Construction begins on Inace FHI 90 motor yacht

Brazilian shipyard Inace has announced its intention to reclaim its position as one of South America’s finest superyacht builders following nearly three years of absence in the market. Inace’s last delivered yacht, the 38.4-metre Batai, dates back to 2014.Speaking to SuperYacht Times, Inace in-house naval architect and engineer Flavio Barros explains what the company has been up to the last few years: “We have received a huge demand from the tugboat market which resulted in our absence from the yachting scene for these last three years. In this time, we have delivered 10 workboats including tugboats and ferries.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/16877/image/large-893cd43e3543b1353b1062caaf8f4bba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/16877">Barros feels that these projects, as well as recent dealings with international shipping companies, has strengthened the shipyard in terms of capabilities. “We have had a great experience dealing with multinationals companies which helped us increase our quality, planning and financial management of the shipyard."&nbsp;The first step towards Inace’s return to the market is in the form of a 35-metre expedition-style motor yacht named INACE-FH 115. The project is currently being developed by the shipyard together with designer Fernando de Almeida.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/16878/image/large-a23b92f4c6836d6e2f9ec1dfe59eee26.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/16878">Inace will be celebrating its 50th existence year in 2018.

Completed last year as one of the largest yachts ever to come out of South America, the 39.3-metre Bejoa II was built be Brazilian yacht builder Riostar. Designed by Fernando De Almeida, the full GRP Riostar 130 yacht cruises predominantly in Brazilian waters where she is also available for charter. The semi-displacement Bejoa II reaches a top speed of 25 knots and accommodates up to 10 guests in her five opulent staterooms. Here she is seen anchored off Ilha Grande near Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

Bejoa II in Ilha Grande

The life story of the 64 metre MV Santa Rita I is not a happy tale. After spending over 40 years at sea, her life comes to a dismal end in a lonely metal scrap yard in Florida. Her service as a naval vessel in the Atlantic is where this story begins.Life for Santa Rita I started as an Irish naval patrol vessel named Le Deidre P-20, stationed off the Atlantic coast of Ireland, after launched at the Verolme shipyard in Cork in 1972. During her service lasting nearly 30 years, Le Deidre performed missions against the smuggling of weapons to the terrorist group IRA at the time and often took part in extensive search and rescue missions in the rough waters that characterises this stretch of ocean. She is well known for her central role in rescuing survivors during the 1979 Fastnet Race disaster.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/158092/image/large-dfced287e50fca305e66b78e8e1a3cab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/158092">The day eventually came that Le Deidre had to make way for a newer generation Róisín Class patrol fleet, and after nearly 30 years’ service, she was decommissioned in 2001. She came under the hammer soon after in an industry auction where she was acquired by a British multi-millionaire. Matthew was known for his controversial way of avoiding the tax man by living on board yachts and other pleasure craft where ever in the world he would find himself, and Tosca IV (as renamed by Matthew) would be his new home away from home.The vessel made her way to Poland where the conversion from offshore vessel to luxury yacht would begin at the ship repair yard of Pomerania. Matthews, however, sadly passed away in 2004 when he was a passenger in a helicopter accident in the States, and with that the fate of the vessel was once again was up in the air.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/158093/image/large-fda9ba2e0c4c3173f1032e6a90bd704f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/158093">In 2005, images revealing the incomplete Tosca IV being towed to Brazil for completion confirmed rumours surrounding an interested buyer from the country visiting the shipyard in Poland earlier in the year to purchase the vessel. In Rio de Janiero, work started following a complete redesign of the vessel by the hand of designer Fernando de Almeida. The yacht, now named Santa Rita I, remained here for some years while she had work done on her interior guest areas, complete exterior restyling and a large helicopter landing pad fitted. The design of a low profile superstructure was introduced with the hope to cancel the vessel’s notorious rolling, experienced even in moderate sea states.In 2013 however, after the yacht was finished to a near completed stage, the project took a turn for the worst, and was abandoned for reasons unknown. With her fresh new green and white paint finish, she was then towed to the BAE shipyard in Jacksonville, Florida, where scrapping operations would commence.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/158094/image/large-1c44e11adb8674322c867fe9cdd28907.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/158094">Her final voyage was a tow up the St. Johns river in North Florida to reach Green Cove Springs in August 2014, where American Salvage &amp; Trading started the dissection of what was left of the former Le Deidre. Once a mighty and formidable force that weathered storms in the North Atlantic, piece by piece she was dismantled and sold for her worth in metal.By Charl van Rooy

