Phenomenal customer service! Tony and Carlton patiently helped sell us a beautiful well maintained Cobalt 200. We came in to the shop green knowing nothing about boats. We are grateful our first experience buying a used boat was with Vikings. Oh, and shout out to their furry “branch managers”.. Definitely helped the sale. Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience with Viking Marine and especially my salesman, Tyler Lee. I had been looking for a particular style of boat for some time and kept getting duped from other sellers with much nicer looking web photos than the real boat in person. Tyler posted an immaculately maintained Pioneer 197 Venture, and I was able to cut a deal with them same day. Tyler was extremely easy to deal with, communicated seamlessly, and provided me all of the details, pics, and paperwork quickly. On pickup day, we got right on the lake for a test. The boat was exactly as described and pictured. Even more gear included than I expected. Very good experience and definitely recommend Tyler and the other gents at Viking Marine in Seneca. I had it on the water the very next day. It ran great and the family is loving it!

We were blown away by the customer service at Viking Marine. As first time boat buyers we had many questions. Jordan, with his team Tyler and Tony, took the time to answer our questions and teach us what to look for when buying a boat. We were shown an amazing, like new, 1998 Chaparral. Armed with our new education, we went to a different boat dealer to compare with a 2012 Regal. The condition of the Regal was nowhere close to the Chaparral and the service, I wouldn’t even call it service compared to the guys at Viking Marine. We immediately drove back to Seneca to close the deal on the Chaparral. We are very excited to get on the water! Highly recommend Viking Marine and will be back for all of our boat needs.

Viking has been an amazing place to take my boat for service. They make it so easy to get in and out and back on the lake quickly. Jordan has a lot of passion and goes out of his way to make you feel like a part of their family. Todd is phenomenal mechanic that takes the time to listen to your concerns so he can make sure he understands exactly how to meet your needs and expectations. I just cant say enough good things about Todd! Viking is definitely my permanent home for all things boat service!

My wife and I bought a 2015 tritoon boat from the guys @ Viking. We were very impressed with the variety of inventory both new and used. The owner-Jordan Drost, sales team, and finance manager were all very appreciative of our business. The atmosphere at Viking has that home town small business feel, they even have a cool dog (Brock) that is sure to be the first to greet you when you walk into the showroom. We’ve been in nearly every boat dealership in Upstate SC over the years, browsing and buying/trading… By far the best boat buying experience we’ve ever had. We highly recommend doing business @ Viking Marine. Ask for Carlton, he’s a great guy!

My wife and I recently moved to the area. Like many, we didn’t grow up on a lake and the idea of buying a boat is an exciting but daunting decision. Jordan and his team at Viking Marine made the process extremely informative and fun. We were amazed at their offer to test drive any boat we wanted to test drive – because it’s a process to take a boat from their store and put it in the lake. However, that’s exactly what they did. They picked us up in our boat of choice right in front of our house. Jordan and Cameron spent an hour with us talking about the lake, the boat, and answered every question we had. We drove the boat and we saw the wave it produced, all while feeling absolutely zero pressure to make a decision.Their customer care (service) is impeccable. We visited other local shops and none matched (or even came close) to Viking Marine’s no-pressure sale, happy to answer any questions persona, and have unmatched price points.We are thrilled with our boat choice and Jordan and Cameron are a very big reason why this once daunting decision became a rather easy choice for us.We HIGHLY recommend Viking Marine.

I had a great experience buying a boat on consignment from Viking. When we first took the boat out for a water test the engine had an issue that the Viking staff quickly diagnosed and fixed. After taking the boat home I had a problem getting the title transferred (I am out of state) and Viking helped me get it resolved quickly. Jordan and Tyler were great to deal with and went above and beyond to provide great service. I highly recommend Viking Marine!

I recently visited Viking Marine for an issue with my boat's impeller, and I was absolutely blown away by the exceptional service provided by the team there. Jordan, the owner, was the first to greet me. His approachability and in-depth knowledge about boats immediately put me at ease. He carefully listened to my concerns, demonstrating a genuine interest in helping me resolve the issue.Jordan introduced me to Jim and Scott, the mechanics who would be working on my boat. Both of them were incredibly welcoming and showed an impressive level of expertise. What really stood out to me was their commitment to transparency. They explained the process they would undertake to fix the impeller, detailing each step in a way that was easy for me to understand. This level of communication is rare and highly appreciated.Throughout the repair process, Jim and Scott kept me updated on their progress. They not only fixed the impeller with impeccable skill but also conducted a thorough inspection to ensure there were no additional underlying issues. Their attention to detail was remarkable.The level of customer service at Viking Marine was unparalleled. Jordan, Jim, and Scott made me feel like a valued customer by taking the time to ensure my complete satisfaction. They went above and beyond, delivering not just a fixed impeller but also peace of mind knowing my boat was in the best possible condition. If you’re in need of boat repairs or maintenance, Viking Marine is the place to go. The team's expertise, coupled with their outstanding customer service, makes them stand out in the marine industry. Jordan, Jim, and Scott are a testament to what it means to provide excellent service. I couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend them to any boat owner.

Was told by a private mechanic that my motor (2014 Merc. Optimax 175) had no compression and was totaled. Took it to Viking and they diagnosed and fixed it within a week. Can’t do much better than that.

