History and shipyard
Giancarlo Dellapasqua began as an apprentice at Lugaresi naval shipyard in Bellaria near Rimini and became a shipwright in 1959. He then set up his own small yard in Savignano sul Rubicone before moving the headquarters to Marina di Ravenna in 1970. The company traces its DC brand to 1960, when it built 17 boats in its first year. In 1990, Dellapasqua took full ownership of the DC brand and continued the business with his sons.
Models and construction
Dellapasqua DC has built a wide range of motorboats, with cataloged lengths spanning roughly 7 to 18 meters. Early DC boats used flat-bottom hulls, but the yard later adopted deep-V hull forms inspired by Ray Hunt, which became a defining feature of its designs. The first fiberglass model was the DC 6, introduced in 1971. The brand is also associated with custom-built production and practical family cruising yachts, including models such as the DC 16, 11 DC, and DC 7 Sedan.
