Whether your craft is berthed at Chichester Marina or Birdham Pool, we deliver reliable wiring expertise with minimal disruption. That's the working environment we know inside out.
Serving Chichester and the wider West Sussex coast, complex boat electrics problems need engineering expertise, not guesswork. We bring systematic diagnostic skills and deep technical knowledge to each challenge. Around Chichester, that mostly means boats berthed at Chichester Marina and Birdham Pool Marina. That's how we approach every job in Chichester.
The difference between a quick fix and a proper boat remedy shows up two seasons down the line — we build for the long term.
Tidal access in Chichester can be tight — we coordinate visit times to suit your berth's window.
Whether the task is a small fault diagnosis or a full setup rebuild, the same care goes into every wire termination and every cable run.
Live-aboard vessels Chichester put serious continuous load on their electrics systems — designs need to reflect that.
Diagnose first, replace second — guessing parts costs the customer money and rarely fixes the underlying problem.
For yacht skippers in and around Chichester Marina and Birdham Pool Marina, we provide handover packs as spec: wiring schedule, photos, fuse map and contact details for follow-up. We work tidy — drop sheets down, tools organised, and the yacht left cleaner than we found it. Familiarity with local insurers and surveyors helps when work requires sign-off for renewal or claim purposes.
For skippers keeping a yacht at Chichester Marina, we design whole marine wiring setups from scratch — load calculations, cable sizing, circuit protection, and equipment selection tailored to your vessel and cruising plans. Every termination, every clip, every cable run is a small decision that compounds over the life of the boat. It's how we task on each visit to Chichester Marina and the wider Chichester area. That detail matters more than it sounds, particularly for yachts kept near Chichester Marina.

In West Sussex, older boats commonly need shore-power setups brought up to current specifications — we handle the certification too.
For Chichester-based owners, when level problem finding isn't enough, our engineering approach uses systematic analysis, oscilloscopes, and circuit theory to find elusive problems in Chichester. 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. It's a small thing that adds up throughout the life of a boat berthed in Chichester.
In West Sussex the local cruising grounds reward dependable electrics — we build with cross-Channel and Solent passages in mind. Vessels in West Sussex regularly see year-round use, so durability matters more than show — we build for that. For Chichester owners, after-care matters — we stay reachable for follow-up questions and small adjustments.
In Chichester specifically, victron systems need proper commissioning to perform at their best. We configure each parameter, set up remote monitoring, and optimise charging profiles. Craft demand a different mindset to land-based wiring — corrosion, movement and water are constant adversaries, and the materials and techniques have to match. That spec applies whether the yacht is at Chichester Marina or on a private mooring nearby. Skippers in West Sussex tend to notice the difference within a season or two.
Many craft berthed at Chichester Marina are kept on the water year-round, so winter resilience is part of the brief. Craft kept at Chichester Marina face the usual coastal challenges — UV, salt and the occasional knock — we build for it. On yachts moored at Chichester Marina, we frequently see issues caused by long-term shore power — we check for it on every visit.

Plenty of Chichester vessels are used for cross-Channel passages — systems need to be trustworthy, not just functional. The mix of berths near Chichester means we bring kit for both pontoon and swinging-mooring access. In West Sussex we see a lot of older fibreglass cruisers being upgraded — this kind of work is bread and butter for us.
We have over 25 years of boat electrics experience throughout the South Coast, including Chichester. Job is documented, tested and certified to current marine specifications. Send through the boat details and we'll come back with timing and a written quote.
Certainly — For Chichester-based yachts, we factor in how the boat's used — coastal hops, cross-Channel passages, or liveaboard — because that changes the right specification. All work is signed off with a written test certificate suitable for insurance and survey purposes. From the Chichester Marina pontoons outward, this is well within our normal working area. Send a couple of photos of the existing fit-out and we'll come back with options and pricing.
