Exciting Changes Are Underway At Rampage’s Parent Company – KCS International, Inc.

Mark Pedersen

Rampage Yachts would like to congratulate Mark Pedersen on assuming the role of president, in addition to his current title of CFO of KCS International Inc. Pedersen has been with KCS International for over 16 years and has more than 20 years experience in the marine industry. Pedersen replaces Jim Viestenz who recently stepped down to pursue other interests.

"I am up for the challenges, as I have worked hand-in-hand with the entire KCS management team throughout the years," said Pedersen. "I was fortunate to be here in the early 1990s when we were rebuilding the company. I learned some valuable lessons that we will use in order to continue our success as we move the company forward. We've got a great product and the right team in place to make it happen."

Congratulations Mark!

The Rampage Story

Best Of Both Worlds

For more than 25 years, Rampage Sport Fishing Yachts have taken the world fishing.

Originally conceived, designed and built for offshore fishing on the rugged waters off New England, Rampage earned a reputation for seaworthiness and versatility. Today’s Rampage is still a rugged offshore fishing platform, but now built to a level of comfort and style that appeals to the entire family – the best of both worlds.

From 30’ to 45’, the Rampage line-up is designed with offshore enthusiasts in mind. Whether your passion is chasing billfish or cruising with friends and family, a Rampage will deliver exceptional versatility and a smooth, dry ride.

Rampage is owned by KCS International, the same privately held company that owns Cruisers Yachts. Both brands are built in Oconto, Wisconsin, on the shores of beautiful Green Bay. Oconto is a small town with a big boat-building heritage spanning more than 50 years. The KCS facilities include more than 350,000 sq ft of modern, climate controlled production and assembly space in a single location. Boats built in Oconto have earned the NMMA’s top CSI award for the past seven consecutive years.

We invite you to learn more about our boats, the company and the people that stand behind the Rampage brand.

Giving Before Getting

The excitement of fishing in tournaments usually has us thinking for days ahead about the big fish I am going to catch, or the fish we will catch as a team.
