Brazilian Boats and Yachts Enjoy Tailwinds with Tax Incentives and Lower Costs

A model that costs up to $700,000 is displayed for the first time in nautical events in the USA; four Brazilian shipyards reveal their bets for 2023.

Bloomberg Línea — Brazilian manufacturers of luxury boats are increasingly targeting the North American market. Dedicated fairs showcasing new models of speedboats, which can cost up to $700,000 (R$3.7 million), are part of the strategies to boost foreign sales of Brazilian boat builders.

The advantages of Brazilian boats come from tax incentives and lower production costs. This year, for instance, nautical fairs in Florida cities such as Miami, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale have received boats produced in Brazil.

This is the case of Triton Yachts, a manufacturer based in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, which debuted at the Miami International Boat Show, considered the largest nautical event in the world, in February. Three Triton models were displayed, such as the recently launched Triton Flyer 38 T-TOP, valued at $310,000, as well as Triton 300 Sport and Triton 370HT models.

Another Brazilian boatbuilder, Fishing Raptor, took the Fishing 390 Solarium to the Palm Beach International Boat Show, a nautical fair closing on March 26. With almost 12 meters in length and capacity to receive up to 16 passengers, the vessel has a price tag of $700,000.

Armatti Yachts, a boatyard from the souther Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, has bet on the export of supersport motorboat models ranging from 30 to 52 feet. In October, the brand delivered the first model of the new Armatti 420 Sport Fly in Miami. The 42-foot boat is valued at more than half a million dollars.

Engineer and entrepreneur Fernando Assinato, Fishing Raptor’s CEO, says the boatyard has already sold more than 20 units of the new Fishing 390 Solarium speedboat in Brazil and abroad. According to him, the North American market is interested in these models because they are designed to sail long distances.

“The vessels can be equipped with three 400hp engines and boast a speed of over 60 knots, equivalent to almost 115km per hour,” the executive told Bloomberg Linea.

Partnerships

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is another nautical event on the agenda of the world’s main boatyards in Florida, and this year it is scheduled for October 25 to 29.

Allan Cechelero, CEO of Triton Yachts, emphasizes the role of closing partnerships to expand the international operations. He says the US market demands a lot and that, in order to conquer clients there, it is necessary to participate in fairs in Florida, such as in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

Triton Yachts operates in North America under the Hanover brand in partnership with Blueride Marine LLC Group, an exclusive dealer.

“To further expand our presence in the country, Triton Yachts is represented by the Hanover brand and has partnered with Blue Ride Group, a local exclusive dealer of these models. In addition, the Miami Boat Show was an excellent opportunity to get even closer to our clients”, said Cechelero.

The North American market is seen as a watershed for Brazilian shipyards.

“It is gratifying seen this model exported for the first time in such a short time, especially after it was launched less than a year ago,” said Armatti Yachts CEO Fernando Assinato. “In Brazil, more than five units have already been sold, some of which are still in the design phase.”

Other markets are on the radar of the boatyards. The Santa Catarina luxury yacht brand Okean Yachts already exports boats to countries such as the USA, France, Spain, and Japan. The next bet is Australia, which has about 1 million registered boats scattered over 350 marinas, with 35% of them imported.

At the beginning of the year, the 15-meter long, 52-foot OKEAN Yachts, costing more than $2 million, came to the market. (Divulgação/OKEAN Yachts)

In January, the Okean 52, valued at more than $2 million, unloaded in Melbourne. The six-year-old yard says it has already delivered more than $80 million in recreational vessels, with 90% of production being exported.

“We expect to have more Okean Yachts sailing in Australia soon, especially after important events such as the Sydney Boat Show, which takes place in July, and yacht fairs such as the one in Queensland, in the east of the country, with coral reefs and well known for its natural beauty,” says Ike Moreira Ferreira, Okean Yachts’ director.

