Triton Yachts

What Triton Yachts does

Triton Yachts is the consumer-facing brand of Way Brasil Shipyard (Estaleiro Way Brasil), a privately held Brazilian boat manufacturer founded in 1984 by engineer José Maria Cechelero Jr. and operated from a 31,500 sqm facility with 7,200 sqm of built area in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná. The company designs and builds fiberglass recreational powerboats ranging from 25 to 52 feet across more than 15 active models in the Classic, Sport, Hardtop, Fly, and Flyer lines, with proprietary hull designs engineered in-house and lamination techniques using biaxial and nidecore tissue. The product line includes flagship flybridge models (52 FLY, 52 HT), mid-range hardtops (470 HT, 410 HT, 370 HT, 350 HT), open and classic models (370, 350, 300 Classic), and the lifestyle-oriented Flyer sport yacht series (44, 38, 34, 32), complemented by a lower-priced Way-brand kayak sub-line (Caiaques Way) sold at R$500-R$950.

The business model is direct-to-consumer manufacturing of high-ASP leisure vessels sold through three channels: a regional dealer network across Brazil, direct factory engagement at the São José dos Pinhais shipyard for custom orders, and major boat show participation (São Paulo Boat Show, Rio Boat Show, Marina Itajaí, Riviera Boat Week, Virtual Bombarco Show). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed for boats, reflecting the custom specification of hull, engine (gasoline or diesel), and finish options. The company holds European CE certification since 2005 and exports to eight countries across Europe (Norway, Netherlands, Spain, Italy), the Americas (Argentina, USA, Mexico), and Africa (Angola). Recent commercial activity includes pre-orders from the USA and Mexico for the 2024-launched Flyer 44 HT. Triton is family-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors, and Allan Cechelero serves as director alongside the founder-engineer in design leadership.
