The Viking-Galati relationship goes back 30 years when Galati Yacht Sales began servicing Viking Yachts on Florida’s Gulf Coast. After years of servicing Viking Yachts, Galati became the Viking Yachts dealer in the area. Collectively, between the two companies, there are 100 years of unwavering dedication and commitment to delivering the best experience on the water possible. The Viking Yacht Company was founded in 1964 and GYS in 1970, but the synergies don’t stop there. Both companies are family-owned and operated, span three generations, and Viking’s mantra to build a better boat every day parallels perfectly with Galati’s goal of consistently exceeding their customer expectations.
The History Of Viking Yachts
Historically, Viking Yacht models have been created with the highest quality materials. Bill and Bob Healey are the founders and original Viking Yacht experts. Starting out, the brothers built small, wooden 37′ sportfishing boats.
In 1972, they introduced the Viking 40′ Convertible to become a huge success. That has changed over the last 50 years. Viking now offers a full fleet of semi-custom-built fiberglass luxury yachts and is now a world leader in the yacht industry.
What Makes Used Viking Boats Better
The Viking brand success is the company’s renowned manufacturing capabilities, and this is one of the reasons that used Viking Yachts maintain their quality.
The company is known for its hard work and attention to detail from the initial design to the finished product. Viking Yachts produces 90 percent of their boats in-house to ensure customers get the quality they’ve come to expect.
Viking professionals come from all walks of life and all with decades of experience. The company finds the best shipwrights to assist with engines, pumps, hoses, transmissions, air conditioning, entertainment centers and all other electronics that go into their yachts.
No other yacht company has the experience and know-how when it comes to building luxury and sportfishing yachts. Viking Yachts introduces new and innovative models regularly and used Viking Yacht models still maintain their appeal, style, and integrity.
Driven to build a better boat, Viking uses lessons learned from their countless tournaments to make changes and advances to their building strategy.
