Specialist catamaran electrics services in Brighton — dual-hull setups, solar arrays, and lithium energy independence. Trusted by Brighton craft owners for over a decade.
For Brighton craft owners, here's the local picture: as one of the South Coast's busiest marinas, Brighton Marina is home to hundreds of boats requiring specialist electrics care. Our team regularly works at Brighton Marina offering fault finding, rewiring, battery upgrades and full wiring refits for yachts and motorboats of all sizes. It shapes the kind of work we do here every week.
Talk to any vessel owner in Brighton and you'll hear the same thing — catamarans present unique wiring challenges — dual hulls mean more cable runs, larger deck areas mean more solar potential, and the cruising lifestyle demands energy independence. We have extensive track record with catamarans in Brighton including Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Leopard, and Bali models. The Brighton Marina fleet sees plenty of this kind of job — and it's what we set out to be sound at. That ethos is what brings Brighton skippers back to us, year after year.
The wiring you can see is only part of the story — what counts is what's behind the panel, and that's where we focus our attention.
Spring and neap cycles change which berths are workable on any given day — we plan calls accordingly.
We assume nothing on a first visit — meter readings before opinions, each time.
Lots of the yachts around Brighton are kept on the water year-round, so reliability matters more than weekend convenience.
Good boat electrics work is invisible — neat, dependable, and never something you have to think about again.

Every job is documented with before/after photos and circuit diagrams where appropriate. Long-standing relationships with local yards mean we can usually arrange access, lift-outs and yard work as part of larger callouts.
On craft in Brighton, catamarans need cable runs throughout the bridge deck between hulls. We route and protect these critical connections for catamarans in Brighton. We approach each job the way we'd approach work on our own yachts: yacht-grade tinned cable, proper crimps, double-clipped runs, and full continuity testing on completion. Yachts at Brighton Marina get this approach as a matter of routine. It's level practice for the task we carry out across Brighton.
Typical in Brighton: salt-air corrosion on terminals — we treat every connection on this kind of work. Plenty of Brighton vessels are used for cross-Channel passages — systems need to be trustworthy, not just functional. In East Sussex, older yachts commonly need shore-power setups brought up to current benchmarks — we handle the certification too.
Across Brighton's berths, catamaran deck and bimini space is ideal for solar. We design and fit large solar arrays with Victron MPPT controllers for maximum energy harvest on catamarans in Brighton. We bring the same care to a £200 fault-find as a £20k refit — it's how we keep both ends of the customer base happy. That detail matters more than it sounds, particularly for boats kept near Brighton Marina.
Craft based in Brighton are regularly used by multiple family members or charter crews — clearly labelled controls matter. On boats moored at Brighton Marina, we frequently see issues caused by long-term shore power — we check for it on every visit.

Each termination, each clip, each cable run is a small decision that compounds over the life of the vessel. It's how we work on every visit to Brighton Marina and the wider Brighton area. It's a small thing that adds up all over the life of a craft berthed in Brighton.

The wiring you can see is only part of the story — what counts is what's behind the panel, and that's where we focus our attention. Owners in East Sussex tend to notice the difference within a season or two.
