PRJ Boats Shipyard In The United States Becomes A Reference In Catamaran Construction, Creating Tenders And Adapted Boats With Accessibility

Marine lover Pedro Camargo — who has been living in the USA since 2019 — sailor since the age of 6, when he took first place in a sailing competition, dedicated his entire life to crossing oceans in command of large boats (summing around 150 thousand nautical miles sailed), decided it was time to venture out and create a shipyard for building catamaran vessels in the United States.

Three years ago, Pedro Camargo decided to bring his dream to life. For this, the Brazilian enlisted the help of friend Robson Gomes to create PRJ Boats. The shipyard is located in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida.

Currently, two high-performance catamaran boats: the Cat 40 and Cat 60, designed by designer Daniel Bolsoni Castilla, are under construction and taking shape at the shipyard.

The Brazilian shipyard focuses on two segments: tenders and boats adapted for accessibility. Tenders, for those who do not know, are support boats designed to be docked inside the mothership — they are used to transport passengers for tours and other activities.

With his experience as a captain, the Brazilian knows very well the resources that the catamaran must have for a perfect transition between the mothership and the dock or a beautiful beach — or even for fishing or diving, other ways to use a support boat, which is currently a strong trend in European and American countries.

There is a growing demand for this type of vessel, which — to meet the discerning public of cruises — has evolved from just being an orange-painted rescue boat, as required by SOLAS, into a multi-purpose and increasingly sophisticated boat. “For the crew of superyachts, having a good tender is essential,” said Pedro Camargo.

According to the businessman, the greater the utility, the higher the preference. “When it’s a younger crowd that needs to get to the shore, it’s not necessary to get too close to the beach: they jump in the water and go ahead. With older people, it is necessary to anchor, raise the engines, and pull the boat by the stern to the disembarkation or embarkation point,” concludes Camargo.
