Brothers Bill and Bob Healey founded the Viking Yacht Company in 1964 and it remains family owned and operated. Viking Yachts is a debt free company and answers only to its unyielding commitment to build the finest boats money can buy. The Viking Yacht Company is located on the Bass River, a winding marsh–lined tributary, which feeds into the Mullica River and flows into the Great Bay. About 50 minutes by boat to Atlantic City, the wilderness of the Bass River is a stark contrast to the leading edge technology, which precedes every Viking leaving the New Gretna facility. The modern 810,000 square foot manufacturing facility is equipped with the latest technology and machinery. From multiple CNC routers for cutting wood parts to a $1 million five-axis profiler, which creates foam plugs to build complex molds, Viking clearly defines cutting edge. And yet, with a 1,400-strong talented and skilled work force, the human element is equally dynamic. Other than a few major components, such as engines and appliances, virtually every part of a Viking is designed and manufactured on the premises. Whether it is a fiberglass fuel tank or a wiring harness labeled every eight inches with its function, you can be sure of incomparable quality.
