Pierre Vezilier, comments, “Across the European market, we are seeing a strong and growing demand for long-range, explorer style yachts that combine capability, efficiency and true onboard comfort. INACE is particularly well positioned in this segment, with a solid heritage in commercial and military shipbuilding, a strong in-house engineering team, and the capacity to deliver multiple projects simultaneously. This partnership allows us to introduce a highly credible and competitively positioned platform to the international market, offering clients an excellent balance between engineering integrity, customization and overall investment value.”
Adam Levine, adds, “INACE brings an exciting opportunity to the market, delivering capable, long-range yachts with extensive customization. This segment continues to see growing demand across North America and around the globe, as owners seek more capable and versatile platforms. Backed by decades of commercial, military, and explorer yacht experience, INACE offers a distinctive platform that stands out in today’s market.”
As part of the collaboration, IYC will support the continued international growth of INACE Superyachts. Having demonstrated strong results through strategic global representation and market development, IYC looks forward to building a similarly dynamic partnership with INACE Superyachts, further expanding the shipyard’s international presence and driving new opportunities for its fleet across key markets.
INACE Superyachts is currently advancing a strong production pipeline of four projects ranging from 104’ to 154’ (32m to 47m), with deliveries scheduled between late 2026 and 2027. The shipyard's portfolio is structured around three distinct yacht lines: AVENTURA, focused on long-range exploration and adventure; EXPLORA, combining expedition capability with contemporary luxury; and DESIGNER, offering fully bespoke projects tailored to an owner's individual vision and lifestyle. This steady growth reflects the shipyard's increasing international demand and its ability to execute multiple custom builds simultaneously.

IYC CEO Raphael Sauleau comments, “The superyacht world moves fast, but the most compelling stories are often found away from the spotlight. INACE Yachts carries a heritage that few yards can match rooted in Brazil's proud shipbuilding tradition. They have been crafting distinguished vessels for decades with a level of care and quality that deserves a much wider audience. This partnership is about giving them exactly that and we're proud to be the ones to bring the INACE story to a global platform it deserves.”
“Together with IYC, we are reintroducing INACE Superyachts to the international market with a renewed vision, a new generation of explorer yachts, and a clear commitment to engineering excellence, customization, and long-range capability,” says the INACE Commercial Team. “Our goal is to build upon the success achieved in previous decades, when the shipyard delivered more than 45 explorer yachts to owners around the world.”
This partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter for Brazilian superyacht construction, combining heritage, industrial strength, and modern explorer yacht innovation for owners seeking true oceangoing experiences without compromise.
