2 – Flexboat history
Late 1988 Jaime Jose Alves Silva, an entrepreneur from Rio de Janeiro, decided to settle in Sao Paulo after
travelling to Italy and France se
arching for technology and for the most advanced materials in order to start
building the best inflatable boats in Brazil.
FLEXBOAT CONSTRUCOES NAUTICAS LTDA was born in 1990 in its facility located in the city of Atibaia, 40
miles from the city of Sao Pa
Atibaia was chosen due to its prime location as a transportation hub and also because it is close to the main
marine markets in Brazil's south / southeast regions.
Since then 2
8 years have demanded lots of work and dedication. During this period FLEXBOAT has created a
brand name which is a reference of quality. It has turned into a synonym of inflatable boats.
Since its inception FLEXBOAT has been using Hypalon (special fabric
from France) to build its tubes. This material and its incomparable features guarantees the boats will have the
highest safety standard. It makes sure the boats will last longer. When used in conjunction with other hi
raw materials and components and when handled by a team of highly trained and qualified workers the final
result is FLEXBOAT, the best inflatable boat made in Brazil.
After starting building small inflatables up to 12 feet long Flexboat kept on
release of the SR 1000, the largest (33 ft) and most advanced inflatable build in Brazil. Until now more than
15,000 boats were built and sold in Brazil, USA, Caribbean and Europe.
In 2005 FLEXBOAT started the develo
pment of boats focused on military use and since then we have become
the main vendor for Brazil armed forces. Federal Police, Navy, Firemen, First Responders, IBAMA and Ambient
Police are among FLEXBOAT customers.
FLEXBOAT is looking to the future and wor
offering larger boats with a cabin, and other innovations, both for the Brazilian and International markets. In the
military and professional sectors, FLEXBOAT is developing a new line of p
This is FLEXBOAT!
