Welcome aboard HMY's new 64 Viking, one of our many new Vikings and Valhallas. I am Mike Strassel with the HMY Viking team, and I'd like to share with you why now is the best time for new Viking yacht ownership. There have been literally hundreds of marine industry advancements that make up today's new Vikings and Valhallas. In this video, I will highlight 10 reasons why owning a new Viking is a great decision and why now is the best opportunity to make your new Viking a reality. This 64 is a testament to the innovations and advancements exemplifying how Viking yachts build a better boat every day. It begins with the AI computer generated designs for the hull, deck, substructure, superstructure, engine room and running gear. This makes new Vikings lighter, stronger, faster, quieter and more beautiful than ever before. Then there's the easy to use touchscreen electronics with integrated autopilot, night vision, radar with AIS overlay. This all makes navigation simple. Starlink for always connected internet, telephone and streaming TV service makes the family happy. Side scanning sonar for tremendous fishing results and SeaKeeper stabilization provides ultimate comfort all of the time. In the engine room, ElectroSea seawater flow systems are a dream come true for reduced maintenance. And the RightAir system keeps the air conditioning dry and much more comfortable. Ceramic coating and spot zero water systems for the ease of exterior shine and beauty. It has never been easier. Extended warranties provide confidence in ownership and resale value. And then the ultimate pride of ownership, owning a new Viking. This boat show season starts next week in Newport, followed by the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. And the stage is set for great deals being made. This intuition is based on our experience. Like back in 1980 with the fuel shortages, boats piled up. The 1990 luxury tax, boats piled up. The 2008 banking crash, boats piled up. After every one of these events, the dam broke at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and it's gonna happen again. The stage is set for families to engage with new boats, with state of the art equipment, state of the art outfitting and warranty. Right now, you can look at these boats and make great deals, big, beautiful deals. This season is starting right now. Much of this inventory will sell. And when this is gone, replacing it will be a lot more expensive and it'll take a bunch of time in the build process. It's been a pleasure being with you today. And I know two certainties. You'll only be this age one time in your life and it's incredibly exciting owning a new Viking or Valhalla. Let me know if I can help.
