The Norwalk Boat Show is Connecticut's ultimate destination for boaters who want to experience the very best of today's hottest models without the massive crowds of the South Florida shows. With hundreds of vessels on display, from luxury yachts to sportfishing boats, the Norwalk show offers a unique opportunity to compare models, meet industry experts, and discover the latest innovations in marine technology. Whether you’re looking to purchase your first boat, upgrade to a larger yacht, or simply enjoy a day immersed in the boating community, the SI Yachts team is here to answer all of your questions.
This year, SI Yachts will have the most impressive display of cruising and fishing yachts of the show. Visitors can explore stunning models from world-renowned shipyards including Viking, Absolute, Prestige, Valhalla Boats, and Scout — all in one place. It’s a rare chance to get an up-close look at the latest designs, learn more about their cutting-edge features, and even speak directly with knowledgeable professionals from SI Yachts.

NORWALK PREMIERE: 2026 VALHALLA V-55 SPORT YACHT
The Valhalla V-55 Sport blends high-end comfort with exhilarating speed—powered by four Mercury 600-hp outboards and riding on the renowned Michael Peters Stepped-V Ventilated Tunnel hull, it delivers a fast, stable, and efficient ride that truly stands out in the cruising yacht category. Its expansive cockpit features a large dining area with bench seating, an L-shaped summer kitchen, and powered fold-down balconies on each side (complete with boarding ladders), seamlessly merging relaxation, alfresco dining, and water access. Come see the new Valhalla V-55SY at the Norwalk Boat Show!
ON DISPLAY: 2025 ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 64
The Absolute Navetta 64 packs big-yacht livability into a 64-footer: towering panoramic windows and an oversized flybridge maximize views and outdoor space, the bow master and guest suites all have en-suite heads, and the clever Beach Club version converts the transom into a watertight double cabin right at the waterline—ideal for extra guests. Twin Volvo Penta IPS power keeps cruising quiet and efficient, while the main deck’s seamless salon-to-cockpit flow makes entertaining effortless. You can step aboard and see it all in person at the Discover Boating Norwalk Boat Show, September 18–21, 2025, where SI Yachts will have the Navetta 64 on display.
ON DISPLAY: 2026 ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 58
The Absolute Navetta 58 is a beautifully designed and robust flybridge motor yacht, celebrated for its seamless harmony of form and intelligent use of space. At 57' 2" long and a 16' 6" beam, it features a semi-displacement fiberglass hull that delivers both performance and volume. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D8-IPS800 engines, this vessel can reach speeds up to 30 knots, while offering efficient cruising capabilities for long-range voyages.
ON DISPLAY: 2026 ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 53
The Absolute Navetta 53 delivers big-yacht comfort and easy, confidence-inspiring handling in a 53-foot package: a full-beam amidships owner’s suite with expansive windows, two guest cabins, and a bright main deck framed by panoramic glass, plus a versatile cockpit and flybridge made for entertaining and long weekends. Volvo Penta IPS650s provide quiet, efficient cruising with joystick maneuverability, while independent tests report a top speed just over 24–25 knots and about 400 nm of range at 10 knots—useful flexibility for coastal hops or unhurried passages.
ON DISPLAY: 2025 PRESTIGE 4.9
The new Prestige F4.9 brings “big-boat” livability to a nimble 49-footer, with a Michael Peters hull for confident, efficient cruising on twin Volvo IPS650s, and a serene interior by Garroni featuring natural stone and sculpted woodwork. Smart layout touches—like the aft Ocean-View galley that opens to the cockpit, a bright forward owner’s suite, and two guest cabins—make it feel much larger than its length, while joystick docking and available stabilization keep time aboard easy and comfortable. You can step aboard the F4.9 in person this September 18–21 at the Discover Boating Norwalk Boat Show, where SI Yachts will have a major display that includes new Prestige models.
ON DISPLAY: 2025 PARDO YACHTS 43
The Pardo 43 is a sleek, walk-around day yacht that blends Italian style with real-world usability: its teak side decks and high bulwarks let you move safely from the bow sunbed to the spacious aft lounge, a rigid carbon-fiber T-top shades the helm and social area, and the lifting swim platform makes water access and tender launches effortless. Underway, the deep-V hull and twin Volvo Penta IPS pod drives deliver efficient, confident handling with joystick maneuverability, while the refined below-deck layout offers one or two cabins with a bright, minimalist finish—impressive comfort for a 43-footer.
ON DISPLAY: 2025 SCOUT 425 LXF
The Scout 425 LXF offers superior structural stability, strength and a Class A finish creating unsurpassed performance. With a standard Seakeeper gyro stabilizer, second row seating, and a unique leaning post that has an electrically-actuated fiberglass drawer cooler, summer kitchen complete with grill, sink and cutting board, and swivel barstools that conveniently stow away…this model has it all.
ON DISPLAY: 2025 SCOUT 377 LXF
Stunning, sleek, sexy and strong are just a few synonyms for a Scout 377 LXF. Equipped with three Mercury V10 400s, this versatile center console can accomplish nearly any desired trip with ease and comfort. Whether that trip is offshore in the ocean to get to the canyons and the tuna, or a relaxing sunset cruise to everyones favorite on water restaurant. Entering this oasis on the water is accomplished with little effort thanks to the transom gate and or the side boarding door. Once on board, seating is in abundance and not just a seat for one person, three people can enjoy the protection of the glass windshield at the helm.
ON DISPLAY: 2025 VALHALLA V-37
The Valhalla V-37 earns its reputation as a top-tier center-console yacht due to a winning trifecta of performance, construction quality, and fishability. Its Michael Peters–designed twin-stepped SVVT hull delivers blistering speeds (over 60 mph in tests) with superior efficiency and rock-solid handling—even in choppy seas—while maintaining impeccable stability. Built on Viking’s pedigree of craftsmanship, the V-37 features vacuum-infused construction, resin-infused stringer grids, precision CNC-milled molds, and tight fit-and-finish—earning praise as being “solid as a rock” in sea trials.