Azimut Grande 27 Metri. Model valued at more than $11.20 million is now being manufactured in Brazil, the shipyard's only production branch outside Italy (Divulgação/Azimut)

The Brazilian nautical industry also builds large luxury vessels, such as the Azimut Grande 27 Metri, a model valued at more than $11.20 million. Since 2020, the yacht has also been manufactured in the Azimut Benetti group’s shipyard in Brazil, the only production subsidiary outside Italy.

With a factory in Brazil since 2010, Azimut posted domestic revenue of $82 million during the nautical year 2021/2022 (September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022). For the period 2022/2023 the projection is to exceed $102 million, a 25% increase.

Francesco Caputo, CEO of Azimut Yachts Brazil, says the megayacht designs seek to be inspired by high luxury residences. This is the case of the Grande 27 Metri, which the shipyard considers the most luxurious yacht made in Brazil, with her 27 meters, produced in the industrial park in Itajaí, Santa Catarina.

Check out the main highlights of the interview with the CEO of Fishing Raptor, Fernando Assinato, edited for clarity:

Bloomberg Línea: Compared to last year, there was an increase in costs and a pass-through to the product with readjustment in the prices of speedboats?

Fernando Assinato: We have noticed a rise in the cost of production and supplies for our vessels in the last two years and, consequently, this increase impacts the final value. On the other hand, exports dodge inflation oscillations due to the exchange rate and dollar appreciation, and this allows us to sell the boats with a higher final value abroad, mainly in the U.S.

What is the advantage of the Brazilian-produced motorboat in the perception of foreign customers in terms of price and features?

The main advantage of a boat produced in Brazil is having a lower production cost compared to other countries, especially the boats produced in Santa Catarina, due to the tax incentive. Thus, large shipyards choose the state to open a production branch in Brazil. In addition, the labor force in the south of the country is one of the most qualified, and accounts for 80% of the production of the Brazilian fleet.

Where is Brazil in terms of global sales of yachts?

According to Acobar [the Brazilian Association of Boat Builders and Implements], Brazil is a country with a lot of potential, but it is still in a nautical maturing process. Today, Brazil has the capacity to produce 3,500 fiberglass boats per year, between 16 and 100 feet, and part of this volume is exported. The association confirms that in 2021, for example, there was a 10% growth in the number of exports, and in 2022 this percentage should reach 30%.

Boat and Yacht Industry in Brazil

Beautiful beaches, a 3,400 km coastline, tropical weather, and a rising medium class are probably some of the factors that made Brazil the new market for boats and yachts. Foreign brands and manufacturers are already anchoring in the Brazilian coast, looking for prosperous business opportunities.

Foreign Investment and Market in Expansion

According to Eduardo Colunna, president of the Brazilian Association of Boat Manufacturers and its Implements (Acobar), many people in Brazil prefer rather to buy a boat than a second car . The country nowadays host 100 boat manufacturers and present a marketing increase of 10% per year.

The new boom in the Brazilian market appeared as a new possibility to European companies that are suffering from diminished sales after the economic crisis outbreak in their continent. Some major companies enjoyed the prospection of the market in Brazil, enlarging their investments in the country:

Brunswick Boat Group

The American Brunswick Boat Group is the major manufacturer of boat and yachts in the world, and, since 2012, has been actuating in Brazil . Due to the boat and yacht market in expansion in the country, the company has opened its first factory in Latin America in the Brazilian South.

Located in Joinville, Santa Catarina , the Brazilian Brunswick Boat Group unit was installed in the industrial park of Perini Business Park with investments of 22 million USD. The factory, nowadays, works with the production of two branches of yachts:

• Bayliner, with models of 23 and 25 feet,
• and Sea Ray, with boats of up to 41 feet.

The boat prices vary a lot depending on the model, but they range from 130,000 BRL to 2 million BRL.

Ferretti Group

The Ferretti Group is an Italian shipbuilding that has launched its first shipyard in Brazil in 2011. The place is located in Vargem Grande Paulista, in São Paulo , and is the only shipyard with permission to manufacture boats in Brazilian soil.

