Qualified boat electrics engineer serving Brighton — system design, commissioning and specialist problem-solving. Trusted by Brighton boat skippers for over a decade.
Throughout Brighton and the surrounding East Sussex coast, as one of the South Coast's busiest marinas, Brighton Marina is home to hundreds of boats requiring expert wiring care. Our team frequently works at Brighton Marina delivering problem finding, rewiring, battery upgrades and full electrical refits for yachts and motorboats of all sizes. Understanding that local context is part of why our work holds up.
All over Brighton's waterfront — pontoons, drying berths, swinging moorings — complex marine wiring problems need engineering expertise, not guesswork. We bring systematic diagnostic skills and deep technical knowledge to each challenge. In practice, that's the job we do most weeks at Brighton Marina. That ethos is what brings Brighton owners back to us, year after year.
Each termination, each clip, each cable run is a small decision that compounds over the life of the vessel.
Tide windows can shape the working day — we bring everything we need so we're not held up waiting on the next float.
We approach each job the way we'd approach job on our own boats: marine-grade tinned cable, proper crimps, double-clipped runs, and full continuity testing on completion.
We see a real mix of sail and power craft locally, with plenty of long-distance cruisers among them.
Craft live with their wiring for decades — every decision we make is judged against that timescale.

Right across Brighton's berths, we design complete boat electrics setups from scratch — load calculations, cable sizing, circuit protection, and equipment selection tailored to your vessel and cruising plans.
