YACHTWAVE® Launches Telematics Platform at IBEX with Faria Beede Instruments

SARASOTA, FL, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- YACHTWAVE today announced the official release of its YACHTWAVE^® Telematics Platform at the International Boat Builders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) 2025 in Tampa, FL, with strategic supply from Faria Beede Instruments, a global leader in marine instrumentation and telematics.

YACHTWAVE Telematics delivers the marine industry’s first intelligence platform, designed to provide boat builders and manufacturers with a clear view of real-world vessel performance. By providing over a dozen actionable metrics, the platform allows builders and OEMs to understand how customers operate their boats, proactively address performance or fuel economy issues, and benchmark vessel efficiency across the industry. Telematics is rapidly transforming marine manufacturing, and YACHTWAVE is at the center of this shift—turning raw NMEA 2000 data into insights that drive better designs, reduced warranty costs, and improved customer satisfaction.

To power this ecosystem, YACHTWAVE is utilizing Faria Beede’s latest telematics device, the newly released Sentry Lite, which connects directly to a vessel’s NMEA 2000 network and securely transmits operational data to the cloud. Together, YACHTWAVE Telematics and Sentry Lite provide a seamless, reliable pipeline from vessel sensors to industry-defining analytics.

“Aligning with Faria Beede is a key step in delivering smarter, data-driven tools to boat manufacturers,” said John O’Keefe, CEO of YACHTWAVE. “By combining their trusted telematics hardware with our data platform, we can finally give OEMs the visibility they’ve been missing once a boat leaves the factory and help to evolve design decisions in the future.”

Faria Beede, founded in 1956 and headquartered in North Stonington, Connecticut, has been a cornerstone of the marine industry for decades. With ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities and in-house electronics manufacturing, the company delivers a full range of analog and digital instrumentation, displays, and telematics solutions trusted by OEMs worldwide. The addition of Sentry Lite underscores Faria Beede’s ongoing commitment to innovation and to equipping manufacturers with smarter, connected tools for the future.
