Reported model names include Alegria and Prestancia, and the builder also offered cabin cruisers, open yachts, runabouts and cuddy models. The boats were marketed in lengths from roughly 4 to 14 meters, with emphasis on performance, styling and onboard comfort. Canadian boating coverage described Doral as a builder of high-end fiberglass express cruisers with in-house design staff.
