Viking Yachts

Viking Yachts was founded by brothers Bob and Bill Healey in 1964 when they bought Peterson-Viking Builders, a small, struggling New Jersey builder of 37-foot wooden sportfishing boats. Those humble beginnings, of course, led to Viking Yachts, now a world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production, with over 4,000 Viking sportfish and motor yachts delivered.

With Bob Healey still at the company helm as Chief Executive Officer and deal maker and Bill as company President, chief boatbuilder, and head of Viking Yacht's in-house design and engineering teams, this family-owned and managed business is thriving. Viking Yacht Company builds over 100 high-end sportfishing yachts from 45' to 82' each year. Viking Yachts' order sheet is full for the next 12 months, depending on the model, with sales limited only by production capacity.

Why Choose Viking Sportfish Yachts

Building Better Boats Since 1964

Founded in 1964 by brothers Bill Healey and Bob Healey in New Gretna, New Jersey, Viking Yachts has grown from a small sportfishing boat builder into one of the most respected names in offshore yachting. Still family-owned and operated, Viking has delivered thousands of yachts while maintaining its commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and performance.

The Benchmark in Sportfishing

Viking is widely regarded as a world leader in sportfishing yacht production. The company's lineup of convertibles, enclosed bridge yachts, billfish models, and sport yachts are designed to dominate offshore conditions while providing the comfort and luxury expected from a premium yacht. Viking's philosophy of "Building a Better Boat Every Day" has made it a favorite among serious anglers worldwide.

Few brands have a stronger presence in competitive sportfishing than Viking. Viking yachts consistently dominate major billfish tournaments throughout North America, and the brand remains one of the most represented manufacturers on the tournament circuit. This success reflects Viking's relentless focus on fishability, performance, reliability, and owner satisfaction.
