Boat Comments
The "Joie de Vie" is truly a one-of-kind custom sportfishing yacht, built by an experienced owner who spared no expense during her construction. This vessel has a solid fiberglass bottom, not infused, cored, or cold molded. She is the only Buddy Davis 52' Express with shallow draft tunnels, having a draft of just 3'7". A pair of 1360 HP common rail MAN Diesel engines deliver a comfortable cruise of 32-34 knots with a top end speed of 40 knots. The tournament cockpit features two large console freezers, an underdeck fish box, transom Carolina-style fish box/baitwell, a Release Marine fighting chair with rocket launcher, teak deck, teak coverboards, padded coaming, console tackle stations, integrated gaff storage, six flush mount rod holders, an Eskimo E-600 Ice Maker, and custom stainless steel corner hawse pipes. The helm has a teak deck, wrap-around seating with storage below, a teak bridge table, and a pair of Release Marine helm chairs. Electronics outfitting is top notch with a Northstar 972 and two Furuno 15' multi-function Navnet systems. The Pipewelders hardtop features an overhead electronics box and a large rod locker. Below decks is a large salon, spacious galley, a master stateroom with a private head/shower, and a second aft stateroom with a full size berth, custom upper bunk, washer/dryer unit, and a private head and shower.
If you are in the market for a large express sportfisherman, the "Joie de Vie" is a must see. Cost from Buddy Davis Yachts to replace this vessel, with outfitting, is $2,079,000. Carolina flare with a knife sharp entry, a fiberglass bottom, gelcoat finish, Pipewelders tower, 32-34 knot cruise, and a two stateroom / two head layout make the "Joie de Vie" truly the best in its class. The vessel is captain maintained and 100% ready to fish offshore or cruise the islands. Boat has low hours. The owner is moving up to a larger custom sportfisherman. Warranties remain.
