Although Marinero was officially founded in 2019, the real work goes back several decades, as the team’s knowhow is based on more than 30 years of history in ocean sailing, manufacturing, infrastructure development, and the marina industry itself. The two founders have combined two unique backgrounds to create Marinero.

Lili comes from a passionate sailing family. Her father Nándor Fa competed multiple times in the Vendée Globe single-handed, non-stop round-the-world sailing race. She’s participated in countless sailing projects, and has worked over six years in the family business, which manufactures cutting-edge floating pontoons for yacht marinas. In 2018 she met József, an experienced Chemical and Electrical Engineer, with whom they later co-founded Marinero. After several years working in production, Lili saw an opportunity to further develop her father’s legacy pedestals by integrating modern technologies to meet the growing demand for smart solutions, controlled energy and water consumption. With the perfect combination of skills and shared vision, Lili and József teamed up to launch Marinero Ltd.
