Technology in all areas of life is rapidly changing, and the marine sector is no different. The technologies available today are greatly advanced from even 10 years ago, and the capabilities of your yacht’s navigation and communication equipment may be vastly improved with a system overhaul. This can be anything from a change to the latest chartplotter, the addition of new equipment such as a radar, or an upgrade to each and every device in a complete electrical refit of your navigational equipment.
To allow our marine electricians to be able to advise on any upgrades you may wish to carry out, firstly we will gather as much information about what you already have on board and how you wish to use your sailing yacht or motor boat in the future. If you plan on embarking on a solo circumnavigation, the requirements will be vastly different to a yacht that plans to cruise the Mediterranean for family summer holidays.
Berthon Spain can offer expert advice on either scenario. Our marine electricians have a wealth of knowledge, with experience gained from sailing yachts and motor yachts of all sizes, and in industrial and commercial processes ashore. We have successfully completed full refits of navigational equipment, where an owner decides to go with a new brand, resulting in every single sensor, instrument and display needing to be replaced. Requests from owners and captains for partial refits are also equally common, where perhaps only the chart plotter and displays are upgraded.
The yacht electrical team at Berthon Spain are also on hand to assist with troubleshooting on existing systems. This can sometimes be carried out remotely, so our help is only a phone call away.
