1998 BUDDY DAVIS Compare

Built by Buddy Davis in 1998, Windy Cay is a 17.67-metre (58-foot) Convertible Sportfisherman that offers a well-balanced combination of offshore capability, comfort, and seakeeping performance. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3412 diesel engines and equipped with twin Northern Lights 20 kW generators, she provides a reliable and self-sufficient platform for extended time on the water. Currently located in Singer Island, Florida, Windy Cay has benefited from numerous upgrades and repairs to both her interior and exterior, as well as improvements to her hull and mechanical systems in recent years.

The Buddy Davis 58 is widely regarded for its exceptional stability and its ability to deliver a comfortable ride in challenging sea conditions. Her distinctive Carolina flare keeps the bow high and the ride dry, making her equally well suited for serious offshore fishing and extended cruising. With three staterooms on board, Windy Cay offers a practical and comfortable layout for those spending several days or nights aboard.

Windy Cay is a sound choice for buyers seeking a proven, classic Carolina-built Sportfisherman with a strong reputation for seakeeping and offshore performance.
