Formula Yachts

Formula was founded in 1962 by boating legend Don Aronow in Miami, Florida. Formula caught the industry's attention by manufacturing an original 233 Deep-V hull, which earned notable victories on the national offshore racing circuit.

For the next 45 years, Formula continued to produce boats that are world-renowned for beautiful styling, advanced engineering, and exciting performance. With a long-established philosophy of uncompromising quality in every detail, Formula is recognized as today's premier American-built cruiser.
