Endeavour Yacht Corp.

Endeavour Yacht Corporation was a prominent American sailboat manufacturer based in Largo, Florida, founded in 1974 by John Brooks and Rob Valdes. Initially focused on affordable, heavy-displacement fiberglass cruising monohulls, it became a key player in the 1970s–1980s U.S. sailing boom, producing around 600–700 vessels across its lineup. Inspired by the Westsail 32's success, Endeavour targeted coastal and blue water cruisers with designs emphasizing durability, spacious interiors, and value for families or liveaboards. Notable models include the Endeavour 32, 37, and 43, designed by in-house talents like Dennis Robbins, Johan Valentijn, and Robert K. Johnson. The company briefly pivoted to catamarans in 1990 under Bob Vincent as Endeavour Catamaran Corp. after a 1988 bankruptcy, but this is a separate entity. Endeavour Yacht Corp. ceased monohull production in 1988 due to market saturation and economic pressures,
