Our Story
Lake Viking Marine is a proud member of the Marine Sales Group selling new boats built by Cobalt® Boats, Barletta Boats, Sportsman Boats, Yamaha Jet Boats, and Yamaha Personal Watercraft. We also stock a wide variety of pre-owned boats including brands like Sea Ray®, Chaparral®, Regal, Crownline®, Bennington®, Premier®, and many others. New or used, we make sure your boat is 100% ready to go when you are.
Located north of Kansas City, Missouri, just off of I-35 on Lake Viking, we serve local customers in the area of Kansas City, and many travel to our dealership from as far away as Des Moines, Wichita, Manhattan, Omaha and Topeka. Our technicians are certified to service Volvo Penta, Mercury, Mercruiser, Yamaha, Suzuki and Evinrude. In our shop, every boat gets an on-the-water, real-world test.
Our Foundation.
The foundation of our business was established by Larry Tague, who began working as a mechanic here at Tate Marine in 1970 and eventually became the owner in 1988. His dedication to exceptional customer service inspired his team, which is now led by his son Randy Tague, who joined the company in 1996 as a mechanic and service manager. The importance of providing exceptional customer care from beginning to end is what built this company, and we fully understand that our customers are the only reason we are here today.
This level of customer service has earned us many awards over the last few decades but most importantly it has helped build great relationships that are generational now. Our customers know we are here to help, not some time or just for the easy stuff, we are here all the time, and we will never not be here to help no matter the situation.
Being one of the first Five Star Certified Dealerships in Missouri was important for us. It was a challenge and has continued to be a standard we live by. The Five Star Certification course set up by the National Marine Manufacturers Association was put in place to build professionalism and push each dealer to be the best we can be. We are not perfect by any means, but our intent to be the best we can be and make your day on the water the best it can be will never change!
