Bonadeo 368 Walk Around

It’s often been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. When you first meet Larry Bonadeo, you can’t help but be struck by the intensity of his eyes—bright aqua-marine, providing a portal to the inner being of a man with an uncompromising passion about building the finest boats possible, anywhere and everywhere… a pretty ambitious goal when you set up shop in Stuart, Florida, one of the world’s premiere custom boat-building towns. The Bonadeo Boatworks company motto reads, “Built by owners for owners, when only quality counts.”

When Larry later decided that he wanted a smaller boat built to yacht-quality standards, he couldn’t find one, so he did what any successful businessman does when he can’t find what he wants “off the shelf”: he decided to build one himself. The boat, a 31-footer, proved so successful and generated so much admiration and interest that in short order it established the family owned and operated Bonadeo Boatworks. After a double-handful of launches in the lower-to-mid 30-foot range, late last year the Bonadeo 368 Walk Around was splashed.

Bonadeo boats are constructed with a cold molded vacuum bagged process, utilizing Vinyl Ester and Epoxy Resins, Kevlar, Carbon Fiber, Biaxial Fiberglass and Composite Cores. Each boat is built by hand one at a time starting with conceptual ideas from the prospective owner, through finalization with the naval engineer/designer. From that point the construction process begins.

The topside overall layout is fairly standard and this boat sports a complete arsenal of angling systems and equipment, while extra touches and absolute attention to detail abound, too numerous to detail here.

A contoured door on the starboard side of the helm pod swings forward, providing access down below. There you find the head, sink (with Corian countertop), Vitrifrigo stainless refrigerator/freezer, an exotic hard wood interior of book-matched open-grain lacewood trimmed in Sapele hardwood, and durable and low maintenance Amtico flooring… not to mention a separate mechanical/pump room that’s pre-wired and exhaust plumbed for a future generator and fuel tank, should the owner desire.

Oh yeah, and there’s the queen berth complete with an LCD/LED TV, and 6’5” of headroom. Did I mention this is all down below… on a 37-foot center console?!
