In 1985, the marine world witnessed the dawn of what would become a legacy in watercraft excellence - Dorado Custom Boats. Born in a humble shop in Clearwater, Florida, and now anchored in a state-of-the-art facility in Ozona, Dorado boats quickly emerged as the fisherman’s top choice. The journey commenced with the iconic Dorado 30, a hallmark of quality and design, which still embodies the spirit of Dorado's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.
The pivotal moment in Dorado's history was the launch of the Dorado 23. Designed by Bob Lickert, it revolutionized the concept of versatility in boating, seamlessly blending inshore and offshore capabilities. This vessel, lauded for its exceptional performance, confirmed Dorado's prowess in creating boats that cater to both the thrill of ocean exploration and the finesse of inland navigation.
Innovation continued with the introduction of the hydraulic bracket, a first in the industry, enhancing the shallow water fishing experience. The late '90s saw the addition of the Dorado 40, a testament to luxury, functionality, and fuel efficiency, crafted to the discerning angler's desires.