The unit had become the largest boat factory in Latin America , with 145,000 m² of land, 42,000 m² of covered area and the capacity to produce 120 boats per year. The models produced in the Vargem Grande Paulista shipyard are:

• 11 models of Ferretti Yachts: 500, 530, 550, 570, 620, 660, 700, 720, 750, 800, and 830
• 2 model from Pershing: 64 feet and 80 feet
• 1 model from Bertram: 360.

Azimut Benetti Group

The Azimut Benetti is the largest producer of mega yachts, and the first private group in the world in the luxury navigation . The Group which includes the prestigious brands Azimut Yachts, Benetti Yachts, Yachtique, Fraser Yachts, Lusben, Marina di Varazze and Royal Yacht Club Moscow offers boats between 34 feet to 70 feet.

A leader in production, this Italian brand is also working in Brazilian lands. The factory is located in Itajaí, Santa Catarina, and produces the boats listed below. The company had settled very well in the Brazilian market, with a billing of 100 million USD.

• Azimut 43 feet
• Azimut 60 feets
• Azimut 48 feets
• Azimut 70 feets.

Boat and Yacht Market

Having a boat or a yacht is still not a reality for medium class Brazilians, but that’s a future that is getting more and more possible in Brazil. The country has a boat for each 293 inhabitants, who may seem not so good, if the numbers were compared to France (1 boat for each 63 inhabitants) or to United States (1 boat for each 23 inhabitants). But, this Brazilian data actually show a good potential for the country.

Being United States and European Union targets of an enormous global crisis, Brazil with his vast territory, climate, a rising medium class and an ambitious upper class has qualified itself as very interesting market in investors eyes.The Brazilian market growth can be observed in the 16th edition of Rio Boat Show (2013).

Rio Boat Show

The event is organized every year in Rio de Janeiro , and works as exhibition of boats and yachts. The products are open to the public and possible buyers, showing new tendencies and new models of the year. Just in 2013 edition alone, more than 270 million BRL was earned within seven days of the event, with the participation of more than 43 thousand people.

The Brazilians' preference is the seven-meter speedboats, which represents 70% of the total amount of speedboats sold in Brazil. But, the luxury market is also in ascension, since the interest in larger speedboats and 40-foot yachts are increasing among the country’s population. The high in the sales of those products is a reflex of the good moment that Brazilian economy is in.

Sailing Brazil: A cruise down the country’s east coast

• Katy Stickland
• December 16, 2021

Often skipped by cruisers, Floris van Hees and Ivar Smits discover tropical anchorages, majestic animals and bustling cities while sailing Brazil and share their tips for cruising the east coast

Marinas in Rio de Janeiro are crowded and expensive. Cruisers on a budget tend to moor at Niterói, on the eastern side of the harbour, which is cheaper. Credit: marchello74/Alamy Stock Photo

The bright green vegetation of the Fernando de Noronha was the perfect backdrop as we took our first morning swim in a fortnight, writes Ivar Smits .

It extended from the top of the striking Morro do Pico peak to the golden beaches below.

As if on cue, a dolphin pirouetted out of the water close to us before another decided to take a closer look at the volcanic archipelago’s newest residents.

In the distance, a turtle came to the surface to breathe. Elegant frigate birds and acrobatic gannets flew around our Buchanan 47 ketch, Lucipara 2 .

Our first encounter with Brazil was nothing short of magical.

The island was in stark contrast to what we had seen while sailing the 1,400 miles from Cape Verde across the Atlantic Ocean.

Flora and fauna were limited to fields of seaweed, a single bird and the two fish we caught.

The only proof that we were not alone were symbols of ships on our plotter. At night, we could follow the starry sky all the way to the horizon.

The weather was anything but constant; the northeast trade wind decreased the further south we got, until leaving us altogether in the Doldrums.

There, showers would come and go and just as we wondered how long we would be stuck in this windless zone, a tropical wave brought relief.

Its strong wind pushed us out of the Doldrums and into the area where the southeast trade wind blows. It made the remainder of our first ocean crossing a breeze.

