This summer, the FPT sub-dealer DSD Marine Solutions welcomed customers and marine professionals to Valentia Island, Ireland, for a dedicated Open Day organized in collaboration with the FPT distributor Marlin Marine and supported by FPT. The event brought together a diverse audience from across the marine sector, including commercial and leisure boat owners, boat builders, fishermen, and passenger transport operators.

The day created an opportunity to showcase FPT Marine propulsion and Aftermarket solutions, while bringing together customers, industry professionals, and technical experts to exchange experiences and strengthen connections within the local marine community.

With FPT-powered boats on display and a strong brand presence throughout the venue, the event highlighted the value of combining advanced technology, local expertise, and close customer relationships to strengthen FPT’s presence in the Irish marine market.

The Open Day also reflected the strength of FPT’s distribution and dealer network. Through close collaboration with partners such as Marlin Marine and DSD Marine Solutions, FPT can stay close to customers and reinforce its presence across the marine sector.

Feedback shared during the event highlighted the qualities most appreciated by marine professionals in FPT engines, including reliability, performance, low weight, low noise levels, and fuel efficiency. Combined with the expertise and support of the local network, these features help ensure efficiency, operational continuity, and confidence at sea.
