Business Buzz: Bravada Yachts Transforms the Houseboat Industry
The car crossover is evident in Bravada’s demographics. “There’s an analogous appeal,” Weiss says. “These clients have very refined tastes in all these other arenas – in their homes, in their cars, in their private airplanes.” To wit: Bravada had an installation at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction a couple of years ago and ended up selling a few boats.
Currently, the company’s primary markets are in Arizona and Utah, but it’s in talks to build a facility extension on the East Coast. “Now that we have a clear vision for where the product line will go, what our offerings will be and how we will execute those, the next move is to… expand who we’re offering them to,” Weiss says. He’d also like to add a little more color to his design palette. “You have these incredible natural wonders like Lake Powell and… colors of the sunsets and the rocks and the water, and then you just have so many white boats,” he says. “The point is the lake, not the boat, but I think there could be more harmony there.”

Bravada Launches Head-Turning Houseboat on Lake Powell
If you don’t want to cruise outside the United States because of the pandemic, you might want to think about Lake Powell, on the border of Arizona and Utah, where you could enjoy all the amenities of home, plus some, offered by the new 75-foot Bravada Yachts luxury houseboat.
Whether you’re on the Bravada or some other boat, at Lake Powell you won’t feel lonely. About two million people a year (in non-pandemic years) visit the lake. Basically a man-made reservoir on the Colorado River, and part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the lake is about 200 miles long and has 1,960 miles of shoreline, with some 80 side canyons. It’s home to rental houseboats, marinas, campgrounds and some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
The new Bravada, named Invictus , was launched there in December, and it’s been turning heads ever since. It’s part of Bravada’s Atlas V-Series, and it has two-plus decks, 3,200 square feet of space, five cabins plus two cuddy cabins, two heads, two galleys, seven flat-screen TVs, a Bose sound system, Quartz countertops, a fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, water filtration system, central AC and heating and four PWC ramps with electric winches.
On the upper deck you can keep warm during the evenings sitting around the fire pit, or take a plunge into Lake Powell (it’s 3,700 feet deep) from the 15-foot waterslide. Or you could just relax on the sun deck with daybeds.
The single helm station has back-up cameras, so the captain can check his surroundings. If you’re worried about handling a 75-foot boat with a 22-foot beam, Bravada will send someone to teach you how to drive and anchor. The Bravada plant is not far away in Tolleson, just outside Phoenix. The boat is powered by twin Volvo sterndrives.
Aaron Browning, the Bravada CEO, says it took two years to plan and build Invictus . It certainly doesn’t look like most other lake boats. “We’re excited to see just how far we can push the envelope in the houseboat industry,” he says.
A Bravada Atlas V-Series boat costs about $2 million. If you don’t want to buy the entire boat, you also can purchase fractional shares. Read more:

New Partnership with Bravada Yachts Marks Milestones for Volvo Penta
Invictus marks several important “firsts” for Volvo Penta. The impressive luxury houseboat is the first Bravada houseboat to be powered by Volvo Penta and largest boat in the region to be powered by a Volvo Penta Aquamatic sterndrive .
“Team Bravada wanted a propulsion system that would continue the Bravada legacy of changing the houseboat industry and we found it in Volvo Penta. We were impressed by the throttle response, rapid acceleration and maneuverability with integrated electric steering,” said Robert Gutierrez, Principal at Bravada Yachts. “In addition, we found the Volvo Penta propulsion package very easy to install and service.”
The DPI sterndrive enables silent and smooth shifting and boasts high engine torque for easier maneuvering. The Volvo Penta system also offers longer service intervals, fewer service items and propeller seals designed for longer life, as well as industry-leading fuel efficiency and low CO 2 emissions. The fully integrated EVC network provides improved diagnostics and monitoring of system health.
Martin Bjuve, president of Volvo Penta of the Americas, commented, “The team at Bravada does not shy away from venturing toward uncharted territory, and this is a mindset we fully embrace at Volvo Penta. We see strong synergies between our organizations and are confident our solutions will serve as a cornerstone in Bravada’s efforts to define the future of the houseboat industry.”
