The new yacht bears a distinct family resemblance with its raised fo'c's'le and open foredeck for storing tenders, but is a much more sophisticated version of the Brazilian boat in every way. Moreover, as a full-custom Ice Class project it differs from the other two hulls in build that form part of the Amer Steel series designed by Antonio Luxardo of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340520/image/large-33f20b64177b629e1c30ee582ba4c111.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340520">“The owner went all over the place with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1257" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Far Far Away46.58m (152'10&quot;)INACE Yachts2012">Far Far Away</a> and knew exactly what he wanted,” says De Basto. “His new yacht, which will be called Even Further, is basically a distillation of everything he liked about the old one minus the things he didn’t like, such as the Jacuzzi on the fly bridge that he never used, and I added some of my own ideas along the way.”One such idea are the two cranes integrated into the forward bulwarks, a feature that appeared in De Basto’s 62-metre Nautilus concept for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts</a>. The two 7.5-metre tenders stored in the foredeck well are large for the size of yacht, hence the cranes have a lifting capacity of 2,500kg (one will also serve as a life-saving appliance for the rescue tender) and a reach of 7 metres. At the time of our visit to Pisa, the cranes were still being built by Mor Saverio, a specialist in the design and construction of hydraulic hardware in Brescia in northern Italy. Although it has been suppling the yachting industry with platforms, gangways and shell doors for 45 years, the brand is less well known than some other suppliers of hydraulic equipment.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340496/image/large-cd731117ef9c5462f415f14253a1de22.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340496">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l. (Company)">Permare</a> gave us a lot freedom to make certain decisions when it came to the technical design process,” says Luxardo. “For example, they did not necessarily have contacts with the best suppliers for a steel project, so we developed the interface with the right companies so we could integrate the technical components into the design from the start. If you can define the maker’s list in advance it avoids revisions down the line and improves the build quality.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a> engineered the whole yacht in 3D and optimised the the concept and hull lines by De Basto to match the common technical platform developed for the Amer Steel series.

Based on average operational profiles, the &nbsp;dual-power input is designed to offer increased flexibility, modularity and sustainability. The platform is also pre-prepared for a mix of power sources, from combustion engines running on renewable fuels to fully electric or hybrid solutions (see the article Going Pro on how <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> developed the system in <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Issue 6 of How to Build It</a>) .&nbsp;The four engines, each with their own SCR unit, occupy a slightly smaller footprint than a pair of bigger engines with drive shafts, but they still required a fresh look at the layout of the engine room to ensure – in Zignego’s words – “everything fit everything into a compact space on a compact yacht.” In addition, the IPS system was originally designed for semi-displacement and planing boats and you can’t just copy and paste it onto a steel displacement hull. Unlike traditional shaft drives, the pods have to be mounted parallel to the hull to ensure all the available power is used to drive the yacht forward efficiently, but the buttocks of a displacement hull slope up towards the stern. To create a horizontal surface for mounting the pods, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a> had to design a hydrodynamic ‘blister’ under the stern and shared its CFD data and tank test results at MARIN with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> so it could finalise the through-hull interface.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340523/image/large-7087805b4d4bad673fe3fc61fc560592.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340523"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340500/image/large-339c0872950eeeb08400db4c1efb586b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340500">CHILL OUTAmer yachts customarily have air-conditioned engine rooms and the Amer 41 Steel is equipped with a separate chiller system for the engine room. Ordinarily, supply and extraction fans take care of the combustion air intake and fresh outside air to dissipate heat from engines, boilers, generators and electrical equipment. This can involve very large amounts of air with huge fans and ducting systems. According to ISO 8861 the base for the ambient outside temperature is set at 35°C with a temperature rise from the passing air of 12.5K. But If you’re sailing in an area where the outside air temperature is higher or cruising in an icy area with sub-zero temperatures – as the Ice Class explorer is likely to do – a different approach is needed.“Instead of big fans we have a dedicated chiller and RCU [Recycled air handling] that controls the air circulation in the engine room, but also the pressure, temperature and humidity level, which brings multiple benefits,” says Luxardo. “Everything lasts longer and runs better because you’re removing the humidity and most equipment prefers cooler air; watermakers are very sensitive to heat, for example. At the same time, you’re getting rid of those big, noisy air ducts and you can see that smaller trunking means we have more usable space in the main saloon.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340522/image/large-b26af8d7cdbf9d5a24efba8f37619b6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340522">Amer Yachts has a loyal client base that tends to move up in size with the brand, but there comes a point when that means building in steel or aluminium and they have to look elsewhere. By establishing Amer Steel, the strategy is to keep those customers in the family fold.“It may be a client looking to upscale from fibreglass, or someone who has already owned metal yachts and has a specific idea for something a bit different,” concludes Amerio. “We’re a boutique shipyard in some ways because we build in small numbers, but that means we can also be very flexible if owners come to us well prepared with clear ideas about what they want.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340492/image/large-6114b87d6a5831013f96e872421c1d5f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340492">Sidebar: Sustainable construction<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l. (Company)">Permare</a> was founded by Fernando Amerio in 1973 in Sanremo to offer nautical services to a growing clientele from Liguria and the nearby French Riviera. In the early ‘90s, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l.

