DCB Performance Boats: A Legacy of Excellence in Fast, Custom Boats
Tony Chiaramonte, the Vice President and co-owner of DCB Performance Boats, a company with its custom roots born in California, is now firmly rooted in Phoenix, Arizona. Initially christened as "Dave’s Custom Boats" by its founder, Dave Hemmingson, in 1990, DCB rapidly secured its reputation as the premier destination for elite, custom-fitted Eliminator Daytonas and other high-end outboard powered tunnel boats.
Starting in 1993, Chiaramonte climbed the ranks, beginning by handling rudimentary tasks like sweeping floors and cleaning boats. His dedication allowed him to absorb the nuances of boat building. Now, in 2023, Chiaramonte guides the brand, which boasts an impressive portfolio of over 15 unique boat models, highlighting the recent M37R and the forthcoming M42R catamarans.
DCB, producing a limited number of fewer than 20 boats annually, underscores its commitment to deliver high performance marvels tailored to each owner's vision. Each vessel, a testament to expert craftsmanship, is meticulously constructed in-house, leveraging cutting-edge boat building technologies.
Chiaramonte, synonymous with high-performance marine craftsmanship, is a seasoned driver known for piloting his boats to speeds of 170 mph and beyond. He undertakes a personal responsibility, rigorously water testing each boat alongside its new owner, ensuring their confidence and adeptness in boat handling and safety.
This commitment to excellence culminated when Chiaramonte's prowess earned him an esteemed spot in the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout’s Bob Morgan Memorial Hall of Fame. For those seeking unparalleled boat craftsmanship, DCB Performance Boats remains a beacon in the industry.