The installation and system integration of the propulsion package was overseen by Helmut’s Marine Service , Volvo Penta’s Power Center servicing Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Guam.
“This collaboration with Bravada demonstrates just how versatile the propulsion package from Volvo Penta really is,” said Nadine Urciuoli, vice president of Helmut’s Marine Service. “The power, performance and fuel efficiency of the system makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.”
“Invictus , with massive aquarium-style floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors, features a host of luxury amenities for lake cruising and entertaining in style,” said Aaron Browning, Principal at Bravada Yachts. “The boat has five staterooms, two baths and two cuddy cabins. There are a fire pit and waterslide on the top deck, stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops in the kitchen, 10 flat-screen satellite TVs, surround sound and other custom features for the most discriminating owners.”

Pushing the boundaries of luxury, technology generates smooth sailing for Tolleson’s Bravada Yachts
Every day, a Tolleson warehouse buzzes with activity that ultimately results in million-dollar vessels, tricked out with movie theaters and luxury kitchens, that get shipped across the state and sometimes across state lines.
From Bravada Yachts’ 65,000-square-foot facility, a team of welders, engineers and fabricators churn out luxury yachts customized to clients’ wishes, ranging from 16-person hot tubs to fireplaces, spanning as much as 8,800 square feet — about the size of four tennis courts.
And it’s this energy that makes Bravada co-owner and COO Robert Gutierrez beam with pride in his small business that yields mammoth creations.
“Our staff is amazing and hard-working people. They are what make Bravada. They are inspired here,” said Gutierrez who, who along with CEO Aaron Browning and president Andrew Marshall, purchased Bravada in 2017.
Luxury-yacht market on the rise
Bravada’s previous owners decided to sell their boat division in order to focus on their luxury-homebuilding arm, Gutierrez said. Upon discovering this, Browning, a friend of Gutierrez who had owned a Bravada yacht, approached him with the idea of ownership. Browning brought his friend Marshall on board and the trio negotiated an asset purchase of the company that started in 2009.
This transaction put them in a global luxury-yacht market that’s projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 7 percent between 2016 to 2020, according to Research and Markets.
The flagship yacht GT Series measures 22 feet by 75 feet long and starts at $1,099,000. It can be extended to 115 feet long and command a price tag upward of $3 million, Gutierrez said. It’s a triple-deck boat that encompasses 4,400 square feet and offers seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens, a built-in barbecue grill and nine flatscreen TVs. It can sleep anywhere from 16 to 30 of your closest pals, too.
The entry-level V Series boat starts at $499,000 and measures 18 feet by 70 feet long. Gutierrez attributed its popularity to its relatively reasonable price point while being spacious and hitting all the same buttons that owners of the GT Series crave to push.
“I’m envious of some of those kitchens in those boats compared to my home,” Gutierrez said.
'Inspired at how personable they were'
Sara Merrill was looking for an upgrade to her family’s 10-year-old boat and also sought one with creative flair. She discovered Bravada though a family member last summer and purchased a GT with amenities like a fire pit and hot tub on the third level.
But what really stands out about her experiences with Bravada goes beyond the water. Right around the time they were about to purchase the boat, Merrill’s daughter fell ill and needed an organ transplant. When Browning and Marshall found out, they invited Merrill’s family and 12 of her daughter's friends to their own personal luxury yacht “to give her one fun night before things got crazy,” as Merrill put it.
“I was inspired at how personable they were. They’ve been great through everything,” said Merrill, whose daughter has recovered.
Merrill lives in Santa Clara, Utah, and her yacht is anchored at Lake Powell. She appreciates not only the treatment she’s received from Bravada, but also the experiences that having a boat offer.
“If you have the means to have a second home, I think this is the very best possible investment you can make in your family or friends. You can spend a week without internet in the same space with the people you love,” she said.
Growing the company
When Gutierrez, Browning and Marshall moved into ownership roles, the original facility was located in west Phoenix. The last thing they wanted to do was move it, but they broke that rule.
“We realized the best thing we can do is create new energy, new flow for the company,” Gutierrez recalled.
