If you're keeping a yacht in Brighton, you'll know that as one of the South Coast's busiest marinas, Brighton Marina is home to hundreds of craft requiring expert wiring care.

That's the working environment we know inside out.
Serving Brighton and the wider East Sussex coast, if your boat's wiring is more than 15-20 years old, it's time to consider a rewire. Ageing wiring is one of the biggest fire risks on craft. We replace it all with modern, boat-grade materials. Near Brighton, that mostly means boats berthed at Brighton Marina. That principle shapes how we job on every craft we attend in Brighton.
A proper rewire isn't about ripping everything out — it's about understanding the existing setups and replacing what demands replacing in the right order.
Wind-over-tide can make some moorings tricky to step onto — knowing the conditions saves wasted visits.
Future-proofing during a rewire — spare conductors, accessible junctions, room in the trunking — pays back the first time something requires changing.
The local fleet leans towards serious cruising boats, often with significant electrical complexity behind the panel.
Diagnose first, replace second — guessing parts costs the customer money and rarely fixes the underlying problem.
