The facts contained in the report helped us strategically negotiate a great price on a 2010 model… Dean went way above and beyond the normal duties I expected from a yacht broker during and after the purchase of our 141′ Christiansen.”

“Dean, Thank you for your yacht knowledge, thoroughness and dedication. You saved us several hundred thousand dollars on the perfect yacht!”
Dr. JK
You did a lot of work researching the market and educating me on current prices. A strong market presentation, boat show presence and video put the yacht in front of many potential buyers.
Finally on the 11th hour as a buyer was scheduled to sea trial the vessel, you pitched in and literally scrubbed the decks to give the teak a final prep. Needless to say the yacht looked great for the sea trial and sold due to your hard work.

Worth Noting: In 1971 Viking Yachts became one of the first major U.S. builders to produce a production sportfish in fiberglass, the famous Viking 33 Convertible.
Viking Yachts was founded by brothers Bob and Bill Healey in 1964 when they bought Peterson-Viking Builders, a small, struggling New Jersey builder of 37′, wooden sportfishing boats. Those humble beginnings of course led to Viking Yachts, now a world-leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production with over 4,000 Viking sportfish and motoryachts delivered.
With Bob Healey still at the company helm as Chief Executive Officer and deal maker, and Bill as company President, chief boatbuilder and head of Viking Yacht’s in-house design and engineering teams, this family-owned and managed business is thriving. Viking Yacht Company builds over 100 high-end sportfishing yachts, from 45′ to 82′ each year. Viking Yachts’s order sheet is full for the next 12 months, depending on the model, with sales limited only by production capacity. With 1,400 employees building yachts in Viking’s state-of-the-art, 600,000 square-feet, waterfront-manufacturing facility, business has never been better, and expansion plans are under way to increase production of its largest models.
At a time when the brothers could take a well-earned rest, Bob and Bill are busier than ever. When not promoting the Recreational Fishing Alliance or industry issues in Washington D.C., Bob can often be found at the Viking shipyard. Bill is at the plant daily overseeing new expansion plans and to ensure Viking is “building a better boat every day.” And of course, Bill still makes it a point to say goodnight to his 1,400 employees each evening, a habit he started way back on April 1, 1964.
