Neymar Buys Brazilian‑Built Superyacht Enejota

Overview

• Media reports confirm Neymar Jr. purchased the superyacht named Enejota with published valuations varying between about R$120 million and R$150 million.
• The hull began life as a heavy service vessel built by Estaleiro Arpoador and underwent an extensive retrofit and conversion carried out in Brazil by INACE’s superyacht division.
• The explorer‑class design by Fernando Almeida includes roughly 800 square meters of area, six suites, a helipad, hydrodynamic jet propulsion and four Caterpillar engines with a top speed reported near 20 knots.
• The yacht has been moving along the Brazilian coast after leaving Fortaleza and making a stop in Recife, and most outlets say it is expected to be based or anchored in Angra dos Reis with Santa Catarina also mentioned as a possible route.
• The project highlights a growing market for converting commercial or service vessels into high‑end yachts and underscores INACE’s push into luxury builds, a development that could boost domestic shipyard work and custom retrofit demand.
