Navigation lights not working on your yacht in Brighton? We remedy and upgrade nav lights for safety and compliance. Free quote, written scope, no surprises — all over Brighton.
Brighton sits within East Sussex, and as one of the South Coast's busiest marinas, Brighton Marina is home to hundreds of yachts requiring experienced electrical care. Our team routinely works at Brighton Marina providing issue finding, rewiring, battery upgrades and full electrics refits for yachts and motorboats of all sizes. That's the working environment we know inside out.
Visiting Brighton berths week in, week out, working navigation lights are a legal requirement and safety essential. Whether your nav lights have failed, are dim, or need upgrading to modern LEDs, we provide fast, dependable nav light work for boats in Brighton. All our fittings comply with IRPCS (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea). In practice, that's the work we do most weeks at Brighton Marina. That principle shapes how we job on every craft we attend in Brighton.
Network commissioning is where most nav installs fall down — we get the device IDs, instances and groupings right so the setup works as designed.
We know which marinas have lift-out facilities, which require tender access, and which are walk-on — and plan callouts around it.
Dual-station setups, repeaters and cockpit displays all need data flow planning — not just hardware fitting.
The fleet ranges from classic wooden yachts to modern production cruisers — we've worked on most of them.
We'd rather take an extra hour to do something neatly than rush it and have to come back.

Right throughout Brighton's berths, failed nav lights are often caused by corroded connections, failed switches, or water ingress in the light fitting.
