Roscioli Yachting Center
Could you briefly describe some of the early history and how you started Roscioli?
Bob Roscioli started his career in the marine industry as an apprentice in 1962. Within a year’s time he began to develop the painting technique that would launch his world-renowned marine companies, Donzi by Roscioli International, Inc. and the Roscioli Yachting Center, Inc. Today he applies his vast experience, technical knowledge, and unparalleled standard of excellence into all facets of custom yacht building and yacht maintenance. Bob sets the benchmark for quality. He personally checks each project, step-by-step, to ensure that only the highest standard of quality and craftsmanship is maintained or surpassed.
