Capt. Paul G Forsberg’s Viking Fleet was founded by his father, Carl Forsberg in 1936 and originally resided in Freeport, New York. It wasn’t until 1951, when Paul was 12 years old, that the fleet and Forsberg clan relocated on Montauk. An ambitious young salt, Paul was already running his own 24 foot boat at this early age and worked in various commercial fisheries from 1951 to 1957. In 1957 Paul was 18 years old and firmed his maturation to adulthood by obtaining his 100 ton master captains license. Utilizing this credential, he operated his own charter boat till 1959 when he decided to become involved in the summer party boat fishing business. He maintained this role of party boat captain till 1991 and worked on commercial draggers during the winter. Today, the Viking Fleet is a year-round operation consisting of three party boats, one high speed ferry, one commercial fishing vessel, one cruise vessel and the newly launched Viking Fivestar. It is the largest, most diversified privately owned fishing fleet in the northeast.
