We've delivered a dozen Viking 90s in just over a year and a half. The six-stateroom industry leader made its world premiere at the Miami International Boat Show in February of 2023.

Since then, eleven 90s have been delivered - an incredible manufacturing feat executed by following our mantra of building a better boat every day. The first 90, above, was a Kingston Grey Sky Bridge model.

In addition to the sky bridge, we also offer the 90 with an enclosed bridge or open bridge. Both can be outfitted with a custom Palm Beach Towers tuna tower. The first 90 with an open bridge is shown above leaving New Gretna for delivery last fall and below on display at the 2024 Viking and Valhalla VIP Boat Show in February.

The 90 Checkmate made the trip from New York to participate in the Viking Key West Challenge in April. She's hull No. 7.

As a semi-custom builder, we aim to please. The 90 Anaya (No. 11) will fish the Pacific, where sight casting live bait from the bow for striped marlin is a popular fishing tactic. The bow rail will provide support for anglers as they go to and from the foredeck. This boat is also plumbed for an on-deck bow-mounted live well.

Look for the Viking 90 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Oct. 30-Nov. 4, where No. 14 will be on display. Like No. 1 (above), she'll feature a teak cockpit and mezzanine and faux teak transom and toe rail. For information about the 90, contact your authorized Viking dealer.
