Our friends at Viking Yachts and Valhalla Boatworks will kick off the new year by hosting their 30th annual Viking & Valhalla VIP Boat Show, set for January 30–31, 2026, at the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida.

Now in its third decade, the RSVP-only VIP event offers a rare opportunity to see every Viking and Valhalla model—from 28 to 90 feet—displayed in one place, with company leadership, dealer representatives, and more than 75 elite marine vendors on site.

• Full Viking and Valhalla fleets on display

Sea Trials & Owner Experience

Sea trials are a cornerstone of the VIP experience and can be arranged through an authorized dealer. For many owners, the event marks the beginning of the ownership process, offering the opportunity to evaluate ride, handling, and performance in real-world conditions.

“It’s an incredible event,” said Pat Healey, President and CEO of Viking Yachts. “We have the best team, the best dealers and the best business partners in the industry, and we’re bringing all of it together in Palm Beach County. This is what Viking and Valhalla are all about—passion, craftsmanship and building a better boat every day. We’re excited for this year’s VIP and we hope you join us.”

Why Viking Is Focusing on the VIP

Viking has elected not to display at the Miami International Boat Show, citing the in-water show’s shift toward European cruising yachts rather than sportfishing platforms. The VIP Boat Show will be the only event this winter where Viking exhibits its full lineup.

While Viking will not exhibit in Miami, most of the Valhalla fleet will be displayed indoors at the Miami Convention Center, with the V-55 center console and Valhalla 55 Sport Yacht shown in the water at Miami Beach Marina.

Princess Yachts America, a Viking sister company, will also be represented at the VIP with two boats and will maintain an in-water presence along Collins Avenue during the Miami show.

Marine Group & Vendor Presence

Viking Marine Group companies—including Atlantic Marine Electronics, Palm Beach Towers, and the Viking Yacht Service Center—will be represented alongside 75+ elite marine businesses, providing a comprehensive look at equipment, technology, and services.

Guests can also visit the Valhalla Yacht Sales Showroom and Service Center, which opened during last year’s VIP and features indoor boat displays, a full design center, and a modern showroom just steps from the docks.