Still, the longer the trip took, the more we longed for land.

Fernando de Noronha, about 217 miles off mainland Brazil, was ideally situated on our route to Salvador de Bahía; it felt like an oasis in a blue desert.

After our morning swim we kayaked to the beach to check in with the harbourmaster, Marcos.

He barely spoke English, so Floris’ Portuguese lessons came in handy. The costs for anchoring and visiting the island were steep, so we decided to limit our stay to two days.

Not wanting to lose a minute, we immediately went for a hike as soon as the paperwork was settled.

Past a small settlement we found a viewpoint from where we could look down on a pristine, golden beach.

Rarely had we seen such an idyllic beach. Coconut-laden palm trees completed the picture of a tropical paradise.

Sailing Brazil: Two sides to Salvador

The second leg of our maiden ocean crossing took another week, but it felt shorter as the weather was fair and our pantry was full of tropical fruit and fresh vegetables.

When we approached Salvador de Bahía, a whale breached not far from the boat as if to welcome us.

Full of excitement, we sailed into a large bay lined by high-rise apartment buildings, which made the metropolis seem like a tropical version of Manhattan.

Our mood changed as we walked through the city. The historic centre boasts colourful colonial buildings, monumental churches, and museums, but heavily-armed military policemen on every corner revealed a darker side.

‘Don’t go outside the centre on foot,’ harbourmaster Dominique advised, so to visit a supermarket, we took a taxi.

We drove past dilapidated buildings, where homeless people lay on cardboard mattresses. At a set of traffic lights, a one-legged woman tried to earn some money by cleaning car windows.

Down the road an expensive SUV drove through the automatic gates of a luxury, camera-protected apartment complex. The city’s dichotomies were unmistakable.

We saw another face of Brazil when we explored Salvador’s large bay.

We dropped anchor at Ilha de Itaparica amid a dozen other cruisers. It’s well sheltered and known to be safe. There is even a marina , which we only used to leave our kayak to go ashore.

In the small village there are supermarkets, restaurants and even a public standpipe where locals and cruisers alike could fill their bottles and jerry cans.

The city across the bay felt like a world away.

After an easy day sail further south, we anchored at the friendly hamlet of Gamboa, and made our way on winding paths to the village of Morro de São Paulo.

Offshore sailing skills: All you need to know

After a few hours of sweating, climbing, and clambering, we found an ideal resting place on a fairy tale beach. A refreshing sip from a coconut made it all worth it.

The water taxi back to our boat was a bonus. Further south, in the bay of Camamu, we found another idyllic anchorage at Ilha de Goio.

We were surrounded by coconut trees and managed to pick some ourselves; the coconut water was refreshing and delicious and we eked it out as we made our way towards Rio de Janeiro.

Sailing past the Abrolhos Islands, a screeching sound had us fearful that we had a sudden mechanical problem.

Our panic subsided when a humpback whale fin suddenly appeared close to Lucipara 2 , followed by a second.

During half an hour we were treated to a whale song-and-dance performance. Their sounds resonated in the cabin. Occasionally they showed themselves, flapping their fins or revealing their tails.

The spectacle reached its pinnacle when two whales jumped out of the water in unison. What a show while sailing Brazil!

The animal watching continued past Cape Frio, where we saw large seabirds. ‘Yes, they are definitely albatrosses!’ Floris shouted after consulting our bird guidebook.

Without moving their wings, these impressive birds hovered just above the water and stayed with us for hours.

Like us, they made use of the steady trade winds that made sailing Brazil and along the coast quite comfortable.

Urban delights

Just as we approached Rio de Janeiro, the sun disappeared behind Sugarloaf Mountain.

The large, iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer, brightly lit, looked down on us from afar as we sailed into Niteroi, just across the bay from Rio.

We moored in the upmarket yacht club, Charitas, and after checking in took a dip in the huge pool.

