History and shipyard
Doral originated in Quebec and began operating under that name in 1972. Sources place its early production in Grand-Mère, Quebec, with later industry coverage noting a second plant in Ontario and the company’s focus on higher-end fiberglass powerboats. Doral was known as a boutique builder, producing boats one at a time rather than high-volume output. The brand is now inactive, and its models are primarily seen on the pre-owned market.
Model range and design
Doral’s range was organized around sport yachts, express cruisers and an elite series. 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.
