Roscioli Donzi 58 Sport Cruise Boat Review

• By Capt. Karl Anderson
• Updated: November 20, 2017

At 6 feet 7 inches tall, Bud Koch casts a long shadow on the dock. He spends a great deal of time fishing with his son, who happens to be an inch taller than Bud, so they need a lot of headroom in the salon and belowdecks, as well as a roomy cockpit. Koch has owned and built many boats in different configurations, so when he was researching to build a new one, he had some specific needs for himself and his family.

“I had some wacky ideas and looked around for the builder that could ­create what we wanted,” he says. “We found Roscioli, and it delivered.” What the longtime builder of Roscioli Donzi Sportfishing Yachts built was a proven 58-foot hull in an enclosed salon express style, known as the 58 Sport Cruise . Bob Roscioli is no stranger to building highly customized fishing boats. He and his established team have built 63 boats to date — a darn good run for any custom builder.

As I walked through Classic Coke with Koch and Roscioli, I didn’t see any wacky ideas. What I did see was a good deal of efficient, commonsense use of space, with a layout that offers plenty of room for comfortable living, plush soft goods and quality components, married with an ­excellent execution of systems ­installation and integration.

To get the results Koch and his family were ­looking for, the team at Roscioli built a complete plywood mock-up of the interior spaces with cabinets, bunks and head areas. This allowed them to get a true sense of how the living spaces would feel and how they could be best sized and used. The mock-up process not only revealed some spatial things the family wanted to adjust, but it also gave the Roscioli team the chance to connect with the owners and build them the boat they really wanted, as well as offer the ability to refine storage spaces and take advantage of underutilized space.

The Salon and Belowdecks Layout

Starting belowdecks, the three-stateroom, two-and-half-head layout offers two full staterooms. The forward stateroom has a raised-island queen berth with storage under and over in outboard cabinets along the ceiling. The head with full shower and custom stone counter-tops is to starboard just outside the door, so it can be shared by guests and crew. Along the port side of the companionway is the guest/crew stateroom with over-and-under bunks and storage under. Just aft of the guest stateroom is the day head.

Along the aft bulkhead to port at the bottom of the companionway stairs is the full galley with two U-Line undercounter refrigerator drawers and two more undercounter freezer drawers. Stone countertops, over-counter storage cabinets, cooktop, a convection microwave, and a stainless sink and stainless-faced bin dishwasher round out the cooking space.

The other master/VIP is aft to starboard across from the galley and features a king berth, the inboard side having the lower hanging locker that opened up the room. The large head is forward.

The Command Deck

The helm deck salon features a centerline helm forward with two large Garmin screens and the CAT engine displays, as well as digital navigation and autopilot. On either side are the fuel transfer controls, power switches, VHF radio, Fusion audio and Seakeeper gyro control. Visibility is excellent, with a stylish custom full-width windshield that has no ­mullions to block vision.

Starboard of the helm and forward is a lift-up lid that opens to reveal full-length rod storage, an awesome use of space gained from the mock-up process. To port of the helm is all open to go down the stairs to the galley, so there is no direct overhead ceiling in the galley — another mock-up find that really opens the galley to the helm deck so it does not feel as though it is down in a hole.

A large L-shaped settee with huge storage under and ultra-easy lift-up seats to access it all is to port with a custom high-low table. Along the starboard side is a full-length stone-top cabinet with undercounter wine cooler, ice maker, electric distribution panel, pop-up television and two U-Line refrigerated drink box drawers, which are fully aft at the salon door entry.

Mezzanine and Cockpit

Moving out to the mezzanine deck, Koch needed an aft helm so he could see the kites when fishing because there is no bridge deck or tower. Roscioli built a fully functional helm in the starboard corner of the mezzanine with a comfortable custom stool, electronics and full controls. Remarkably, there is enough room to accommodate his height even while standing on the mezzanine deck. Electric teaser reels are mounted overhead in a concealed compartment, and the hydraulic outriggers are deployed directly from the helm.

Ladders were off the list for this longtime boating family, having had plenty of boats with them. “It takes some getting used to, running the boat from down here when you are used to a flybridge,” Koch says. “But my wife didn’t want to climb the ladder anymore, and I didn’t want to be alone on the bridge away from the action. This layout gives me everything we need to fish hard and be safe.”

