John Rosatti was born in Brooklyn, New York on March 1 1944. He was raised in a traditional Italian household and attended Catholic School and Mass on a regular basis. Mr. Rosatti purchased his first pre-owned vehicle dealership, Plaza Auto Mall, in 1978. The business was a huge success. The dealership’s most remarkable achievements to date were being featured in the Top 100 by Ward’s Automotive for numerous years. The business expanded rapidly and Rosatti planted dealerships in various other states; including Nevada, New Jersey, and Florida. In 2001 after the devastating loss of his loving wife, Bonni, John Rosatti and his three children moved to Florida where a he began partaking in cigarette boat races. He and a longtime friend and business partner decided to turn their love of boats into a business venture and founded Millennium Super Yachts located in North Palm Beach, Florida. He is a major investor in businesses such as real estate and restaurants. Another quality that has set John Rosatti apart from other business entrepreneurs is giving back to the community. He has made many generous donations to numerous charities such as the American Heart Association, The Boy’s and Girl’s Club of Broward County, and the G & P foundation for Cancer Research. He also pledged $1,000,000, his largest charitable donation to date, to the Benjamin School, in the memory of his former wife Bonni Rosatti. John Rosatti is undoubtedly a man of character, and most of all; class. One of Rosatti’s favorite distractions is collecting classic, one of a kind Hot Rods. His present collection consists of 13 cars including a 1946 Corvette, three ‘41 Willy’s, and a ’68 Plymouth Road Runner. Another activity that Mr. Rosatti deeply enjoys is sailing on his luxurious 157-foot yacht, the Nice n’ Easy. This boat was specially built by Christensen Yachts, which is the leading designer of high valued, compound fiberglass, ocean voyaging motor yachts. Because of the wonderful results Rosatti received with this specific yacht corporation, he recently decided to form a business contract to design and build Christensen Yacht’s 4th Custom 160’ Series. This highly successful entrepreneur has been featured in magazines such as Showboats International, and Yachting Magazine.
