What Royal Mariner does

Royal Mariner (legal name: Estaleiro Royal Mariner) is a privately held Brazilian shipyard founded in 2008 that designs and manufactures fiberglass recreational boats for sport and leisure use. The company operates from a production shipyard in Recife, Brazil, with a 10-model portfolio spanning 21 to 50 feet in length, organized into sub-brand lines including S-Line (entry-level open-bow, RM215 and RM240), Gran Cabrio and Gran Coupe (mid-size cabin/coupe, RM280 and RM350), RM390HT hard-top, RM410 Vanguard (next-generation), RM480 Flybridge, and the RM500 Vortex flagship launched in 2022. Vessels share a common fiberglass hull engineering platform developed with advanced naval engineering, with configurable motorization (outboard or sterndrive), power levels, and interior layouts; larger models integrate premium third-party systems including Volvo Penta D6 diesel sterndrives and Onan/Caterpillar generators.

The company serves two primary customer segments: individual recreational boaters in Brazil (family recreation, fishing, sport cruising, and social outings on the water) and, to a lesser extent, commercial charter operators. Royal Mariner runs a direct-to-consumer sales model with no dealer or distributor intermediaries; customers request quotes through the Orbe.me platform on royalmariner.com.br or contact the sales team directly, and prospective buyers are invited to schedule test drives. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and each boat is sold as a one-time customized purchase, with revenue derived exclusively from boat sales. The firm claims over 1,000 vessels manufactured since founding and 16 years of operating experience, is nationally recognized in Brazil for hull quality and navigability, and markets through its website plus Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube channels.