We could have floated and swam all day but we still had to formally check-in, so we took a ferry across the bay to the centre of Rio to visit the Capitania for the necessary stamps – a must in every town.

Not much later, we strolled through the hip residential area of Santa Teresa, admired gigantic trees in the botanical garden and visited Christ the Redeemer to get a good view of the city, bay and beaches.

Back at sea level, we immersed ourselves in Brazilian beach culture, sipping caipirinhas on Ipanema beach.

At the same time, the many favelas on the outskirts of the city reminded us of the staggering social inequality that has become so characteristic of Brazilian urban life.

From Rio, it is a full day’s bus ride through rolling hills to Viçosa. We were there to meet Professor Irene Cardoso at a conference on agro-ecology.

Large-scale deforestation in Brazil is mainly due to livestock and industrial agriculture, including the growing of animal feed and other monoculture crops.

‘The typical approach is to cut down the valuable wood first, burn the remaining vegetation and sell the land to farmers. Where monoculture crops are planted, they deplete the soil and leave behind barren land. Agro-ecology, on the other hand, is based on cooperation with nature,’ she told us.

We saw the importance of agro-ecology when Irene took us to a coffee farm in Araponga. Between and around coffee bushes a variety of plants and trees ensured a healthy ecosystem.

Yet the coffee forest offered more than ecological benefits.

‘Farmers pooled their savings to buy this land. Using natural methods, they made the land fertile again after the former landlords had exhausted it. Besides coffee, which they sell for income, they grow various crops for their own use. It works well; more and more people are joining the cooperative. People are even coming back from the slums to farm here!’ Irene explained.

Back on board we chose our next destination: Ilha Grande.

Literally a large island, which, thanks to numerous bays, beaches, and surrounding islands, is one of the most beautiful sailing areas in Brazil.

We would have liked to have explored here longer, but the clock was against us.

Time to clear out

Of the 90 days we were allowed to stay in Brazil, we only had two weeks left, and we still had to sail 1,000 miles to Uruguay.

The further south we sailed, the less predictable the weather became.

‘Where are the stable winds that brought us here?’ Ivar sighed. Hardly any wind was expected for the next 10 days.

Thanks to our light-wind sail we managed to reach Parati, a picturesque town dotted with colonial buildings.

While we enjoyed the atmosphere there, we also constantly checked the weather reports to see if we could sail on.

With the slightest of breezes and a lot of patience we sailed to Florianópolis. There, the zone of calm wind ended abruptly.

A cold front with strong southerly winds was forecast and we didn’t want to be at sea when it arrived.

Meanwhile, our 90-day visa had run out, so we visited the authorities to formally clear out.

But rather than leave, we anchored in another bay and waited a week for northerly winds to take us to Rio Grande, Brazil’s most southerly port.

In the dark, we sailed up the river to the pontoon belonging to the Museo Oceanographic, which we knew to be free and informal.

Since we were already cleared out, it felt like sneaking in. It worked: no one asked for our papers.

On our way out, we held our breath as we sailed past the Capitania and an incoming navy ship.

They both left us alone, so with a sigh of relief we said goodbye to a magnificent country.

Sailing Brazil made an unforgettable impression on us.

In a fantastic cruising area, tropical islands, fascinating sea creatures, and bustling cities alternated at a pleasant pace.

The security situation in some places had us worried beforehand, but did not cause any problems.

We were, however, shocked by the scale of social inequality. The contrasts between the elite and the homeless poor were enormous.

Fortunately, we met inspiring people who were and are working on solutions to tackle deforestation and poverty.

If only we could have stayed longer than three months to sail this large, absolutely breathtaking country.

Tips for sailing Brazil

Sailors for Sustainability Dutch sailors Ivar Smits and Floris van Hees are sailing around the world in their Buchanan 47 ketch, Lucipara 2 looking for inspiring and sustainable solutions to social and ecological challenges. By blogging and vlogging about the positive solutions they discover, they hope to inspire people to make positive changes. www.sailorsforsustainability.nl

The security situation in Brazil raises questions among sailors. There are many reports of crime and violence, especially in the cities.

