About Eraco

In 1997 Deon Erasmus and a small dedicated team returned to Cape Town and started Eraco Boat Builders. Their first commission was to design and build a very unusual 22m, all marine grade aluminium sailing research vessel for a British client. ZuZa was designed and built to comply with MCA (Marine Coastguard Agency) specification and is capable of taking scientists/researchers on extended voyages of discovery to the most remote sailing areas of the world, safely and comfortably.

Since then Eraco has developed and grown to become a leading designer and builder of commercial aluminium boats for prestigious client’s world wide. (see list of clients) With an in-house team of young, bright and highly qualified designers directing an equally well trained and passionate workforce,

Eraco has the capability of delivering exceptional, well built boats to their clients.
