The Viking Yacht Company has celebrated more than five decades in business building luxury performance sport-fishing and cruising yachts. Started by brothers Bob and Bill Healey in 1964 when they bought Peterson-Viking Builders, a small, struggling New Jersey builder of 37-foot, wooden sport-fishing boats, Viking Yachts has grown to become a world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production. Bill’s son, Patrick, now leads the company, instilling the Healey mantra of building a better boat every day & into the next generation of Viking boat builders. From the initial design to the finished product, Viking's highly-regarded reputation is rooted in the company's commitment to produce 90 percent of the boat in house. Viking leads the industry in boat-building design, performance and engineering. From technical achievements such as resin infusion construction to designer furnishings, Vikings stand out as the epitome of luxury and seagoing excellence.
