Smartgyro, a global innovator in advanced marine stabilization solutions, is proud to announce its sponsorship and participation in the 22nd Annual Carolina Boat Builders Fishing Tournament, taking place July 23–26, 2025, in Manteo, North Carolina.
Organized by the Dare County Boat Builders Foundation, the event brings together elite boat builders and sportfishing enthusiasts to support local education and scholarships.

Smartgyro is delighted to support this meaningful event and connect directly with the boat building and sportfishing communities, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, education, and the future of the marine industry
This announcement further strengthens Smartgyro’s growing footprint in the sportfishing world, following the brand’s recent partnership with Alabama-based tournament team Rising Sons. Competing across the highly competitive Gulf circuit, the team embodies the performance, resilience, and precision that Smartgyro stabilization technology supports. By minimizing vessel roll in challenging offshore conditions, Smartgyro enables anglers to stay balanced, focused, and energized, enhancing their performance during long, high-stakes tournaments.
Now in its fourth year supporting the Dare County Boat Builders Tournament, Smartgyro is proud to continue its commitment to the fishing and boat building communities that make this event so profound. In the unpredictable conditions of offshore fishing, vessel stability plays a critical role in both comfort and performance. Smartgyro’s marine stabilization technology helps reduce roll, allowing crews to stay focused, limit fatigue, and fish more effectively. Whether underway or in the heat of the action, Smartgyro ensures a smoother, more controlled experience on the water.
“Thanks to the generous support of sponsors like Smartgyro, we are able to provide substantial scholarships to our students each year,” said Jennifer James, Tournament Director at Dare County Boat Builders Foundation. “Our sponsors truly become part of our extended family, and their continued involvement has helped this tournament grow and thrive. We simply could not achieve this level of success without their partnership.”
“In sportfishing, comfort and control aren’t luxuries, they’re essential,” said Bob Walker, Sales Manager (USA) at Smartgyro, “We’re proud to support an event that honours the heritage of craftsmanship while helping anglers and builders alike experience the benefits of cutting-edge marine technology.”
With a rapidly expanding presence across the recreational marine market, Smartgyro continues to demonstrate the impact of advanced stabilization, helping boaters, fishers, and industry professionals stay steady, safe, and competitive on the water.