They preferred to keep it west of Phoenix for the easy access to Lake Powell, where most of their yachts are ultimately docked. They opted to call Tolleson and a brand-new facility Bravada’s home.
“The motivation and morale of our team shot up. It was a much better work environment for the caliber of boats we’re building,” Gutierrez said. “It was the best decision we made.”
Since the transition, the employee base has quadrupled, Gutierrez said. Previously, the company’s most prosperous year had produced 12 boats, and so far the company is on track to double that in sales this year with slots already filling for next year, Gutierrez said.
They’ve delivered Bravadas to Lake Mead and are working on orders from clients in Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, Travis Lake in Texas and Navajo Lake in New Mexico. They plan to ship one to California this year as well.
What's coming up
Many of Bravada’s clients are families familiar with Lake Powell and the house-boat world. Some may want to spend a couple of weeks every now and then on the lake. A number of clients are wealthy people wanting boats for parties, company outings or just a facet of their luxury lifestyle. One client purchased a Bravada specifically for a family reunion.
Following sea-worthy vessel guidelines to make their boats safer with better fuel efficiency and ample space has been vital to keeping Bravada’s edge in the industry, Gutierrez believes.
Implementing details and futuristic technology — like a rear camera that offers a 360-degree view when a boat is backing up — is part of that formula. That kind of technology is currently used for the jaw-dropping features that have become par for the course on Bravadas.
“It’s shock and awe with what you can do with these boats. When our buyers hear about the movie-theater concept, they’re pretty shocked. The sky’s the limit but a lot of buyers don’t realize what we can do until we introduce them to it,” Gutierrez said.
Currently, Gutierrez said the company is vetting a new technology that goes on the back of the GT. It’s slated to be introduced in May. Although he’s mum on the details, Gutierrez did offer this tease:
“Golfers are going to love it.”

Bravada Yachts Launches “Invictus” ~ Inspired by the Ocean, Built for the Lake
Bravada Yachts is pleased to announce the launch of their newest and most aggressively designed luxury houseboat to date. This 80-foot custom-built wide-bodied lake yacht named “Invictus” debuted at Lake Powell on December 1 and it’s taking the houseboat industry by storm.
The two-and-a-half level, 3,200-square-foot, luxury watercraft valued at about $2 million boasts five staterooms, two bathrooms, two kitchens, seven televisions, custom outdoor furniture, a fire pit, and a waterslide.
Constructed without using wood, drywall, or standard houseboat systems, Bravada has chosen innovative alternatives, optimized for your family’s safety. These include Class A1 Fire-rated raw materials, with superior water/mold/mildew resistance, unmatched soundproofing, and increased energy efficiency.
Every other houseboat manufacturer in the country uses two-by-fours for framing. They use plywood for the floors and subfloors, and drywall for the walls. The problem is that if water gets in, and it always does, the wood can rot or warp and send issues throughout the entire boat. We replaced the wooden two-by-four walls and the plywood floors with lightweight structural steel for the framing, and it’s actually substantially lighter than the wood. So, you get a lighter but more structural boat. In some cases, up to three times as strong as the structure of a typical houseboat. And that allows us to put oversized windows, taller ceilings, and the rooms are nearly soundproof. – Aaron Browning, CEO of Bravada Yachts
The artistry and development process from concept to completion took under two years with modern interiors and bespoke exteriors all designed and built by Bravada Yacht’s elite research and development team. Bravada Yachts has set a new standard in the industry with Invictus, introducing fresh ideas from the first weld to the final touch.
Bravada Yachts is the only luxury houseboat brand with a team consisting of world-class fabricators, master engineers from various disciplines, designers from the ocean yacht world and top-notch industry experts leveling up the game including President Robert Gutierrez, CEO Aaron Browning and Vice President of Operations, Mia Gutierrez.
The team’s combined expertise has allowed for the creation of a completely revolutionized lake yachting experience.