Today, its products have been exported well beyond the Mediterraean to &nbsp;the USA, the Middle East and the Far East. Sustainable solutions have long been central to the brand’s ethos and Barbara Amerio is both company CEO and and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) manager.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340499/image/large-05be04c617857d652e21af607b5c080e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340499">Steel is a recyclable material, but what about alternatives to fibreglass for your composite production?We’re looking into hybrid materials to replace traditional fibreglass and the Amer 120, our biggest model which will be presented this year, was designed to use less composite by replacing it with aluminium for the superstructure. This reduced the amount of fibreglass for the hull and the flybridge by four tonnes. Now we’re going a step further and introducing a third material: basalt fibre derived from melting basalt rock at extremely high temperatures and then processing it into fine filaments that are woven to create a cloth. Basalt cloth is a versatile material with a wide range of applications and provides excellent mechanical, thermal, chemical and electrical properties.This is all part of an ESG [Environmental, Social, and Governance]&nbsp;study with RINA to measure the integration of sustainable principles into our corporate strategies and activities. The assessment uses a rating methodology based on a set of key indicators according to international best practices. We’ve created an international working group with the bio-resin coming from France, the PET core from Sweden, and the basalt fibre from Germany to create a bio-composite that will be a completely recyclable. We’ve already ordered the first shipment of RINA-certified basalt fibre, and the idea is to build two decks, one in fibreglass and one using basalt fibre, then make comparison tests. All this is happening in Tuscany where our mould-maker will be the first to infuse the deck of a 106-footer made from this new hybrid material. We want to be the first to develop something that works, but once we have the results we don’t plan to keep it to ourselves and will make our findings available to other builders.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340494/image/large-28c832c88ee86983126f199e13514399.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340494">Tell us more about the new shipyard Amer is planning in Pisa Navicelli.It represents an investment of around €12 million in total and the local municipality has already accepted our development plans. We’re just waiting for final approval as the building is close to the airport; if all goes well we hope to be operational by the end of 2025. It will be the production base for Amer Steel where we will build yachts from 40 to 70-plus metres, but our sweet spot is somewhere in the middle where we can still use Volvo Penta IPS propulsion. It will be a cutting-edge facility, both in terms of architecture and environmental impact, with human capital at the centre of its design. The idea is that the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l.

29m Inace explorer yacht Miss Sarah J joins the market 

When it comes to yacht manufacturing, discussions have traditionally centred on the West, particularly in Northern and Southern Europe. Over recent years, the industry has begun to explore the potential of regions such as the Middle East and Asia, though despite this broader perspective, South America, and specifically Brazil, often remains underrepresented in this discourse.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a>, located in Osasco, São Paulo, Brazil, originally specialised in manufacturing offshore vessels. However, when Gilberto Ramalho acquired the shipyard in 1985, he transformed it significantly. Described as a 'visionary,' Gilberto aimed to not only own a shipyard but also create and develop a new yachting market in Brazil.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315286/image/large-7c93cf8484c95b2e9a15a07eeaf16006.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315286">Initially, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> offered its own range of yachts and the shipyard invited designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/283" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luiz de Basto Designs (Company)">Luiz De Basto</a> to create their first concept, the Oceanic 53 open cruiser. Subsequently, Ramalho initiated a significant transition by introducing <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> yachts to the Brazilian market. Over the next decade, noticing the demand for more expansive outdoor areas due to the tropical climate, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> tailored these yachts specifically for local preferences. Gilberto modified the designs to feature enlarged flybridges, extended sterns and bows, and upgraded air conditioning systems. In 2009, Gilberto Ramalho passed away, and his daughter, Roberta Ramalho, assumed the role of CEO at the young age of 18, becoming one of the youngest leaders in the yacht manufacturing industry at that time. <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> writer Enrico Chhibber engaged in an extensive discussion with CEO Roberta Ramalho and Rafael Paiao, the Vice President of Growth and Marketing. The conversation delved into the history and evolution of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a>, explored the nuances of the Brazilian yachting market in comparison to other global markets, and discussed <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a>'s strategic plans for the future.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315279/image/large-8fee710ea53639244f32b86e92b75190.