The Viking Splash was established in 1999 by an Irish-American couple that saw the possibility of the Viking Splash after they saw something similar in Boston.

The fleet consists of 6 DUKWS, each one named after a Viking god/goddess.  Dukws were used during World War II to ferry troops and supplies like food, water and medical equipment to land.
