2009 Donzi 35 ZFX Cuddy

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Donzi squeezed every inch of utility out of this 35-footer. The wide walkaround bow makes line handling and anchoring simple, even with a full crew on board, and the deep freeboard keeps everyone feeling secure when the wind kicks up. The helm seating is thoughtfully designed so you can run comfortably whether you’re standing in a lively chop or settled in for a long cruise. Below, the cuddy offers a proper place to stretch out, change, or escape the midday heat, rather than just token storage space. Oversized deck drains, stout hardware, and thick bolsters all speak to a hull built for real-world use, not just sunny brochure days.

In these waters, conditions can swing quickly from glassy mornings to afternoon wind chop, and the 35 ZFX Cuddy is built to take that shift in stride. The stepped hull softens the ride when you’re crossing open fetch, while the generous beam keeps the boat stable when you’re drifting, rafting up, or loading friends and gear. The secure walkaround layout is ideal for frequent docking, sandbar runs, and busy weekend traffic, giving everyone a safe path from bow to stern. With the protection of a cuddy and serious offshore bones, this Donzi suits both quick inshore hops and longer runs to quieter anchorages without feeling out of its element.
