Timeless elegance: VDO has recently presented the AcquaLink instrumentation line for premium sailboats and motorboats. The combination of analog instruments, sensors and TFT displays gives customers a simple harmonization of the marine instrument panels. Now VDO has developed the White Series of AcquaLink measuring instruments, making the design even more flexible. Starting in February 2016, VDO customers will be able to choose between the gray-black solutions of the Black Series and the new White Series. The multi-functional TFT display lies at the heart of the proven technology, with an aluminum housing and a fitted cover made of coated mineral glass. Boat owners can now retrofit individual AcquaLink instruments thanks to the new adapter cable. It enables compatibility and connectivity of the 110 mm round instruments with the 12V NMEA 2000 network.

The growth and industrial integration process initiated by the Opacmare Group in recent years culminated in 2025 with the acquisition of the Viareggio-based company. This operation strengthens the Group’s presence in the superyacht accessories and megayacht segment and supports an industrial model based on integration, advanced customization, and a range of systems that redefine the relationship between yachts and the sea, now covering handling systems from 10 to 200 m.
