Roscioli Yachts Review

Bob Roscioli founded Roscioli Yachts over 20 years ago, through the purchase of the rights to the Donzi name from Dick Genth. Roscioli Yachts is a separate company from Donzi Marine, which sells considerably smaller boats. Roscioli states the construction process for the R-80 is similar to the boats he initially built. Roscioli continues to build boats strong by his simple declaration which is: "It's tough." Roscioli Yachts are designed to take harsh water conditions with hand-laid fiberglass hull that is over an inch thick. The yachts have four foam-cored stringers, running the length of the vessel, are reinforced with uncut lengths of fiberglass and resin. Roscioli Yachts believes this makes a stronger yacht due to the decrease in seams.
