2009 Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show Brings Huge Success!
This year marked the 50th anniversary of the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show. Having a great presence of people, paired with unbeatable weather and thousands of yachts on display, this show truly was a must see. The show was very exciting for Viking Yachts as they were able to premier three of their exciting new models, which included the 76′ Convertible, 82′ Enclosed Bridge & the 46 Open. Viking Yachts & Viking Sport Cruisers are also proud to announce that they will be designing new models.  Viking Yachts will be designing a new 42′ Express and Convertible as well as a new 70′ CNV.  Viking Sport Cruisers will also be designing several models in their V-Series, Flybridge Yachts & Motor Yachts. For those of you who attended the show, we hope you enjoyed.  For those who couldn’t make it, we look forward to seeing you at some of the upcoming shows!
