Windy Boats History & Heritage

Established in 1966 by Hugo Vold, Windy traces its roots to the shores of the Skagerrak in southern Norway. Inspired by his father's sturdy fishing boats, all named 'Vindy', Vold's deep respect for the sea shaped the brand's ethos from the outset.

With a commitment to seaworthiness and superior quality, Vold named his company 'Windy' in honor of his father's vessels. Despite Scandinavian dominance in the European market, Windy emerged as a beacon of excellence, driven by top designers and skilled craftsmen.

Now, 57 years later, Windy remains faithful to Vold's legacy, crafting production and custom boats revered worldwide for their unmatched quality and craftsmanship. Headquartered in Sweden and Norwegian-owned, the brand continues to uphold its reputation for excellence, even as production expands to Poland.
