GALA Viking Aluminium Hull Luxury RIBs

Premium Aluminium Hull Luxury RIBs for Cruising, Families & Offshore Use

GALA Viking is the luxury aluminium-hull RIB range designed for owners who demand superior strength, high power capability and premium onboard comfort. The Viking series combines heavy-duty marine-grade aluminium construction with refined layouts, modern equipment and excellent seaworthiness — making these boats ideal for luxury cruising, family leisure and demanding coastal or offshore operation.

All Viking models are built on deep-V hulls made from marine-grade aluminium alloy 5083 and treated with powder coating and ENVIROX passivation, ensuring long-term resistance to corrosion, heat and mechanical stress in aggressive marine environments. The patented GALA-TABS hull design improves planing efficiency, stability and load distribution, delivering a smooth, predictable and dry ride in Mediterranean conditions and beyond.

Gaelix Marine Service is the official and exclusive representative of GALA in Greece and Cyprus, providing professional configuration support, engine matching, installation services and international delivery.
