The 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show got off to a superb start, with the Viking Yachts and Valhalla Boatworks display leading the charge.

The popularity of boating and fishing is at an all-time high, as more and more people discover the family-bonding fun of our sport.

Before the show opened to the public on Wednesday, the best dealer network in the world came together at the Viking/Valhalla tent for a kick-off sales meeting. Led by Viking President and CEO Pat Healey, the gathering began with a video sneak peek of hull No. 1 of the V-55 slicing and dicing its way through its first sea trial.

We'll be holding a special event in the early part of December for dealers and owners at our Riviera Beach, Florida, waterfront facility to showcase the boat. Stayed tuned for more details! The V-55 will then make her world premiere at our Viking Yachts and Valhalla Boatworks VIP event, Feb. 3-4, followed by the Miami International Boat Show, Feb. 15-19.

The Viking fleet at FLIBS - the largest in-water boat show in the world - includes yachts from 46 to 80 feet, with the Viking 54 Open making her world premiere - and drawing a constant crowd wanting to see the largest express-style yacht we've ever built. The flagship is an impressive Snow White 80 Enclosed Bridge with an open Sky Bridge.

Throngs of show-goers also flocked to this spectacular Aristo Blue 64 Convertible, our latest demo boat.

Mark Brunski and Lisa Wannemacher - who will soon enter the center console world's upper echelon with a Valhalla 33 - can't wait to take delivery.

The show continues through Sunday, Oct. 30. We're located on D-Dock at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center. Come see us!
