Yacht bonding setup fitting in The Hamble — protect your boat from corrosion and galvanic damage. Local marine electricians, not domestic sparks.
If you're keeping a boat in The Hamble, you'll know that the Hamble is synonymous with sailing excellence, and its marinas — Hamble Point, Mercury Yacht Harbour, and Port Hamble — attract vessel owners who demand the best. We deliver qualified yacht electrical work to match the benchmarks expected on the Hamble. That's the working environment we know inside out.
Serving The Hamble and the wider Hampshire coast, a properly wired in bonding system protects your vessel's underwater metals from galvanic corrosion.

The Hamble Point Marina fleet sees plenty of this kind of work — and it's what we set out to be solid at. It's the standard we hold ourselves to on each The Hamble visit.
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.

Near Hamble Point Marina, dissimilar metals in salt water create galvanic cells that eat through expensive fittings. Proper bonding and anodes prevent this damage on craft in The Hamble.
