Marine electrician for boat and yacht electrics
A marine electrician works on the electrical systems of boats: batteries and charging, DC and AC circuits, shore power, navigation lights and electronics. It is different from domestic work because of salt, movement, damp and low-voltage systems where cable sizing matters. Some people call the role a boat electrician or yacht electrician; the job is the same.
We provide marine electrical services from Brighton to Southampton, working on board at your berth: fault finding, boat rewiring, marine electrical installation, LiFePO4 batteries, Victron systems, solar, generators and surveys. Every job starts with an assessment and a written quote.
