The people behind every BoatMat Corporation product.

Founder & President

Patrick Durso

Patrick Durso — Founder and President, BoatMat Corporation

Patrick is the Founder and President of BoatMat Corporation, established in 1995 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida—the yachting capital of the world.

With over three decades dedicated exclusively to the marine mat industry, Patrick has built BoatMat Corporation into a globally recognized name, with products trusted aboard some of the finest yachts, sportfish vessels, and waterfront properties worldwide.

His approach has always been singular and uncompromising: produce the finest custom yacht mats in the world, without exception. Every product that leaves the facility reflects that standard.

Sales Director

Terri Strauss

Terri Strauss — Sales Director, BoatMat Corporation

Our Sales Director, Terri Strauss, brings a lifetime of experience rooted in both the South Florida and global marine industry.

Raised within one of South Florida’s most respected marine families, Terri grew up immersed in the business from the earliest days. Long before the modern superyacht market evolved into what it is today, she was already a trusted resource—someone professionals turned to for guidance, product knowledge, and solutions.

Terri played an instrumental role in the growth of Boat Owners Warehouse (BOW), D.S. Hull, and BOW Worldwide, helping shape them into recognized cornerstones of the marine industry. Her experience spans decades across retail, wholesale, and global distribution at the highest levels.

Her knowledge is not simply extensive—it is instinctive. From captains to shipyards to seasoned professionals, Terri has long been regarded as a trusted voice and a go-to resource.

We are fortunate to have Terri come out of retirement to join BoatMat Corporation, where she now brings her experience, relationships, and insight directly to our clients—here in the yachting capital of the world and across the globe.
