Help Me, Zonda: The New Brazilian Bombshell


Brazil’s Embraer builds some of the of the world’s finest private jets, so why shouldn’t the country get in on the high-end yachting market as well? Enter Zonda, the Brazilian answer to the likes of Riva and Frauscher. Focusing on clean, ultra-modern designs, Zonda applies elements such as power to weight ratio, aerodynamics and analysis techniques commonly used in the automobile industry to maximize its handsome crafts’ performance and fuel consumption. The Zonda 42 is its most impressive offering, with the ability to go from 0 to 20 knots in less than 9 seconds.

Brazilian businessman Eduardo Souza Ramos was inspired by Wally to create the company and commissioned the internationally renowned naval architect Acebal Javier Soto to realize his vision. The Zonda 42 is an evolution of a tender that Soto designed for King Juan Carlos of Spain. With sleek lines, a polished aluminum hull and teak decking we’d say the comely craft stands a good chance of bringing in some decent business. Throw in a couple bombshells in bikins and it’s a winning combination for sure.
