Viking Boatyard Tour

It's one thing to appreciate the beauty of a boat sitting at the dock or out on the fishing grounds. But when you actually see the boat in the building process, you get an entirely new appreciation for the craftsmanship, ingenuity and technology used to build a world-class sport-fishing yacht. After taking a tour of the Viking production facility in New Gretna, New Jersey, I have a newfound respect for the men and women who build Viking boats. These folks do it right. - Charlie Levine, Marlin magazine
