The Viking Yacht Company is in the midst of a massive ramp-up, and part of that increase in production includes the tremendous progress we've made in New Gretna with the addition of Line 5, where we are building our new Valhalla Boatworks flagship - the V-55.

And with 50 boats sold, that line is rolling right along, as the best shipwrights in the world build a better boat every day.

"This is what we do," says Vice President of Manufacturing Al Uhl, who has been with the company for 45 years. "The work ethic and the drive to be the best is part of our culture. We have supervisors and foremen who have more experience than any other management team in the industry."
