Founded in 1964 by Don Aronow, Walt Walters and Jim Wynne, Donzi Yachts are builders of fast, high-performance sportfishing boats. The company debuted by first launching its small, 16ft V-hull racer called the “Sweet 16” by Donzi fans. The extremely trendy boat was even owned by President Lyndon B. Johnson, just to demonstrate its popularity.
Thanks to their high maneuverability and exceptional speed, Donzi boats continued to grow and become more and more prolific on the boating scene. Although the company had changed hands a few times, their reputation certainly remained as is, and governments including United States used these fast boats to catch drug runners.
In 1988, Bob Roscioli took ownership of the company and shifted production to the Roscioli Yachting Center in Fort Lauderdale. Under this new ownership, the company has been able to expand further to include center console boats, performance boats, runabouts and sports cruisers.
