Endeavour Yacht Corporation was founded in 1974 by John Brooks and Rob Valdes in Largo, Florida. Both of them had been earlier associated with big names in the industry such as Morgan, Irwin, Gulfstar, Lazzara, and Columbia Yachts. The 1980s ushered in a new era in boat building and the pressure was on for more performance-oriented designs and updated construction methods. The charter market was growing and they wanted faster, more comfortable boats. Endeavour began to respond to this need by introducing the Endeavour 33. Also, to improve performance, Endeavour used Klegecell closed-cell polyvinyl foam coring and incorporated a multi-axial steel reinforced 'force grid' bonded to the hull for stiffness.
