Brokerage firm IYC has announced a new global partnership with INACE Superyachts, furthering the Brazilian yard's expansionary and promotional efforts.
The deal appoints IYC as global representative for INACE Shipyard, supporting the latter's international sales strategy through its brokerage network, dedicated marketing initiatives and coordinated brand promotion.
The partnership will be led by two of IYC's experienced sales consultants. Pierre Vezilier will oversee the European market from Monaco, while Adam Levine, based in Fort Lauderdale, will spearhead efforts in the US.
According to Vezilier, there is increasing demand for long-range, explorer-style yachts across the European market, with INACE ultimately fitting the bill. "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," he explained. "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, customisation and overall investment value.”
Similarly, in the US, Levine expressed confidence that owners would respond positively to the Brazilian brand's entry. "INACE brings an exciting opportunity to the market, delivering capable, long-range yachts with extensive customisation," he said. "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.”
For Raphael Sauleau, CEO of IYC, the partnership marks a new chapter for Brazilian superyacht construction. "INACE Yachts carries a heritage that few yards can match, rooted in Brazil's proud shipbuilding tradition," he said. "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.”
Looking ahead, INACE Superyachts said it is working towards the delivery of four projects ranging from 32 to 47 metres, along with a new generation of explorers currently in development.