The aft bulkhead window is another custom piece that Koch required, and Roscioli pulled it off perfectly. It is fully retractable — like a car door’s window — with an airbag system that inflates as it goes down, sealing it off to keep water out. This opens the salon to the cockpit and puts his guests right in the action.

The Engine Room

Moving into the engine room, there are mechanical spaces on both sides with watermaker membranes, main engine electrical distribution, fuel transfer valves and the like. The twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines are nestled in the brightly lit engine room with good access all around to inspect and service vitals.

An Onan 21-kilowatt generator is aft to port, and custom Von’Widmann underwater exhausts are in each aft corner of the engine room. As they have always done, Roscioli’s engineers integrate all components to be oversize and heavy-duty. There is nothing dainty about these boats. The performance is also impressive: At 1,600 rpm, Classic Coke is cruising at 31 knots and burning 100 gph; wide-open throttles produce a top speed of 41 knots at 2,200 rpm.

The cockpit is all fishing, and taking center stage is the massive, custom-built ­pressurized transom livewell. No getting on your knees to get bait from in-deck wells; this transom aquarium will hold a host of bait for their fishing in Florida and the Bahamas. There are large lazarette hatches on either side of the Release Marine Battle Saddle with beefy, positive lock handles, and the Seakeeper 16 gyrostabilizer is positioned beautifully on the centerline just aft of the engine-room entrance.

Classic Coke is an excellent example of the things that can be done when a customer and custom builder come together to build a boat that is not so specialized that it will be hard to sell, but instead create a rig that can cruise, travel and fish at the highest level while giving the owner the things he needs to keep his family involved in a safe, well-built platform.

LOA: 58′ | Beam: 17’8″ | Draft: 4’10” | Displ.: 140,500 lb. Fuel: 1,400 gal. | Water: 181 gal. | Power: Twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT 1,925 hp diesels

Roscioli Yachting Center Founder Bob Roscioli Dies

Bob Roscioli, founder and owner of Fort Lauderdale’s Roscioli Yachting Center, has died.

Roscioli, who was a marine industry icon, passed away on Monday, July 27 after being hospitalised with COVID-19, according to reports.

Beginning his career as an apprentice in 1962, Roscioli went on to become a well-known industry figure in the South Florida marine industry.

His career spanned many notable achievements, including the foundation of the state-of-the-art, full-service shipyard Roscioli Yacht Center.

It was here he became known for personally checking each project to ensure the highest quality was maintained, gaining a reputation as a meticulous perfectionist.

In the 1980s, he began building custom sportfishing yachts with Roscioli Deonzi Yachts, a long-held ambition.

A statement released by the Roscioli Yacht Center said: “Bob’s mantra “Today’s the Day” is the way he started every day at the yard. He could be seen walking the shipyard every morning, preparing for the day ahead.

“A true friend to first responders and veterans, Bob was an advocate of providing jobs and teaching those who have served or needed a chance. A true legacy to the marine industry.”

Bradford Marine acquires Roscioli Yachting Center

Onewater has sold the roscioli yachting center in order to reduce debt and fund future mergers and acquisitions….

OneWater has completed a sale and leaseback arrangement of the Roscioli Yachting Center with Bradford Marine . The Florida-based yachting services provider will acquire the refit and maintenance service operations at Roscioli and all real estate assets, and in turn, will provide support for the OneWater Yacht Group and Sunseeker brands. 

“We are proud to have acquired the Roscioli Yachting Center and to partner with OneWater on this transaction,” says John Kelly, CEO, Bradford Marine. “We are excited about combining our adjoining properties and the expanded capabilities this transaction provides us.”

Roscioli Yachting Center is a full-service marina in Fort Lauderdale, providing services ranging from custom carpentry and fabrications to painting and refinishing, and mechanics. 

“Roscioli’s comprehensive yacht and mega yacht service offering is a natural complement to the highly regarded Bradford family of companies, and we look forward to a continued partnership for years to come,” says Austin Singleton, CEO, OneWater.

The proceeds from the sale of Roscioli will be used to reduce OneWater’s long-term debt, as well as fund its ongoing plans for further merger and acquisition opportunities.

“This strategic relationship allows us to sharpen our focus on growing our Sunseeker Yacht sales, warranty and service operations, while also strengthening our balance sheet,” adds Singleton.

OneWater Marine is one of the largest marine retailers in the US, operating 97 retail locations and 11 distribution centres. Notably, the boating conglomerate acquired Denison Yachting  in April 2022.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.
