Team BADCO tours the Viking Factory!
Ойын-сауық
On the 2nd stop of Captain Steve's East Coast tour, he visits the Viking Yachts Factory in New Gretna, NJ to get an update on the BADCO Viking 38' Billfish. While there we get an exclusive tour inside the factory to see how these special builds are made.
The Viking 38 Billfish will join the World tour late this year, a 2025 model with open bulkhead powers by Cummins. We are working with Viking yachts and Galati Yacht sales on some custom features for the team, including the Omni sonar. This machine will join the world tour at the end of this year and meet the 175 in Europe, then immediately deploy to the South Atlantic to be in position early 2025 for either Brazil, Ascension, or West coast of Africa. The 38 Billfish will cover the South Atlantic while the Spencer 57 covers the North Atlantic. Later in mid 2025, both the 175 and 150 will meet in Cape Verde and swap game boats. The 150 will carry the 38 billfish and 175 will carry the LH33. 150 will always be the Atlantic support boat, 175 will drop off 33 when we pick up the new BadCo gameboat 50 built by Croswait around mid year 2025 in Morehead NC. 175 will leave for the long passage to GBR and be set up by October with the 50 to tour the South Pacific and North Pacific.

Thanks for doing what you do. You guys do a great job documenting your program and we know you don't have to. But you do and a bunch of us appreciate it. This is what dreams are made of.

Our pleasure!
Dang that’s a clean factory! Loved this episode and that y’all are bringing this type of content. Seeing the inner workings of a company definitely reinforces the high reputation!
Great tour, terrific to see the factory. Very well filmed and hosted by Steve and the walking tour by the Viking team. Well done. Thank you
The guy speaking for Viking might as well of been running a brisk walk through the factory, he talked really fast! It looks as if they build a quality boat, and have the pre-planning in place! Cannot wait to see this boat finished!!

If you get to the stage ordering a Viking, you don’t need to hear a bunch of slogans and lightning speed through a factory tour.
There is a reason why Viking is so expensive. Worth every penny I’m sure!
What an incredible family owned company! I would love to own one of these spectacular vessels one day, but it's just not in the cards for me financially. I'm trying to fund my own mini-badco US tour between Michigan and Florida 😂 I run an osprey pilothouse up in MI and a Pursuit down in Florida. Caught my first white marlin a couple weeks ago out of Jacksonville and I am hooked! Congrats on your new 38! I'll keep watching and living the Viking dream vicariously thru you guys!! Tight lines to all!
Impressive , a game changer for sure!!
Very Impressive Factory
Spot on!🇺🇸👊🏻
Thanks Steve for the killer stuff you guys post. Used to fish out of a little Viking, loved it. Good luck on your tour.Factory is bad ass.
That's the cleanest boat factory I've ever seen. They really went above and beyond with the dust extraction system in the cut and grind shop. Most manufacturers don't have that level of care, especially for their employees.
No wonder they boats cost up to the millions I absolutely love viking, cznt wait till I get minds
Love this content
The mothership? What the hell? That's a crazy detail to gloss over! What's going on with that?!?!
Great idea !
beautiful! . at 7:02 is that balsa-core bottom?
I wonder how many cabo molds they have, and I know how many employee's made it out east......
What size boat can get before have to have a caption license