The houseboat industry has been stagnant for decades, the new V-Series represents the first glimpse into the future of houseboating and the direction that we are laser-focused on leading the industry towards. There is a reason houseboats are not built with curves because it’s very labor-intensive, with 1000s and 1000s labor hours to achieve that look. And so that’s what discourages companies from it because if you look at most houseboats, they’ll buy a prefab paneling product and just glue it and screw it to the boat. We embrace the challenges, and we’re excited to see just how far we can push the envelope in the houseboat industry. – Aaron Browning, CEO of Bravada Yachts
Designed by award-winning watercraft alchemist, J. David Weiss, the new Atlas V-Series takes center stage with its sleek lines and high-end features that infuse the ocean yacht world into the lake yachting experience.
The new Atlas V-Series, constructed from structural steel, prides itself on a precise juxtaposition of functionality and stylish aesthetic appeal with two-and-a-half levels and the coveted “reverse layout,” where the stern end of the boat completely opens up with a massive sliding glass door.
Combining luxury with comfort, Invictus has key features including massive “aquarium” style windows, as well as custom sliding and helm doors by Western Windows Systems, which provide unmatched views and a distinctive look.
The main deck is complete with a salon accommodated with a top-of-the-line audiovisual system, designer steam fireplace, and satellite television. Sleeping up to 14 guests, the luxury lake yacht offers five staterooms, two lower cuddy cabins, and two bathrooms with custom tiled showers, LED mirrors, and marbled quartz countertops.
The completely stocked full-sized kitchen comes equipped with quartz countertops and stainless steel Samsung appliances. The carefully-designed helm offers a comfortable captain’s chair and multiple camera displays to assist overall visibility.
The upper deck features amenities such as an outdoor kitchen, featuring stainless steel cabinets, designer backsplash, and grill by RH Peterson, surrounded by custom Dekton countertops, a unique synthetic stone that beautifully defies the elements, a crushed glass-lined fire pit with custom modern daybed seating made with powder-coated steel framing and custom Sunbrella upholstery, and a 15-foot rear waterslide to cool off in a hurry.
Invictus maximizes fuel efficiency with the power and torque needed to maneuver this massive 70-ton vessel. It is one of the only houseboats on the market to use Volvo Diesel engines with the Volvo Penta Outdrives and Bow Thruster. Owners will enjoy an increased top speed, a smooth ride, and near-silent cruising.
Boating and anchoring lessons are just one of the many perks new Bravada owners will enjoy.
We will teach any of the owners personally. So, for example, the boat we just launched has 11 partners. We will release a series of videos that show them how to anchor and drive the vessel. In addition to that, if they want an in-person lesson, we’ll travel up to the lake and teach the owners directly. – Aaron Browning, CEO of Bravada Yachts
Every Bravada Yacht is proudly built in the USA at the Bravada Yachts factory in Tolleson, Arizona. Atlas V-Series models are currently available for single owner or fractional owner purchases.
Material comes into our factory as just raw sheets of metal. We develop, manufacture, and fabricate everything here in Arizona, proudly made in the USA. However, the most significant factor that separates Bravada from competitors is our sense of teamwork. We have a fantastic team across the entire company, and that’s how we launched this new concept in only two years. – Aaron Browning, CEO of Bravada Yachts

BRAVADA Yachts Unveils New Luxury Houseboat
Bravada Yachts is excited to kick-off the New Year with the launch of their newest model, the 2018 V-Series. Docking alongside the popular GT-series and the revolutionary new X-boat, the V-series proves that 2018 will indeed be a Happy New Year for many boat-lovers across the country.
The new executive ownership team of Bravada, COO Robert Gutierrez, CEO Aaron Browning and President Andrew Marshall have set a new standard in the industry, introducing fresh ideas from the first weld to the final launch. Bravada has streamlined production, invested in cutting-edge technology and hired fresh, bright minds to build new luxury houseboats that are stronger, lighter, faster, less top heavy and more fuel efficient than ever. The new V-Series takes center stage with its sleek lines, high-end standard features and a very attractive price tag.
“Our mission at Bravada is simple: to create one-of-a-kind experiences and cherished memories for our customers and their families. We do this by always putting the interests of the boating community first. That’s why our innovative houseboats are both luxurious and attainable” stated CEO, Aaron Browning. “The goal of the new V-Series is to incorporate all the high-end finishes and amenities you’d expect from a $2 million dollar boat into a boat for a fraction of that price. Our new 70 foot V-series starts at $499k.”
