You are invited to the annual Viking Yachts VIP Sea Trial Event on Wednesday, September 12th from 9am to 4pm. This year's event will be held at the Golden Nugget hotel and marina in Atlantic City, NJ which is a short drive to the Viking factory in New Gretna. Spots are limited so it's important that you RSVP as quickly as possible to your SI Yachts Sales Professional or email VBonilla@SIYachts.com for details.
If you are considering purchasing a new Viking Yacht, this is a great opportunity to meet with factory representatives that can answer all of your most technical questions. You will have the opportunity to climb on board each model present and even take it out for a spin with a captain from the factory.
This is a great event to attend particularly if you are considering joining the Viking family. If you are considering purchasing a Viking, we recommend reading Your Resource Guide To Owning A New Viking Yacht.

The Viking 72 Convertible is the next generation of the iconic 70 convertible, a model which Viking delivered 36 times over a five year period. Not only does it encompass the same style and performance as the 70C, but the engineering and design of the 72 take it to a completely other level. So what does Viking do with two extra feet?

The first Viking Yachts 48 Convertible was originally launched back in 1985 and it didn’t take long for industry experts and anglers alike to grade it as best in class.

Viking’s ability to take customer feedback and anticipate their needs in newly launched models has kept the manufacturer at the forefront of the sportfish and motor yacht industry. The 862,000 square foot factory in New Gretna has the distinct ability to create models within a model, giving owners the option to individualize their boating experience. The popularity of the Viking 48 Convertible in a crowded 40-foot sportfish category is a nod to Viking’s design ingenuity and craftsmanship.

When Viking Yachts made the decision to purchase the old Ocean Yachts factory on the Mullica River, they did so with the goal of building a more contemporary version of the Ocean 37 Billfish which had been a very popular model among tournament anglers.

He continued, “Viking’s 37 Billfish is an absolute sportfishing machine, but it gives your family the comfort of being able to get indoors from foul weather or let the kids nap in the queen-sized bed in the private stateroom. It’s really appealing to the boat owner that loves to fish, but wants to also spend that time with his family.” Read more...