Very impressed with Viking Marine! Jordan has done a great job with the new place and his staff are true professionals. This is my 3rd item I have had ceramic coated (Truck, Motorcycle, Boat) by Viking Marine and I could not be happier with the results. Jordan took the extra time to review the work completed and explained the process and challenges with each. He stands behind their work and it is beautiful; definitely a team you can trust!

Was in the market to trade up from an 18’ Scout Sportfish to a new or newer boat. Spoke to Jordan and after lots of education and patiently spending time on the phone with me, I decided on a new Sea Fox Commander 248. We decked it out with some extras, and Jordan’s service lead (Jim) performed magic by expertly installing all the options I wanted in just a few days.The boat looked perfect on pickup day, and Jordan now has my Scout boat on consignment. He has gone above and beyond on all our interactions so far, and I would definitely come back to Viking Marine for any future boat purchase. Highly recommended.

Tyler Lee was a great sales guy from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable and honest to work with and super responsive. It’s hard to find that these days and Viking marine was professional and made things very easy to find the right boat. THANK YOU

We so highly recommend Viking Marine for all of your boating needs. Jordan and Chad and crew were more than helpful, very knowledgeable and even took us out on the water in 45° weather! Can't wait for summer to begin!

I bought a preowned Chaparral a few weeks ago and wanted it detailed and protected, both inside and out. After researching a number of options, I chose to go with Viking Marine for a complete buffing and ceramic coating on both the fiberglass and vinyl cushions. I have to say that Jordan and his team did an outstanding job. The boat looks brand new. The guys were timely, responsive, easy to work with, and very thorough with a true eye on customer satisfaction. I couldn't be happier with the job they did. Thanks again, Guys!

A good friend recommended Jordan to us. We inquired about a boat, and Jordan reached out, immediately. His knowledge of what he sells, the customer service he and his team provide, and willingness to take the time it needs to make sure his clients are comfortable and satisfied is unmatched. The buying process was extremely smooth due to the professionalism that both John and Jordan have. My good experience did not stop there. After purchasing the boat, they were so nice to transport the boat into storage for us. Simply put I would strongly recommend Viking Marine and I will only be using Viking Marine for my future purchases.Thanks guys!The King Family

I had a couple big jobs done on my Cobalt 252. I worked with Patrick who was very knowledgeable and kept in touch with updates when picking up the boat everybody in the office was very polite and seemed like there was a great atmosphere as far as pricing I was pleasantly surprised and felt the price was very fair once I picked up the boat went down to Lake Keowee to put it in the water there was a problem with my gearing. I called Patrick who immediately came down there within 15 minutes and had me back out on the water within an hour I highly recommend Viking Marine and consider them my new go to mechanics for all my boating needs well done y'all thank you very much

I recently purchased two used jet skis and I am absolutely in love with everything about it. The experience with D1 and the product they have sold. If I ever buy again I will be calling them first. Thank you to everyone at D1 automotive and marine!

Incredible team at Viking Marine. If you need a new boat or service on your boat go see Jordan and his team at Viking marine.

I highly recommend Viking Marine to anyone consigning a boat for sale in the Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell area. Jordan and his team prepared and sold my boat in under a week - and at a fair price! Their paperwork process was simple and their professionalism and responsiveness to my inquiries was excellent. I couldn't be more pleased with the service they provided.

Jordan was great to deal with. Very responsive and straight forward. I had my boat at another Dealer on consignment for 3 months, they brought zero buyers to me & gave me the run around. Once I got it to Jordan he sold it in 3 days. Highly recommend him and D1 if you are looking to move your boat. He had at least 3 interested buyers right away. Hands down I would do business with him again if I need something.

Jordan and staff at D-1 are a pleasure to do business with. I had them put a ceramic coat on my 2014 Ram and it looks brand new! I highly recommend D-1 for any of their services.

Jordan runs an excellent crew. When I bought my boat there, some of the paperwork was messed up and I didn’t get all of the items. Jordan took it on himself to correct the mistakes on the paperwork and also ship the missing items as well. Very honest dealership and I would do business again.

I was very pleased with the repair work to my boat & motor I needed. Patrick used to work on OMC outboards. I needed work on my OMC Johnson 90 HP outboard and some things repaired on the OMC Sunbird boat. Patrick took care of all the things I wanted checked out. He stayed in communication with me with what he found and what to do to fix it. The bill was fair and reasonable too. I would recommend to everyone.

Best boat buying experience I have ever had. The boat was exactly as advertised and I received a great deal on the boat. I searched across the country for the right unit and Jordan and his team absolutely delivered..Jordan went out of his way to help facilitate the financing and sale. I look forward to doing more business with Jordan and his team in the future. His dealership will continue to grow with sales and service like I person...ally experienced. Thanks for everything

Jordan did an amazing job on restoring our boat that had gel coat issues, lots of mold on the vinyl and areas of bad oxidation. I had no idea it was possible to bring a 5 year old boat back to looking like it came out of the showroom. His team is extremely talented and the process couldn't have been any easier. After seeing his service and quality, we'll be bringing our other toys to him from now on! Thank you so much, Jordan!Services: Full body wash, Auto detailing, Car waxing
