of fit and finish than a Valhalla.

The same resources of Viking’s vertically integrated company are at the disposal of Valhalla Boatworks owners, so standard and custom components and systems of each build such as hardtops, marlin or gap towers and electronics packages are being designed and installed in-house by our experienced shipwrights to guarantee turnkey delivery. Hardtop packages can be loaded with top-shelf components in flawless installations.

Valhalla Boatworks offers outboards from both Mercury and Yamaha in twin, triple or quad applications depending on the model. The efficiency of the stepped-hull design combined with the advanced outboard technology provide best-in-class speed, fuel economy and range. Low engine-noise and vibration levels, electronic power steering and optional joystick helm control systems with GPS station-keeping make operating your V Series an enjoyable, stress-free experience.

Bottom Line: The V Series stands out as a truly unique fleet of center consoles in a market saturated with similarity.

Please contact Valhalla Boatworks for more information about any of these models.
