Diversity by Design

These drone photos, taken in mid-June of the Viking Yacht Company’s Make Ready Dock and boat basin in New Gretna, tell a story of diversity, purpose and progress.

From Billfish to Sky Bridge, from 46 to 82 feet, the basin is packed with nearly every model we build. You’ll see convertibles, enclosed and open bridge yachts, sport towers, sport coupes and the first Valhalla 55 Sport Yacht. It’s a snapshot of a company designing for every customer – and building a better boat every day.

At the same time, we’re investing in our future. As you can see, construction is underway on a new Make Ready Dock Office – a raised two-story facility that will support our team of mechanics, finish experts and sea trial technicians; the upper level will be home to our interior design center and offices. The goal: Deliver an even higher level of service and support.

We know what you’re doing – zooming in, sizing up, guessing hull sizes and types. That’s half the fun when you’re part of the Viking family. So here’s a breakdown of what you’re looking at – a fleet full of variety and vision.

Dock 1 includes an 82 Enclosed Bridge (top left) set to receive a Palm Beach Tower, two 74 Convertibles – one with an attractive Sea Mist Green exterior – a 68 Covertible with hardtop, three 46 Billfish models (one headed to Palm Beach Towers in Riviera Beach, Florida, for a tower) and two 54 Sport Towers.

On the bulkhead, there’s hull No. 1 of the Valhalla 55 Sport Yacht and the 74 Convertible that was showcased at our Sea Trial Event earlier this month. Dock 2 holds an 82 Sky Bridge (lower right), a 68 with tower and a 54 Sport Coupe.

In the foreground (left) is SI Yachts’ 64 demo, and ahead of that boat is Viking’s latest demo – a sweet Flag Blue 82. Just two days after this photo was taken, she crossed to Bermuda and is now prepping for the Bermuda Triple Crown.

Like we said, every boat in the basin has a story to tell. Together, they capture the spirit of Viking. To find out more, please contact your authorized Viking dealer.
