Who owns Valhalla Boatworks?
Valhalla Boatworks is owned by the Viking Yacht Company.
In 2019, industry legend Viking Yachts announced a new and much-anticipated venture: Valhalla Boatworks. A serious and successful effort to break into the center-console market, Valhalla has managed to translate the most beloved characteristics of Viking’s sportfishing yachts into a smaller, but no less impressive, luxury center-console. Produced at the factory in Mullica, New Jersey, Valhalla is an American icon in the making: sturdy, reliable, superbly maneuverable, and ready to eat every wave on its plate. Recently, Viking announced the Sport Edition of the Valhalla line, a performance cruiser with outboard power and luxury accommodations.
Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales is proud to be a Viking & Valhalla Boats dealer, servicing the Great Lakes region with locations throughout Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio, as well as Naples, Florida. For more information, contact our Valhalla Boatworks specialists today!
Valhalla Boatworks center-console models are popular because they deliver the speed, performance, and versatility that today’s boaters demand, whether fishing offshore or cruising with family. Designed and built by Viking Yachts, they feature advanced hull designs, premium engineering, and top-tier fishing amenities. This model range extends from the entry-level V28 to the flagship V-55.
The Valhalla Sport Yacht range was newly introduced to provide premium, luxury accommodations in an express cruiser format. The first model, the V-55 SY combines the patented and efficient Valhalla hull, with the plush interior cabins of a luxury cruiser.
Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales has been a Valhalla dealer since the brand’s 2019 debut. Thanks to our early partnership, combined with extensive experience with Valhalla’s parent company, Viking, JBYS has an abundance of knowledge to share with customers. Across locations in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Florida, our exceptional customer service can help you select and customize a new or used Valhalla Boat. We can also offer assistance for those looking to trade in their current boat. Existing customers benefit from our internationally-acclaimed Service Department, whose factory-trained specialists will service and repair JBYS-bought craft. Because we stock inventory, order inventory, and help with custom builds, our selection of Valhalla boats is always changing, so be sure to regularly check our new and used listings.
The idea was born in the early 2000s. Don Gemmell, a member of Viking’s design team and a close friend of Viking CEO Patrick Healey, dreamt of developing a center console as refined and as powerful as a classic Viking yacht. But it wasn’t until 2019 that Gemmell’s long-held dream – also the dream of scores of owners and dealers – was finally realized. Since then, Valhalla Boatworks has been forging superb quality center console boats for enthusiasts and first-timers who crave impeccable craftsmanship, hardcore fishability, and profound comfort.
Drawing on Viking’s wealth of experience and employing the skills of the firm’s in-house design team, Valhalla offers a level of finish, comfort, and advanced technology rarely attained by typical center console builders. This elevated skillset can be easily discerned in the brand’s signature V-Series, a line of outboard-powered deep-V monohulls, whose stepped-V ventilated tunnels reduce drag and increase speed and fuel efficiency.
Valhalla Boatworks currently offers seven models, each part of the popular V-series. The smallest model is the V-28 Bay, a savvy craft built for hunting fish from coast to coast. Marketed as a tournament competitor, this is a lean, sportfishing machine with an aggressive but efficient profile. Another model of note is the V-29 Hybrid, a brutally efficient hardcore fishing center console that is as at home in shallow saltwater and inshore reefs as it is on the sandbar. Designed to dominate the tournament circuit and marina hop in equal measure, the V-29 Hybrid is a truly dual-purpose vessel. Valhalla’s latest flagship, the 55-foot V-55, is a genuine showstopper, an artful blend of blood-and-guts fishing capability and crowd-pleasing comfort.
