Falcon Estaleiros do Brasil
Falcon Estaleiros do Brasil is the company of record for the Intermarine yacht brand, a Brazilian builder of exclusive motor yachts whose origins trace back to 1973, when the Fontoura family and a group of boating enthusiasts developed a performance boat for leisure use. Gilberto Ramalho acquired Intermarine in 1983 and, drawing on European cabin-yacht design, adapted it to a tropical lifestyle with larger outdoor social areas. The company states it now has more than 400–500 employees and describes itself as the only shipyard in Brazil producing fully personalised boats, with Roberta Ramalho as CEO. Its offshore racing heritage includes a record run between Santos and Rio de Janeiro.
