"We believe strongly in our role as the innovative force in the powerboat industry in producing the safest, fastest, most seaworthy, most reliable, most beautiful and most technologically advanced boats in the world." "The results are greater speed, better maneuverability, superior acceleration and a safer, more comfortable ride." (Katrin Theodoli)

Classics 1966 - 1976
Magnum Marine in Miami, Florida, was founded in about 1966, when Don Aronow built two hulls specifically for the gut-busting offshore circuit. These two designs, with which he launched Magnum Marine, were the Magnum 27’ and the Magnum 35’; both went on to become World Offshore Champions in Open Class racing. To these two, very successful models he added a 16’ ski boat, the Marauder and a 16’ Catamaran, the Missile. Aronow sold Magnum Marine to Apeco in 1968. Apeco soon dropped the Missile and Marauder line, but instead, launched the Magnum 25’, 28’ and 38’. All the above models, are now called the Magnum Classics.

New Era 1976 - Now
In 1976 Magnum Marine was sold to Marchese Filippo Theodoli, an Italian boat builder, and his wife Katrin. This brought a major change in the product line. Filippo Theodoli had the innovative idea of applying high-performance technology to larger, more luxurious yachts. And thus, the first high-performance yachts were born. Yachts, that would reach the speeds of the race boats, but would have the comforts of the traditional yacht . The New Era Magnums.
