About Valhalla Boatworks
ABOUT VALHALLA BOATWORKS
Viking owners have been asking for years for the company to build a line of center-console boats with many of the same fishing, seating, and performance features that make their sportfish models so desirable. With Valhalla yachts, Viking has created the most popular fishing center-consoles made today. From the unique mezzanine seating to the abundance of rod storage, Valhalla Boatworks yachts have quickly become the new standard from 33 to 55 feet in the center-console market. More than 300 Valhalla boats have been built and delivered, with plenty more sure to come.
"Our clients are thrilled with the versatility that Valhalla boats have to offer," said Jay Hendrix, VP of SI Yachts. "Whether you want to fish offshore or have them as a luxury tender on your motor yacht, there are different customization options and amenities on board that apply to both lifestyles. Valhalla has been a game-changer in the center-console market."
Each Valhalla boat for sale is built with a patented stepped-hull design that is among the most advanced in the world. The twin steps and tunnel allow for higher speed and a more efficient ride along with increased maneuverability. Stepped hulls work by decreasing the surface area that becomes wet during acceleration, thereby reducing the friction that develops between the water and the hull of the boat. The "step" refers to a sudden change in the height of the hull that runs across the vessel from side to side and ends with a notch in each of the sides of the hull. As the center console begins to plane, there is a formation of low pressure aft of the transition that draws in air through the notches in the hull. The result is a boat that is quicker to plane, is faster overall, and can turn with extreme precision.
Traditional Viking design and construction can be found all over each Valhalla yacht, from the bow angles to the sloping S-shaped sheers, double-forward chines, and mezzanine seating.
Every Valhalla Boatworks model is packed with fishing amenities within the design. Owners love the strategically placed rod holders, raised transom live-well, in-deck fish boxes, and abundance of storage for tackle and bait. As with all Vikings, Valhalla Boatworks yachts are equipped with electronics packages from their subsidiary company, AME, and Hardtop, Marlin, and Gap towers from Palm Beach Towers. You can even enjoy custom Seakeeper installations that don't sacrifice deck space or storage.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VIKING VALHALLA YACHTS
WHERE ARE VALHALLA BOATS BUILT?
All Valhalla boats for sale are manufactured by Viking at the Viking Mullica factory on Green Bank Road in Egg Harbor City, NJ, about 12 miles from the main Viking factory in New Gretna. Located right off of the Mullica River, the factory sits on 80 acres and includes more than 88,000 square feet of buildings. The Mullica River eventually connects with the Bass River before eventually ending in the Great Bay near the Atlantic Ocean. Before this factory became where Valhalla boats were built, it was home to Ocean Yachts.
HOW MUCH DOES EACH VALHALLA MODEL COST?
Each Valhalla boat's price depends on the features and specifics of the watercraft. Each boat has a base price with standard equipment, a base package of options, and a premium package of options. Many customization opportunities exist with each center-console to outfit the boat according to your specifications. Final Valhalla boat prices reflect those customizations.
The base price of the Valhalla V-55 is more than $2.8 million when outfitted with the quad Mercury V12 600-HP engines. As desired options are added, such as the Seakeeper, electronics, tower, and other accessories, the price will increase.

The premium package offers other options like a bow thruster and a Seakeeper SK2 gyro.
WHAT KIND OF ELECTRONICS PACKAGE CAN I GET ON MY VIKING VALHALLA YACHT?
The team at Viking knows that boat owners have allegiance to particular brands when it comes to their electronics. That's why anyone building their own Valhalla boat will be allowed to choose between Garmin and Simrad.
The Garmin package is the same for all three Valhalla yacht models and includes the GMR1224XHF2 12kw radar with the 4' array, three GPSMap 8617 devices with 17" display, Reactor 40 autopilot with smart pump, and more. The Simrad package is also the same for all three models and features a TXL-10S-4HD digital radar, NSO EVO3 19" displays, AP44 VRF auto-pilot pack, and much more.
For the sound systems on each Valhalla boat, the entertainment package includes a Fusion touchscreen stereo, SiriusXM tuner, and JL Audio speaker equipment.

ARE VALHALLA BOATWORKS YACHTS MANUFACTURED IN-HOUSE?
Yes, more than 90% of every Valhalla center-console is manufactured at Viking Mullica. This philosophy is no different than with the larger Viking sportfish and motor yachts. By manufacturing the vast majority of the boat in-house, the Viking team can strictly control the quality of every unit delivered. Only the engines and electronics are built elsewhere.
