In 1988, Regulator Marine set out to reinvent the deep-vee center console experience and engineered what is known today as the Legendary Ride. Built in North Carolina and tested against the challenging conditions of the Outer Banks, Regulator boats are seriously tough sportfishers known for their exceptional fit & finish, as well as a dry, soft, and comfortable ride.

Jose C. DaPonte, the President and Owner of C&C Marine has built his life around building quality boats since the early 1970’s. Joe is one of the foremost, innovative, authorities in composite boat building and tool making. His passion for the sea is founded in his Portuguese heritage. He loves to work, his family works beside him daily, building better boats everyday, and during the summer months they can be found fishing on them after hours.

Joe decided to locate the production facility in the boat building capital of New England- Bristol, Rhode Island. We test, commission new models, train Dealers and new Boats Owners on beautiful Narragansett Bay,  home of Herreschoff Marine Museum, historic Newport, and only a short ride to the incredible fishing grounds of Rhode Island Sound.
