Windy Boats was founded in 1966 in the small village of Vestre Sandøy, on the southern coast of Norway. The company was named after the prevailing winds in the region, which were seen as a symbol of the durability and performance that the boats would come to represent. The original aim was to produce high-quality, robust motorboats that could handle the challenging North Sea conditions. Over the decades, Windy developed a reputation for building seaworthy, performance-oriented boats with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. Throughout their history, Windy has consistently evolved, combining traditional boat-building skills with modern technology. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the brand expanded its range to include luxury cruisers and high-performance sports boats, cementing its reputation as a premium manufacturer. Windy Boats often collaborated with renowned designers such as Hans Jørgen Johnsen, resulting in award-winning designs highly appreciated by both critics and customers.Today, Windy Boats is headquartered in Västervik, Sweden, but retains its strong Norwegian heritage and values. The company continues to produce some of the finest luxury sport and cruising boats on the market, maintaining their commitment to quality, performance, and design excellence. Despite changes in ownership and global market conditions, Windy remains a respected name in the boating industry, known for their impeccable craftsmanship and enduring reliability.