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315279">Since 2010, Roberta has returned <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> back to its origins, refocusing on the development of the company's own line of yachts. Commenting on the evolution of yacht ownership in Brazil, Roberta highlighted the rapid growth of the domestic yachting market, noting significant increases in both the demand for larger yachts and the volume of units sold. She elaborated, “Today 80- foot yachts are more commonly found in Brazil”. However, despite Brazil's extensive coastline, which is ideally suited for sailing, the country's maritime infrastructure has not kept pace with the growing demand. Currently, there is a significant need for larger vessels, yet our marinas and facilities are struggling to accommodate these larger yachts”.As the conversation progressed, Roberta further detailed the differences between European and Brazilian preferences in yacht design. She noted that for Brazilians, the use of yachts is highly personal. “Each client has unique needs. This emphasis on individualisation is highly valued in our market. Brazilians particularly appreciate having tailor-made projects, especially with a focus on customising the exterior”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315296/image/large-3b10e9b313a41aa393396c5806450c4b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315296">Regarding features that are important for the domestic market, Roberta highlighted several key elements including a beach club, an ice maker machine on the exterior, and beer draughts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228639/image/large-fdc6cfab8c6059ac7895411d7000877b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228639"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315295/image/large-bd4c9c0edcdfed27064e10f88d05abb5.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315295"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315297/image/large-bf1dfa8deaf2ab3b389a1947edb35313.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315297">Rafael then showed me several images illustrating how the exterior and interior design details of their yachts are seamlessly integrated, aiming to provide clients with a strong connection to the outdoors. “The integration between the stern and the main deck creates a unified level, which gives the impression that the boat is one continuous space. This design makes the vessel feel much larger,” he recounted. Rafael then further emphasised that this design philosophy is particularly appealing to their Brazilian clientele, who have exclusively been <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a>’s market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228634/image/large-7693cff8464a1f28300ec016ed277e69.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228634"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315298/image/large-f874a4b982d65d11975d784f71ddd7cd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315298">Elucidating on the differences in yacht usage, Roberta affirmed that Brazilians typically use yachts for short trips. “They stay for about three or four days, but it’s not for long voyages. Brazilians prefer to cruise around the islands,” she noted.Regarding <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a>’s current production capacity and strategy, the shipyard is situated in a former 50,000 square metre railcar factory in Osasco. As pointed out by Roberta, the strategy focus is not on mass-producing vessels; although capable of building up to 200 boats, the shipyard prefers to construct fewer but larger yachts, with an emphasis on luxurious features and customisation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315285/image/large-483a2d8f654a6e5c81115bc0c3215385.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315285">Three years ago, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> expanded its portfolio by launching the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> 24m model. To date, they have built and delivered ten of these yachts, with three more currently under construction. Aside from these and many smaller models, the shipyard has also constructed the largest yacht to date — the 28.9-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> 95 model, with only one built and delivered.Regarding the design of the yachts, Rafael further elaborated: “If you examine our 24-metre model, it features a flybridge comparable in size to that of a 30-metre yacht. Similarly, the stern and the bow of our 24-metre model mirror what you’d typically find on a 30-metre yacht. In Brazil, these expansive features are essential, they maximise the enjoyment of everything the outdoors has to offer”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315300/image/large-1d0c95ccb103985d7e57b05eab33d74c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315300">On how <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> distinguishes itself from other Brazilian shipyards such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1180" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MCP Yachts (Company)">MCP</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/513" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="INACE Yachts (Company)">Inace</a>, Roberta clarified that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> caters to a distinct clientele. “Their yachts are typically larger, designed for slower and longer voyages, attracting a very different type of customer,” she explained. Rafa further added, “Many of our clients own homes on islands or along the beach. They primarily use their yachts for social gatherings or family time but often return to their homes to sleep. The culture here does not favour long voyages. For example, while filming our 70-foot model in Paraty, I observed that someone with a house there might take a short cruise about 45 minutes to an hour away, simply to visit friends”.When discussing <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a>’s future plans, Roberta unveiled <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a>'s latest project, a 30-metre yacht, which is set to be their largest project to date, surpassing the previous <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> 95 model. She noted, “We're constructing our biggest yacht ever, and it will be delivered in Monaco to a Brazilian client.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315322/image/large-2a527ca730c4d330a8ce33408acdbe7f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315322"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine (Company)">Intermarine</a> has plans to expand further into the international market. When asked if they would modify the design of their vessels to appeal to different target markets, both Roberta and Rafael stated that they intend to retain some of the exterior features popular in Brazil while adapting certain aspects to cater more to the international clientele.This article is featured in&nbsp;Issue 49&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<a href="http://superyachttimes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a>&nbsp;newspaper.&nbsp;You can find a full archive of all previous SuperYacht Times newspapers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;
