Dockmate USA, headquartered right here in Fort Lauderdale, specializes in advanced wireless remote-control systems for yachts, designed to simplify docking and maneuvering in tight spaces. Their presence at FLIBS offers a chance for local boat owners and captains to see these systems firsthand and speak directly with company representatives.

CM Control AB, based in Sweden, is known for its innovative marine control solutions, and their collaboration with Dockmate USA brings a broader range of expertise to the Fort Lauderdale market. Exhibiting together, the companies plan to showcase their latest advancements, which often include features like proportional control of engines, bow and stern thrusters, anchor winches, and horn functions, all from a compact, handheld device.

For many Fort Lauderdale residents who navigate the city's extensive canal system and the Intracoastal Waterway and local marinas, precise boat control is paramount. The technology offered by Dockmate USA and CM Control AB aims to enhance safety and ease of operation, making boating more accessible and enjoyable. Attendees at FLIBS will be able to experience demonstrations and learn how these systems can be integrated into various types of vessels.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is scheduled for October 30 to November 3, 2026.
