Serving Netley and the wider Hampshire coast, catamarans present unique electrics challenges — dual hulls mean more cable runs, larger deck areas mean more solar potential, and the cruising lifestyle demands energy independence.

Locally that includes vessels kept at Netley moorings and Hamble River (nearby) and the surrounding Hampshire berths. It's why local craft owners in Netley keep coming back to us.

The best marine job disappears into the vessel — quiet, dependable, never thought about again.

Skippers run everything from weekenders to fully-equipped liveaboards, and we tailor our task accordingly.

Netley: Dual-Hull Wiring

From day-to-day task in Netley, catamarans need cable runs across the bridge deck between hulls. We route and protect these critical connections for catamarans in Netley. Boats demand a different mindset to land-based wiring — corrosion, movement and water are constant adversaries, and the materials and techniques have to match. It's how we work on every visit to Netley moorings and the wider Netley area. It's how we deliver consistent results near Netley moorings.

On older yachts near Netley, panel real estate is tight — we plan layouts to fit cleanly without compromising serviceability.

Solar Array Installation (Netley)

Right across Netley's berths, catamaran deck and bimini space is ideal for solar. We design and install large solar arrays with Victron MPPT controllers for maximum energy harvest on catamarans in Netley. The difference between a quick sort and a proper yacht repair shows up two seasons down the line — we build for the long term. That's a recurring theme on the vessels we attend in Netley.

Craft in Hampshire regularly see year-round use, so durability matters more than show — we build for that.

Owners in Netley typically value reliability over flash — that aligns with how we approach every job.

Around Netley moorings, cats need serious battery capacity for liveaboard comfort. We install large LiFePO4 banks with smart BMS and Victron monitoring for catamarans based in Netley. Yacht electrics live a hard life — salt, vibration, damp and constant cycling — so the specifications we work to are higher than anything you'd find in a domestic setting. That spec applies whether the yacht is at Netley moorings or on a private mooring nearby. It's something we see frequently on Netley-based yachts.

Many Netley boats are used for cross-Channel passages — setups need to be dependable, not just functional.

Absolutely — For Netley-based boats, we factor in how the yacht's used — coastal hops, cross-Channel passages, or liveaboard — because that changes the right specification.
