Windy was established in Arendal, Norway 1966 by Hugo Vold. His father was a fisherman, and his family had many anxious moments awaiting his return as storms raged in the Skagerrak. All his father’s boats were called ‘Vindy’, and he brought every one of them safely back to port.

Vold shared his father’s love of, and deep respect for, the sea. Following his university education he became a boatbuilder. He wanted his vessels to be known for their seaworthiness and high quality, and he called his company ‘Windy’ in honour of his father’s sturdy fishing vessels.

At a time when Scandinavian producers ruled the European market, revolutionising boating and showing millions how to have fun on the water, Vold hired the best designers, sought out the finest boat builders and craftsmen and not only created a world-beating brand, but succeeded in turning the Windy name into a marque of quality.

57 years on, Windy Boats is proud to live according to Vold’s legacy, and to build production and custom boats which are acknowledged throughout the world as second to none.

Saltwater Solutions have a number of new boats coming into stock for 2023, from the SR28CC to the 32 Grand Zonda and also the 34 Alize. Our 27 Solano has already been sold into a local Poole marina, we’re super proud that our first sale will be local to help form part of the new Windy family.

Are you a Windy boat owner? If so SWS would love to hear from you, with a view to keep you up to date on news, reviews, open days, events and information on new products coming into season.

SWS are also brokers for used Windy Boats, so if a new one is not quite in your budget then why not make contact and see what SWS have to offer, alternatively if you’re looking to sell your Windy we can also help with this process.

We are very excited to be given this opportunity to work with the very well-known Windy brand, we personally look forward to meeting old and new clients within the boating community and our team are really motivated to take Windy forward to the next level within the UK

Windy Sales Manager, Fredrik Delic comments, “Windy has had a long and successful history in British leisure boating, in fact its leading all the way back to the 70`s – and has always been of great importance for us.

We are now very excited to development this key market even further together with the Saltwater Solutions Team. With our strong model range and new energic Dealership we will intensify our visibility and offer in the UK.”
