The Viking VIP Event just ended and we are already looking forward to the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show coming at the end of October. After spending two days with the Viking team, our customers, and all of the great vendors that attended, there is a tremendous amount of excitement about the new models making their debut at the show.
"The Viking Yachts display is always a highlight no matter what," said Rich Lucas, Viking brand manager for SI Yachts. "This year though you have the new Valhalla Boatworks center-consoles coming out which are nothing short of incredible. You have some really great owner/operator boats at the smaller end of the model range in the Billfish series. These are all fun boats that everyone can enjoy where you don't need a captain."
The Viking 46 Billfish Stole The Show
If you loved the style of the new 38 Billfish, but wanted something slightly larger then look no further than the all-new Viking 46 Billfish. The 140 square foot cockpit has room enough for all your friends and family to fish and even features Viking's mezzanine seating. The 46 Billfish is powered with twin MAN I6-800 CRM 800HP engines (optional) for a top speed of 38 knots and a nice cruise of 30 knots. Standard engines are twin Cummins QSM11 715 HP's. As with all Vikings, the accommodations are top of the line with high-gloss teak cabinetry, full galley with Corian countertop, and a spacious private cabin with queen-sized berth. Catch the new Viking 46 Billfish at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show for the first time to the public.
The Viking 38 Open Billfish Combines The Best Of Everything
With the new Viking 38 Open Billfish, the design team combined the fun, sporty functionality of the Billfish series with the versatile command deck of the open express style models. The 38 Open Billfish has a raised centerline command station for excellent visibility and the new Cummins Inboard Joystick system offers an entirely new level of confidence when navigating a busy marina or in close proximity to docks. Accommodations include a fully equipped galley, climate-controlled seating area, and a cabin with a double berth under a top, single bunk. The 38O is powered with twin Cummins QSB6.7 550HP diesels for a 30 knot cruise and a 36 knot top speed. Come see the new 38 Open Billfish at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show!
All Three Valhalla Center-Consoles Were On Display
"When these Valhalla center-consoles hit the market and people see just how high in quality they actually are," continued Rich. "You might think there's not much difference in big center-consoles, but the way these boats ride with the twin steps and tunnel hull is just incredible. You can really take hard turns so easily."
All three Valhalla Boatworks models were available to sea trial - the V-41, V-37, and V-33 - which means all three will be at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show! From the fit-and-finish inside the boat to the maneuverability to the comfortable guest seating, the experience on each of the Valhalla boats is nothing short of world-class. The open new build slots are being taken fast so give us a call today if you have any interest in being one of the first to own a Valhalla.
