The Viking Yacht Company is a name anglers trust. For over 60 years, Viking has crafted serious sportfishing yachts from their yards in New Gretna and Mullica, NJ, ranging from 46–90 feet. Since 1964, they’ve led the charge in the sportfishing market with one clear mission: “build a better boat every day.” That philosophy has made Viking the gold standard for luxury sportfish yachts and the go-to choice for tournament pros and serious offshore anglers alike.
Whether you’re chasing marlin in the Gulf or running to the canyons for tuna, Viking’s unmatched performance, craftsmanship, and tournament-winning design make them the brand of choice for those who fish hard and demand more from their boat.
Here are the top 10 reasons why Viking continues to dominate blue-water fishing grounds and set the benchmark for performance and luxury.
Every angler knows the run to the fishing grounds is half the battle. Viking’s resin-infused deep-V hull design delivers speed, stability, and efficiency when seas turn sloppy. Scalloped thruster tunnels, recessed struts, and optimized water flow reduce drag and maximize performance.
This is why Viking Yachts earned the nickname “Battlewagon” — trusted by tournament captains and crews to perform when the bite is hot, no matter the conditions. Their legendary ride quality lets you push farther offshore with confidence, knowing your boat can handle whatever the ocean throws at it.
Are Viking Yachts good? Without question. Viking leads the sportfishing industry by building 90% of each yacht in-house. This Viking Difference gives them control over every step of the process, resulting in unmatched reliability and consistency for serious anglers.
From fiberglass fuel tanks to wiring harnesses labeled every eight inches, Viking craftsmen handle it all. Engines and electronics may come from outside suppliers, but nearly everything else is built on site. That kind of control means you’re getting tournament-ready quality with no shortcuts.
When it comes to consistency, no brand rivals Viking’s hands-on approach — a key reason why their boats hold value, perform flawlessly, and dominate tournament circuits worldwide.
Where are Viking boats made? Viking Yachts are proudly built in New Gretna and Mullica, NJ. The New Gretna facility spans nine buildings and produces nearly 100 yachts annually. Many of the craftsmen have decades of experience, ensuring every boat is finished to the highest standards of performance, safety, and durability.
Viking’s 800,000-square-foot plant is where innovation meets craftsmanship. With over 1,300 skilled craftsmen and advanced machinery, Viking reinvests millions annually to stay ahead of the fleet. From CNC routers shaping components to a million-dollar five-axis profiler, Viking uses cutting-edge tools to make boats stronger, faster, and more efficient.
Because Viking is family-owned and debt-free, they answer only to their own high standards. That independence allows them to constantly push the envelope on design, durability, and fishability — ensuring Viking owners stay ahead of the competition on every run offshore.
Running a sportfish offshore means putting massive loads on your boat. Viking’s solution? A steel-reinforced stringer system that delivers the rigidity needed to keep engines aligned and the hull rock-solid in heavy seas. This backbone lets you push through rough water with confidence, knowing your yacht can handle the punishment of big-game fishing.
When the seas turn tough, Viking’s structural strength gives you a competitive edge — a rock-solid platform designed to chase trophies, not shelter from the storm.
No angler wants downtime. Viking’s engine rooms are designed for space, clean layouts, and easy access. Whether you’re checking a system before heading offshore or troubleshooting between tournament heats, everything is right where you need it. Painted surfaces and organized systems make maintenance a breeze, keeping you fishing instead of fixing.
It’s the kind of design detail that separates a Viking Yacht from the rest — efficiency, accessibility, and reliability built in from the keel up.
Every pound saved is more range, more speed, and more time fishing. Viking uses modern composites and lightweight cores behind cabinetry and bulkheads to maximize efficiency without compromising strength. The payoff: faster runs to the canyons, longer days trolling, and more fuel left when it’s time to head home.
It’s all part of Viking’s focus on performance-driven design — lighter, stronger, and smarter for serious offshore anglers who want every advantage on the water.
Step into a Viking cockpit, and you’ll see why they’re the boat of choice on the tournament circuit. Oversized mezzanine seating keeps the crew comfortable and alert, while deep freezers, refrigerated fish boxes, and tackle storage are right where anglers need them. From the 46 Billfish to the flagship 90 Convertible, Viking layouts give crews a competitive edge when every second counts.
Every inch of a Viking is purpose-built — by fishermen, for fishermen. It’s that authentic understanding of what works in the cockpit that sets Viking apart and keeps them dominating blue-water events worldwide.
When you buy a Viking, you’re not waiting on outside contractors. Viking integrates with Palm Beach Towers and Atlantic Marine Electronics to deliver custom towers, electronics, and rigging straight from the factory. That means your new boat arrives turnkey, tournament-ready, and built by the same team that designed the yacht itself.
From the tower to the helm, everything fits seamlessly — one team, one vision, one incredible result. That’s Viking’s definition of “turnkey perfection.”
Buying a Viking is more than a transaction — it’s joining a family. With dedicated service yards in New Jersey and South Florida, Viking ensures your ownership experience is second to none. Their loyal owner network is known for rendezvous, camaraderie, and a strong community presence in tournaments — making Viking ownership more than just a boat, but a lifestyle.
When you buy Viking, you’re backed by experts who fish, service, and live the same passion — that’s customer care the Viking way.
From Bisbee’s Black & Blue to the Gulf Coast Triple Crown, Viking Yachts dominate leaderboards year after year. Trusted by the most competitive crews in the world, Vikings combine speed, range, and rugged dependability with the comfort needed between long days offshore. It’s this proven pedigree that cements Viking as the ultimate choice for anglers chasing marlin, tuna, and sails at the highest level.
Simply put, Viking doesn’t follow trends — they set them. Every build is a statement of performance, innovation, and passion. That’s why Viking Yachts remain the gold standard of sportfishing.
