Brazilian shipyard Inace Superyachts (ISY) has announced the delivery of the 46.7-metre conversion project Enejota.
Enejota began life in 2013, constructed by Arpoador Shipyard as a commercial support vessel. Data from BOATPro shows that the vessel was sold in 2022 to a new owner – rumoured to be Brazilian footballer Neymar – with ISY appointed to transform the 46.7-metre into a custom explorer yacht.
According to the yard, Enejota marked "one of the most ambitious yacht conversion projects ever completed in South America", with ISY's in-house teams completing the yacht’s engineering, conversion, outfitting and final delivery. Brazilian naval architect Fernando De Almeida was chosen as the designer for the project, developing the yacht alongside ISY for extended cruising, operational autonomy and high levels of onboard comfort. Michelle Storry was responsible for the interior design.
Enejota offers approximately 800 square metres of interior and exterior living space on board, including accommodation across six suites. Amenities include a certified helideck, expansive entertainment areas and professional-grade operational systems for long-range cruising capabilities.
“The delivery of this yacht represents a significant milestone not only for ISY but also for the Brazilian superyacht industry,” said a spokesperson for the shipyard. “Projects of this complexity require extensive naval engineering, structural redesign, systems integration and bespoke outfitting. We are proud to demonstrate that world-class explorer yachts can be designed, engineered and delivered from Brazil to the highest international standards.”
The yacht is equipped with four 1,450hp Caterpillar engines, coupled with a waterjet propulsion system, to deliver excellent manoeuvrability, shallow-water capability and an estimated top speed of 20 knots.
BOATPro amounts ISY to have one superyacht currently under construction: the latest unit from its 32.3-metre Aventura 106 series, the first of which, Sea Boss, was delivered last year.
