Company History


INACE Yachts is one of the largest offshore boat builders in Brazil with clients in defense, commercial and leisure industries.

And it all started with a homemade wooden lobster boat. All Gil Bezerra wanted was a small boat so he could fish for his dinner. He built one; then he built some more and sold them. Then he quit his day job at the bank and founded the company in Fortaleza, Brazil, in 1968. (INACE stands for Indústria Naval do Ceará.) From 1968 to 1986, the yacht builder built hydro-oceanographic vessels, ferries, crew boats, tugboats, pusher tugs, fast supply vessels (FSV), warships and research ships for the Brazilian Navy as well as other clients.

From Patrol Ships to Luxury Yachts

In 1987, Bezerra built several aluminum yachts and took them to a boat show in the U.S., where he got his first commission for a recreational yacht. That bold move launched the yacht builder into the international luxury yacht marketplace.

Buyers figured the boatyard that built the first ship for the Brazilian Navy could construct seaworthy yachts. Not only were the INACE motor yachts for sale well built, they were more affordable than European models. Today, INACE yachts range from 65 to 165 feet.

Forward-Thinking

Always a pioneer, Bezerra found better ways to construct INACE motor yachts. In the ’70s, he was the first in the region to use electrically welded steel on his vessels. He also developed an assembly line (radial system) where multiple boats could be built concurrently.

Another technique that speeded up construction was “hull turning.” INACE craftsmen built a capsized hull in a single block, then “uncapsized” it in the water. In 1984, Bezerra created a giant elevator (syncrolift) that made it easier and faster to move finished INACE motor yachts to the water. By 1987, INACE was the leader in aluminum shipbuilding for the private sector. All these innovations led to the creation of INACE Motor Yachts.
