Historical:
Established in 1976, Scarano Boat Building operates a vessel design and construction business, located in the Port of Albany in New York’s Capital Region, and Classic Harbor Lines runs a water vessel sightseeing business that operates in New York City; Rhode Island and Key West, Florida. With daily public tours and private excursions, the high demand for the company’s vessels warranted the construction of a new, larger boat so plans were made for the America 2.0.
