Netley sits within Hampshire, and netley overlooks Southampton Water with views throughout to the Isle of Wight. We serve Netley yacht skippers with convenient yacht electrical work. That's the working environment we know inside out.

Visiting Netley berths week in, week out, radar is essential safety equipment for passage-making and busy waters. We install and integrate all major brands of yacht radar for boats based in Netley. Boats at Netley moorings and Hamble River (nearby) get this attention as standard whenever we're on site. Around Hampshire this matters — yachts here get used hard.

We approach each job the way we'd approach work on our own boats: yacht-grade tinned cable, proper crimps, double-clipped runs, and full continuity testing on completion.

Some berths only get a useful working window twice a day — we'll arrive in time to make the most of it.

The best boat task disappears into the boat — quiet, trustworthy, never thought about again.

We job on everything from 20-foot day-sailers to 60-foot motor yachts — the principles are the same, the scale changes.
