Notable 80 Donzi Yacht Owners
Pictured to the right is a group of well-respected marine industry experts who share one thing in common. They have all owned an 80 Donzi Yacht. Bill Royster (third to the left), owner of the world-renowned Los Suenos Resort and Marina in Costa Rica, still owns his 80 Donzi Yacht, NUMERO UNO. He purchased his 80 Donzi Yacht back in 2015 from Galati Yacht Sales. He has traveled all over from the Florida Keys and Cancun to Costa Rica, where NUMERO UNO currently resides at the Los Suenos Marina. NUMERO UNO has also had its fair share of top-level tournaments including, one of the most competitive tournament series worldwide — the Los Suenos Signature Triple Crown.
Personal Experiences
Bill Royster took to Marlin Magazine talking about his 80 Donzi. “I personally thought I would never own an enclosed flybridge boat. As I’ve gotten older though, I like not having the wind in my face! The Donzi has been a highlight for my whole family. They all used to fish on the Cabo with me for years, and they were hoping I was going to buy a larger boat. We have rebuilt the Donzi from the ground up. We just finished rebuilding the engines, installing new generators, and we also added three Seakeeper 9s. So when we are at the seamounts on the overnight trips, it’s like being in the marina. It’s one of the most comfortable boats I’ve ever owned.”
