2001 Donzi 73 Sportfish

If you have done your research then you know when Bob Roscioli decided to make a Donzi 73 Sport Yacht Convertible it turned into one of the best hulls he has ever made. This 73 with a displacement of 96,000 lbs will not only cruise at 30knots very comfortably through true 5-7' seas she can be slowed down to take on extreme conditions comfortably and with a fuel capacity of 3,000 gallons her range is extremely impressive. Her twin MTU 16V- 2,000 HP engines (6k hrs) will bring her to a top speed of near 40 knots. She is a head turner with her ice blue painted hull and her beautifully appointed interior. She has had both bottom half's of her MTU's rebuilt and she is ready for tournament fishing or to cruise to the Bahamas. What really impressed me about this boat was the way it handled. Roscioli did a great job setting up the steering with less than four turns lock to lock. The boat turns at speed like a runabout and handles in close quarters just fine; even with all the windage of the hull and superstructure, it doesn’t kite around. The R-73 shows off its fishing potential with trolling valves that provide a clean wash and the perfect speed for slow trolling. The vessel also bumps in and out of gear as smoothly as silk – a joy for anyone fishing live baits. The center-pod helm puts everything within easy reach of the skipper. You can see the corners from the helm when backing around, and the folks at Roscioli added a neat clear panel in the bridge deck, so you can also see the angler and the reel in the chair. The helm features three chairs and a recessed space in the hardtop to house electric teaser reels. And most importantly, visibility is very clear looking forward and to the sides. Inside, the yacht boasts a true VIP stateroom with an en suite head, along with a beautifully appointed guest cabin that provides generous space, rich wood finishes, and abundant storage. The expansive salon spans nearly one-third of the yacht’s overall length, offering an inviting area for entertaining and relaxation. Below the galley, well-designed crew quarters provide direct access to the engine room and cockpit, ensuring both comfort and efficiency. With its superior build and elegant design, the Donzi 73 Convertible stands out as a remarkable luxury sportfishing vessel. Upgrades: Triple Garmin 7620 displays at the helm and one in cockpit.
