Fibrafort and Dayboat Systems announce strategic collaboration to bring innovative experiences to the global marine market
The collaboration marks a step in Fibrafort's international expansion, beginning with an initial order for four vessels and opening doors to explore future technology-driven marine experiences.
ITAJAÍ, BRAZIL & DUBAI, UAE — October 20, 2026 — Fibrafort, South America’s leading motorboat manufacturer, and Dayboat Systems, a marine technology platform developer, today announced a strategic collaboration focused on exploring new opportunities in the recreational marine market.
The collaboration begins with Dayboat Systems' order for four Fibrafort vessels, establishing a solid commercial foundation for the relationship. Both companies are exploring opportunities for technology-driven solutions and new boating experiences as the collaboration evolves.
Exploring digital innovation and connected boating
As part of this exciting initiative, the collaboration is focused on enhancing customer engagement and exploring new digital experiences within the recreational marine market.
Dayboat Systems brings valuable experience and a technology-focused vision to the partnership, including its Boat-as-a-Service concept. Both teams expect to evaluate opportunities for future applications involving Fibrafort vessels as the relationship develops. Furthermore, Dayboat Systems' technology concepts include solutions related to connected boating experiences and vessel management, which the partners are exploring for the future—such as establishing a direct line of sight into real-time asset telemetry, user behavior, and long-term lifecycle management.
Dayboat Systems is focused on developing a range of technology-enabled services designed to enhance vessel management and the overall boating experience. Both companies expect that any potential applications involving Fibrafort vessels will be subject to operational planning and close agreement on how to scale initiatives. Additionally, Dayboat Systems is exploring technology-driven customer engagement concepts, including digital concierge solutions and interactive retail experiences, which bring a wonderful perspective to the future of boat ownership for visitors and users.
“Our vision is Marine for the many,” said Del Bernard, CEO of Dayboat Systems. “We're excited about this partnership as it allows us not only to demonstrate our vision with a leading brand but also help those who have little or no experience with Dayboats into the sector. And for an industry that hasn't changed much in the last 50 years in terms of sales, we are pioneering technologies which have seen the automotive sector grow exponentially in the last 20 years. It's time for boat manufacturers to catch up and show why they are still the leader in luxury retail.”
International market expansion
As an initial step in the collaboration, Dayboat Systems has placed an order for four Fibrafort vessels, supporting the brand's continued international market expansion. The companies expect to explore additional opportunities as the commercial relationship develops, keeping customer preferences for the boating universe around the Seychelles and the UAE in mind.
“Our collaboration with Dayboat Systems represents another opportunity to strengthen Fibrafort's international presence and explore new possibilities in the marine industry,” said Executive Leadership at Fibrafort. “The initial order for four vessels establishes a tangible starting point for this relationship, while opening the door to evaluating future initiatives that may enhance the boating experience and create additional opportunities in international markets.”
