The summer of 2025 was a remarkable season for HMY Yacht Sales and Viking enthusiasts, as HMY Yacht Sales Professional and Viking Product Specialist Michael Strassel successfully completed two back-to-back Viking 82 Convertible deliveries. While HMY guided multiple Viking builds to completion this year, Strassel’s accomplishment of delivering two highly customized 82s within just a few weeks highlights both his dedication and HMY’s depth of experience as a Viking dealer.
July 2025 – Viking 82 Sky Bridge Delivery
In July 2025, Strassel oversaw the build and handoff of a stunning Viking 82 Sky Bridge. This model combines the best of both worlds: the climate-controlled comfort of an enclosed bridge and the visibility and flexibility of an open flybridge. With its commanding stance and advanced fishing features, the 82 Sky Bridge is designed for serious anglers and cruising families alike.
August 2025 – Viking’s First 82 Enclosed Bridge with a Tower
Just weeks later, in August 2025, Strassel delivered a milestone build: the first-ever Viking 82 Enclosed Bridge with a tower. This unique configuration highlights Viking’s ability to adapt to owner preferences and showcases the importance of having a knowledgeable specialist guiding the process from concept through completion.

Building a Viking Yacht is an exciting and detailed process. From power packages and performance options to interior layouts and fishing equipment, every choice matters.

These two Viking 82 deliveries are a testament to the careful guidance and steady expertise that HMY Yacht Sales brings to every build.
