Research 2012 - Buddy Davis Boats - 70 Sportfisherman

Between Tahiti and Bora Bora, catching marlin means running in six-to-eight foot seas. Cruising from Sardinia and Sicily, mistrals can whip calm Mediterranean seas into 12-foot walls of water driven by 60-knot northerlies. Having been bred to brave the fierce Oregon Inlet of North Carolina's Outer Banks, the Buddy Davis 70 Sportfisherman is at home wherever turbulent waters are found. Smooth. Soft. Safe. Dry. All the attributes of the legendary Davis ride, only bigger. Faster. More powerful. The secret to this ride is it's ingeniously designed bottom. Deep and narrow, it will part seas in near biblical style. Yet straight-line performance alone does not measure a true sportfisherman's ultimate capability. Take the helm and put this boat through her paces. She's agile. Nimble. Especially for a boat of her size. Able to back down on that marlin. And easily maneuver into that tight slip.

Davis Yachts celebrates this athletic performance with lines of unrivaled beauty. Like an artist with a huge canvas, Davis was truly inspired to create this tour de force. Admired from every angle, her signature bow flare, curved tumblehome and sweeping sheer will move even the non-boater to heartfelt emotion. Davis infuses every aspect of the Buddy Davis 70 Sportfisherman with his passion for elegance. Enter through the salon door and experience the refined splendor of a grand salon designed to pamper. Featuring generous, luxurious seating around a hand-finished, custom teak cocktail table, a built-in wet bar and ice maker, wine captain, high performance CD/stereo sound system with flat-screen television and DVD player, the Buddy Davis 70 is meant to entertain on a magnificent scale. Acres of counter space adorn a fully-equipped galley that would thrill the most accomplished chef, and an adjacent dinette keeps the salon free for lounging. A pantry/utility room offers storage lockers, washer and dryer, freezer, and loads of custom rod storage. An alternative layout utilizes this space for crew quarters complete with wet head. Fit for a king, the full-width master stateroom is located amidships and features a king-sized bed, exquisitely crafted custom cabinetry, large hanging lockers, state-of-the-art entertainment center with flat-screen TV, an executive work station and his 'n hers twin heads. Two matching guest staterooms offering stacked berths are to port and starboard. A VIP guest stateroom is forward and features a double sized island bed, entertainment center, hanging locker and abundant storage. Two guest heads, each with stall showers, allow families to cruise in privacy. Choose the traditional, open flybridge or the fully enclosed, air-conditioned pilothouse. Either way, piloting this yacht from the trademark Davis helm station is every captain's dream. Visibility is excellent, and the space and built-in amenities will satisfy everyone. To create exceptionally unique interiors, the Davis Design Team works closely with each owner, choosing from a list of standard luxury appointments or custom options.

Davis Yachts knows how to make a statement that is all yours. But don't let all this elegance fool you. Beneath it all, the 70 Sportfisherman is a true-blooded, tournament-winning fishing machine. From the keel to the waterline, its solid fiberglass is so thick, it's bullet proof. Above the waterline, advanced composites are used to save weight and increase rigidity. Every detail shows Davis' personal influence. Examine the list of standard features closely, and you'll know this remarkable vessel was meant to fish. It starts with the live baitwell, fish boxes, freezer with bait trays, transom door and more. It continues with the enclosed cockpit shower and head. And if your favorite fishing or cruising grounds include skinny water, you can opt for Davis' new shallow draft prop tunnels that reduce draft to less than 4 feet.The Bahamas, Florida's West Coast, and the Chesapeake Bay will be seeing this shallow water contender. Throughout its construction and as long as you own your 70 Sportfisherman, you will have direct access to your Buddy Davis Team. It is our responsibility that your greatest expectations are exceeded every step of the way, from your first visit to the day of commissioning and beyond. While you may be able to buy other 70' Sportfishermen yachts, you'll never experience anything as rewarding as being part of the creative process with Davis Yachts and its dedicated team. And you'll never experience anything like the Buddy Davis 70.
