History of Inace Yachts

Brazilian shipyard Indòstria Naval do Ceará, or Inace for short, was founded in 1968 by economist and angler Dr. Gil Bezerra. The family-owned and run shipyard specialised in building military ships and commercial fishing vessels until 1987, when it formed its luxury yacht division. A pioneer in aluminium construction, luxury yacht builder Inace initially marketed its innovative aluminium explorer yachts in the U.S., then expanded into the world market. In 1993, the Inace Group diversified its business by entering the luxury hotel and marina market.

Notable Inace Superyachts

Formula 1 race car driver Emerson Fittipaldi helped to design his own Inace luxury motor yacht, the 26.21M Joana II, taking delivery in 1996. Luxury yacht builder Inace has collaborated on the design of many of its motor yachts with Miami yacht designer Luiz de Basto. In 2012, the shipyard launched the 36.57M explorer superyacht Far Far Away, with styling by de Basto.