Brazilian shipyard RioStar is currently underway with the construction of four yachts, with the largest being a new 45.3 metre tri-deck superyacht. The Rio-based yard reports that once the yacht is completed, she will one of the largest to have been built in Latin America.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155585/image/large-6d06681433f65fc6417bd3584024264d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155585">Designed by Fernando de Almeida, the RioStar 160 ahs been developed to offer the largest possible interior space that the 45 metre platform can provide, while still not excedding the crucial 500gt mark. Her vertical bow and diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system is expected to reduce fuel consumption by up to 30%.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155586/image/large-93ad61c5bf54a029875d8e6495ff8954.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155586">More details on the yacht will follow as her construction progresses. By Charl van Rooy

Intermarine is preparing the launch of their new range of luxury yachts in 2011. The new yachts were presented through large scale models, catalogues, and presentations by their designers at the São Paulo Boat Show, the most important nautical event in Brazil. The new exclusive range of the Brazilian brand is the result of partnerships with renowned international design studios. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133309/image/large-ffde6e6636e18a37a902aaee552a90a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133309">About Intermarine Intermarine is one of the most prestigious shipyards in Brazil; they are the national leader in the production of luxury yachts from 38 to 76 feet. In an area of 50.000 square meters, in São Paulo metropolitan region, the yachts are built with passion and craftsmanship. The shipyard has built thousands of units since 1973, when it was established. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133310/image/large-a136cadf37930b00791671aecad4e5a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133310">During the last 12 years, Intermarine had a deal with Azimut Yachts building their models in Brazil, under license and with exclusivity. Due to the needs of the local market, where the climate is pleasant throughout the year, the yachts built by Intermarine were different from the European models; with longer swim platforms and stern areas, more powerful engines and generators, different interior layout and decoration. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133311/image/large-0baf46b60e2b4d4fd62adb1f3fb47a1b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133311">Simultaneously, during this partnership time, Intermarine continued building its own range of high performance offshore boats. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133312/image/large-23609e43629b3a761642d735824b031c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133312">In 2009 Intermarine and Azimut Yachts discussed the possible acquisition of Intermarine, after the death of the owner, however both companies couldn’t reach an agreement.

Intermarine launches new yachts with international design studios

Fernando de Almeida Yacht Design has revealed plans for a new 92ft motor yacht to SuperYachtTimes.com. The 92ft superyacht has a semi-displacement hull for moderate speeds, economical operation and long range. With twin 1,000hp engines she can reach a top speed of 19 knots and has a range of 950nm at 15 knots, or up to 2000nm at 8 knots. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129872/image/large-dc4b46b94ddd81bf207e1493ae536c3e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129872">The design priority was to maximize the external areas, as the boat is intended to cruise warm tropical waters. The stern platform, aft deck and flybridge are very uncluttered and spacious. The tenders are stored on the flybridge deck, measuring 14m in length and 5m width. The flybridge also features a jacuzzi, sun bathing and sitting areas, bar and steering station. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129873/image/large-36159e38133cebbfca6d6babb9ae2f35.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129873">Inside is the dining area and saloon, which are surrounded by a glass superstructure that will provide spectacular views. The bridge deck has a comfortable elevated settee, a day head and a direct access to the flybridge. The full beam master suite has a separate entrance. The suite will have a king size bed, sofa, desk and ample storage space. There are three additional guest cabins, two of them with double beds and one with single beds. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129874/image/large-a410675e1bc19168d078c2eafe3f21f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129874">Aft of the engine room are the crew quarters with two double bunk cabins, head with separate shower, crew mess, laundry and storage room.
