2027 Buddy Davis Davis 52 Express

The 2027 Buddy Davis 52 Express is a premier sportfishing vessel, celebrated for its exceptional offshore capabilities and robust construction. Buddy Davis is a name synonymous with quality and performance in the sportfishing community, and the 52 Express lives up to this reputation with its deep-V hull design, ensuring a smooth ride even in rough seas. This model is perfect for serious anglers who demand a reliable and high-performing platform for their fishing adventures. The spacious cockpit is designed with sportfishing in mind, providing ample room for tackling big game fish. Inside, the yacht features high-quality finishes and attention to detail, offering a comfortable retreat after a day on the water. With a length of 52 feet and a beam of 16 feet, this vessel is well-suited for offshore sportfishing tournaments and long-range cruising. However, potential buyers should be aware of the high fuel consumption typical at cruising speeds and the limited interior space due to the express design. Located in Miami, Florida, this new 2027 model is ready to deliver exceptional performance on the open seas.

The 52 Express was designed by the creative minds of the Davis Engineering Team to be slightly wider and significantly lighter than the models currently on the water, yet retain classic lines and unmatched sea-keeping abilities that are synonymous with Davis boats. Layout below decks features two generous staterooms and two head accommodations. The center line helm provides all-around visibility and a matching helm seat gives the copilot an equal sense of power. Just aft of the command center, two luxurious L-shaped settees allow guests to stay close to all the action, whether fishing or cruising. The cockpit is designed for serious fishing with its built-in bait well, fish box and freezer.
