Boat International Media, the world’s leading media group serving the superyacht industry, and CMLA Representacoes Ltda, the Sao Paulo based publisher of Boat Shopping Brazil and organiser of Boat Xperience São Paulo, are delighted to announce a strategic partnership, working together to publish Boat International Brazil.

Both are committed to combine their considerable resource and local expertise to produce Brazil’s first and definitive Portuguese language superyacht magazine.

Tony Harris, CEO of Boat International Media, stated:

‘We have been looking to find a high quality partner in Brazil for some time and I am delighted to be working with Caio Ambrosio and his team. Caio has a proven track record in producing quality yachting magazines, has unrivalled contacts within the Brazilian yachting industry and a direct relationship with Brazil’s yacht owner community.'

Caio Ambrosio, CEO of CMLA Representacoes Ltda said:

‘This is an exciting opportunity for us to represent Boat International Media, the world’s best publisher in the luxury yachting arena. The Brazilian economy is booming and with more billionaires and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals than ever before, this is the perfect time for us to launch the region's first dedicated superyacht magazine. Brazilian owners are buying bigger and bigger boats and becoming increasingly active in the international market. We are proud to make this project become reality.’

With a GDP of $2.44trillion, Brazil’s economic growth is at a 25 year high with the Brazilian economy now overtaking Canada, Mexico and Chile to become the second most powerful economy in the America’s behind the United States. On a global scale the Brazilian economy is now the 7th largest economy in the world and forecast to overtake the UK by the end of this year. To date, 2011 has seen the creation of 12 new billionaires in Brazil.

With more than 155,400 millionaires, a country that stands 9th in the Forbes list with 30 billionaires, 8,500km of beautiful coastline and an active community of existing boat owners, Brazil has become one of the most exciting markets in the world.

Boat International Brazil will be unveiled at the 2012 Miami Boat Show.