Some anchorages and bays have a bad reputation because of past incidents. These are often known to harbourmasters and other sailors.

Noonsite ( www.noonsite.com ) can provide an up-to-date overview. We had no problems.

The marinas and yacht clubs we visited were secure and we followed the advice of local people and fellow cruisers. We always locked our boat properly when we went ashore.

On hikes, we only took a limited amount of cash with us. The coastal towns we visited are heavily dependent on tourism, so the authorities have an interest in making sure visitors are safe.

We saw many police officers in all the places we visited and did not feel unsafe anywhere. As far as we are concerned, safety is therefore no reason to avoid this part of Brazil.

Upon arrival and departure in Brazil, a visit to the Immigration Service (Policia Federal/ NEPOM) and Customs (Receita Federal) is required.

In addition, check-in and check-out with the Port Police (Capitania) is mandatory in each port.

The order in which the authorities should be visited (Immigration, Customs, Port Police) is important. Most officials often only speak Portuguese. Some basic skills in that language proved useful.

As Dutch citizens, Brazil granted us a 90-day stay as a tourist.

In principle, an extension is not possible as you have to spend at least 90 days outside of Brazil before being allowed to enter for another 90 days.

Rules may differ depending on your nationality.

Yachts in Brazil

Brazil is located in South America and is the fifth largest country in the world in terms of land area and population , boasting cultural diversity, rich history and breathtaking landscapes. This country has a long coastline and a large number of important sports and commercial seaports , especially since Brazil is one of the largest producers of raw materials and agriculture in the world, being a very important player in the global economy. Some of the most prominent ports are in Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza, among others, where you can rent yachts, motorboats, sailboats, catamarans, and enjoy the variety of ecosystems, from the Amazon jungle to sandy beaches. white and mountainous landscapes; For example, Rio de Janeiro is one of the most popular cities for yacht charters due to its beautiful beaches and coastal landscapes ; while Santos is important for commerce, but also popular for yacht charter due to its proximity to Sao Paulo.

Some of the ports in Brazil are:

Rio de Janeiro: it is one of the most important in Brazil and one of the busiest in Latin America. This port is an important center for the loading and unloading of goods, as well as a popular tourist destination for yacht and boat charters. As for marinas, there is Marina da Glória located in the Glória neighborhood and is part of Flamengo Park and has access to Guanabara Bay , one of the most beautiful in the country; In addition, there is the Quadrado da Urca sports and fishing port , the latter being a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro with a very beautiful beach and a little less crowded than Copacabana and Ipanema. The curious thing is that they are anchored distributed on the beach, but there are no docks where they can be anchored at the end of the day.

Santos : It is the main commercial port of this country and one of the most important in Latin America for foreign trade and one of the main ones for imports and exports of merchandise from Brazil.

Marina Itajaí: it is one of the largest and most modern marinas in Brazil. This marina can supply 355 boats with the most modern transportation and maintenance equipment, nautical fuel station, convenience store, gastronomic area, and 24-hour monitoring. This marina also has a privileged location in the central region of Itajaí, close to the wonderful landscapes that make up the tourist region of Costa Verde and Mar.

Salvador: It is an important port, known for its vibrant nightlife and cultural history. It is also very important for commerce and a popular destination for people looking to enjoy the beach and local culture.

Recife: is a major port in northeastern Brazil and is known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife. This port is also used for trade, the same as Fortaleza, which is close to Recife.

These are some of the many ports that Brazil has. Each one of them has services and tourist attractions, from loading and unloading merchandise to recreation and tourism; however, if you can tell, there are many more dedicated to commerce than leisure. That is to say, that although it is a very large country, there are not as many recreational boats as one would think there are; Although, those that exist are a paradise for lovers of yacht charter. For example, from Rio de Janeiro you will be able to enjoy the lights of the city, enjoy the landscape, the incredible sunsets that you can observe on board with a vibrant, carnival atmosphere.
