During Bill Healey’s tenure as co-founder, Viking delivered more than 4,500 boats and became one of the world’s top builders.

From dayboating and sport fishing to serious long-range cruising, the new breed of yachts for 2025 and beyond is impressive.

The Makai Yachts M37 Power Cat has mid-30-knot speed and a layout that is equal parts dayboat and express cruiser.

With this 180-footer, Burger Boat Company and Patrick Knowles Designs aimed to create an American experience at sea.

This superyacht from Delta is designed for efficient cruising at 12 to 14 knots, but also has a projected 27-knot top-end.

Whether it’s exploring aboard a Nordhavn 68 or setting records on a Fliteboard, George Laycock seizes the day.

The Kadey-Krogen Yachts 60 Open has trans-Atlantic range and is the culmination of a half-century of boatbuilding knowhow.

The 780 Adventure has a reported range of 3,200 miles, an oversize toy locker, updated styling and optional ice ratings.

Devastated by Hurricane Irma in 2017, the Bitter End Yacht Club in the British Virgin Islands continues to rebuild.

The founder of Heesen Yachts, who died April 23, 2025, created one of the best-known yacht brands in the world.

With a new shipyard owner and multiple yacht launches and deliveries this year, Heesen Yachts sets its own standard.

These five new models cover a broad boating spectrum, from walkarounds and long-range cruisers to superyachts.
