Viking Yacht Co. this morning at the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show introduced the Viking 90 sportfish and Valhalla V-55 center console.
“Both of these boats are badass,” Viking president and CEO Pat Healey said at One Herald Plaza. “They will not only become leaders in their respective classes, but they’re also going to dominate for years to come.”
The Viking 90 is a new design from the keel up. Powered by twin 2,635-mph, 16-cylinder MTU diesels, the boat has a top speed of more than 38 knots. “With our open-bridge model, we anticipate gaining another knot on the top end,” Healey said in a statement.
Viking was building a 92 but had to rethink its approach when the International Maritime Organization enforced Selective Catalytic Reduction regulations a few years ago, which required emission-control equipment that would take up valuable space in the engine compartment. The 92 was affected by the rules, but the 90 is not. The builder developed a 90-foot design with the same interior as the 92. “We put the same exact interior in the new boat,” Healey said.
The 90 has six staterooms, seven heads and two salons.
Viking offers the boat with an enclosed or open flybridge, with or without a custom Palm Beach tuna tower. The cockpit measures 224 square feet and has a 203-gallon fishbox/live well and a pair of 103-gallon insulated fishboxes. A single hatch on centerline houses a Seakeeper 35 gyro-stabilizer.
Viking said it has sold 16 of the new boats. Base price with 1,925-mhp Caterpillar C32A diesels is $12.1 million.

Viking said it has taken more than 50 orders for the Valhalla V-55. The boat measures 55 feet, 7 inches and has a beam of 15 feet, 6 inches. All Valhalla models ride twin-stepped hulls designed by Michael Peters.
Power is four or five 600-hp Mercury V-12 Verado outboards. The boat runs 73 to 74 mph with five outboards, 64 mph with quads.
Hull No. 1 has a custom Palm Beach gap tower and Gemlux carbon fiber outriggers.
A machinery room houses the mechanical and electrical components. The V-55 is designed to carry a Seakeeper 9 gyro-stabilizer, a 15-kW generator, omni-directional sonar and an ElectroSea raw-water cleaning system.
Pricing starts at $2.83 million with quad 600-hp outboards.
