Fox Sports honors the Valhalla 55 Sport Yacht for its exceptional design, power, and engineering excellence.
The Valhalla 55 Sport Yacht (55 SY) made an impressive debut at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), earning the coveted Fox Sports Best of Show Award. The honor underscores Viking and Valhalla Boatworks’ leadership in modern yacht craftsmanship and performance, reflecting the refined design and precision that define every Viking build.
Winning Best of Show at FLIBS is one of the highest distinctions in the marine industry. Each year, judges evaluate hundreds of boats for originality, craftsmanship, and overall design. The Valhalla 55 Sport Yacht impressed with its remarkable performance, refined fit and finish, and ability to merge the center console sportfishing experience with the luxury of a convertible yacht.
Built entirely at Viking’s New Gretna, New Jersey facility, the Valhalla 55 SY delivers extraordinary power, handling, and comfort. Equipped with quad Mercury V12 600-hp outboards, the yacht exceeds 60 mph while maintaining the smooth, controlled ride synonymous with Valhalla. Judges praised its cohesive layout, seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, and state-of-the-art technology that enhances both functionality and onboard living.
Whether chasing big game offshore or enjoying a weekend getaway with family and friends, the 55 SY transitions effortlessly between sport and leisure. Its open cockpit is ideal for serious anglers, while the climate-controlled pilothouse and spacious interior deliver comfort and luxury in every detail. This yacht was built to perform, entertain, and impress—no matter where your next adventure leads.
Viking Yachts President and CEO Pat Healey expressed his pride in the team’s accomplishment:
“This boat represents the very best of what our team can do — world-class performance and engineering built completely in-house by the finest craftsmen in the business. The 55 Sport Yacht combines everything we’ve learned from our Viking convertibles and Valhalla center consoles into one extraordinary design.”
The 55 SY made its world premiere at FLIBS, joining Viking’s impressive display of 18 boats ranging from 28 to 90 feet. This recognition continues Viking’s tradition of excellence, following the Viking 54’s Best of Show win in 2020 and the V-55’s Innovation Award at the 2023 Miami International Boat Show.
Established in 1964 in New Gretna, New Jersey, the Viking Yacht Company has delivered over 6,000 yachts under its philosophy of “building a better boat every day.” In 2019, Viking expanded its heritage with Valhalla Boatworks, a line of high-performance outboard yachts sharing the same quality, engineering, and attention to detail as Viking’s renowned sportfishing fleet. Today, Viking and Valhalla remain synonymous with forward-thinking design, strength, and superior craftsmanship.
