Introducing the Valhalla V55
The Valhalla V55 drew significant attention during its world premiere at the 2023 Miami International Boat Show, marking its place in the competitive market of outboard-powered center consoles over 50 feet. Garnering over 50 pre-orders, the V55 is celebrated for its combination of speed, maneuverability, and the comprehensive range of amenities reminiscent of a Viking convertible yacht. Complemented by its substantial beam measuring 15 feet 6 inches, it provides extensive cockpit and cabin space that enhance its utility for both luxury cruising and sportfishing enthusiasts.
Engineering and Performance
Built to accommodate Mercury’s powerful V-12 600-horsepower outboard engines, the V55 boasts impressive top speeds that can soar up to 64 mph with a gap tower and 68 mph with a hardtop, even achieving speeds up to 73-74 mph when equipped with five engines. Its substantial 1,200-gallon fuel capacity outstrips many competitors, supporting longer journeys without the frequent need to refuel. The V55’s design follows the Stepped-V Ventilated Tunnel (SVVT) model by Michael Peters Yacht Design, ensuring a smooth, stable, and dry ride even under challenging sea conditions.
Constructed for Optimal Performance
The hull of the V55 incorporates fiberglass and carbon fiber/E-glass hybrid composites, selected for their strength and reduced weight. Integral to its design is a structural stringer grid, engineered for the installation of optional gyro stabilizers and reachable through a watertight cockpit hatch. The Seakeeper stabilization system and ElectroSea CLEARLINE technology can also be added to maintain cleanliness and efficiency in seawater-cooled systems. Engine access and maintenance are made easier with an electrically-operated fuel management system and a spacious “machinery room” housing critical components such as batteries, water heaters, and more.
Luxurious Interior Details
Beyond its robust exterior, the V55 offers luxury akin to a sophisticated Viking interior. The air-conditioned cabin is accessible via a companionway on the console’s starboard aft end, with a sliding door reminiscent of those found on express yachts. Inside, natural light cascades through a Bomar overhead hatch and multiple portlights, highlighting the exquisite walnut finish. The cabin features a fully-equipped galley, an L-shaped lounge with a convertible table, and entertainment amenities including a standard 32-inch HD TV. Forward, the private stateroom hosts a queen-sized bed, a TV, and a full ensuite bathroom with shower.
Versatile Deck Layout
On deck, the V55 showcases its versatility with dual transom seats, spacious live wells, dive doors on both sides, and a seamless transition to the bow’s seating areas. The expansive cockpit can accommodate a pair of 65-gallon live wells, multiple insulated fish boxes, and an area for a Seakeeper hatch. Owners have flexibility with seating arrangements, choosing between configurations ranging from a U-shaped lounge to an area equipped with five teak chairs, supplemented with tackle storage and a secondary display.
Personalized Features and Options
What sets the V55 apart is its capacity for personalization, allowing owners to choose specific color palettes, fabric choices, and additional features. From faux teak accents to custom electronics packages, the ship can be tailored at the factory to meet precise specifications. Additional amenities such as integrated electric teaser reels, molded pods for electronics, and Garmin or Simrad electronics packages enhance navigation and angling performance.