The new V-Series prides itself on a precise juxtaposition of functionality and stylish aesthetic appeal complete with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two and a half levels and the coveted “reverse layout”, where the back end of the boat completely opens up with a massive sliding glass door. The vessel sleeps 14 people comfortably and contains a fully-stocked full-sized kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. There are three models within the V-Series that vary in size and cost including 16x70, 18x70 and 22x75 feet each $499,000, $599,000 and $799,000, respectively. Standard features include built-in crushed glass firepit, bow thruster and two motorized winches. Driving and anchoring lessons are just one of the many perks new Bravada owners will enjoy.
Bravada’s fractional ownership program allows buyers to divide the costs of owning a luxury houseboat with a small group of co-owners. Owners receive their “guaranteed week” each year, in addition to using the boat whenever it’s free. This helps with planning trips in advance. V-Series fractional ownership starts at only $34,900.
Every Bravada Yacht is built in the USA at the Bravada factory in Tolleson , Arizona . The V-70 is currently available for single owner or fractional owner purchases.

It was previously known as Kuznetsk until 1931, and as Stalinsk until 1961.
Founded in 1618 by men from Tomsk as a Cossack ostrog (fort) on the Tom River , it was initially called Kuznetsky ostrog ( Кузне́цкий острог ). [2] It became the seat of Kuznetsky Uyezd in 1622. [3] Kuznetsk ( Кузне́цк ) was granted town status in 1689. [3] It was here that Fyodor Dostoevsky married his first wife, Maria Isayeva in 1857. [13] Joseph Stalin 's rapid industrialization of the Soviet Union transformed the sleepy town into a major coal mining and industrial center in the 1930s. It merged with Sad Gorod in 1931. From 1931 to 1932, the city was known as Novokuznetsk and between 1932 and 1961 as Stalinsk ( Ста́линск ), after Stalin. As a result of de-Stalinization , it was renamed back to Novokuznetsk .
As of the 2021 Census , the ethnic composition of Novokuznetsk was: [14]
Within the framework of administrative divisions , Novokuznetsk serves as the administrative center of Novokuznetsky District , even though it is not a part of it.

On 7 December 2009, by a resolution of the Novokuznetsk City Council of People's Deputies, a new version of the City Charter was approved, [16] according to which the authorities consist of:
The Novokuznetsk City Council of People's Deputies is a representative body of power and consists of 18 deputies elected in 18 single-mandate constituencies and 18 deputies elected on party lists. The term of office of deputies is five years. In September 2021, elections were held for the Council of People's Deputies, following which the seats in the council were distributed as follows: 27 - United Russia , 2 - Liberal Democratic Party , 2 - A Just Russia , 2 - Communist Party . The representative of United Russia, Alexandra Shelkovnikova, was elected chairman. The Youth Parliament of the city operates under the City Council of People's Deputies. [19]  A whole network of bodies of territorial public self-government has been created in Novokuznetsk; [20] in total, 60 of them have been created in the city: in the Zavodskoy District - 7, Kuznetsky - 6, Kuibyshevsky - 13, [21] [22] [23] Novoilyinsky - 6, Ordzhonikidzevsky - 9, Central - 16.

RC Novokuznetsk compete in the Professional Rugby League , the highest division of rugby union in Russia. Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky , Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Dmitry Orlov and Minnesota Wild winger Kirill Kaprizov were all born in Novokuznetsk and began their pro careers with Metallurg Novokuznetsk. Novokuznetsk is also the birthplace of US chess Grandmaster Gata Kamsky . The main airport is the Spichenkovo Airport . The city is also a major railway junction with both local and long-distance trains. Local public transport is provided by trams, buses, and trolleybuses.  Novokuznetsk has a fairly typical southwest Siberian humid continental climate ( Köppen climate classification : Dfb ) with warm summers during which most of the precipitation occurs, and severe, generally dry winters. Snowfall is very frequent during the winter, but its water content is generally very low due to the cold temperatures.
