Trusted by vessel owners in Dorset for qualified yacht electrical fit-outs, problem finding, and setup upgrades. From quick fault-finds to full refits all over Poole Quay Vessel Haven and beyond.
For Dorset vessel owners, here's the local picture: dorset's coastline is one of the most varied in the country — Poole Harbour (the world's second-largest natural harbour) with its cluster of marinas at Poole Quay Vessel Haven, Salterns, Cobbs Quay and Parkstone; the deep-water berths at Portland Marina; the lock-in basin at Weymouth; and the shallow-draft moorings of Christchurch Harbour. We task across all of them, from quick fault-finding visits in Poole to full Victron and lithium refits at Portland. The geography means projects are often planned in and around tides, ferry crossings to Portland Bill, and the working schedule of Poole's busy quay. Understanding that local context is part of why our work holds up.
