A Legacy of Fishing Excellence for Generations
Fishing charters are often impersonal, overcrowded, and lack the rich traditions that make a trip truly memorable. Anglers are left longing for a more authentic experience—one rooted in history, passion, and a commitment to excellence.
The Forsberg family has been a cornerstone of the fishing industry for nearly a century.
Our story began in 1936 when Carl Forsberg founded the Viking Fishing Fleet in Montauk, NY. Over the decades, the family has carried on this proud legacy of providing exceptional fishing experiences, passing the torch through four generations and counting.
Our commitment to excellence, innovation, and family values has been the driving force behind our success. Today, the Forsberg name is synonymous with trust, tradition, and top-tier fishing adventures.
