Marine automation: central control on board
Marine automation does for your boat what a smart-home system does for a house: instead of managing each system separately —lighting, climate, security— you control them all from one place.
What can be automated
- Interior and deck lighting, with scenes such as anchorage or night
- Climate control
- Security alarms and bilge sensors, with remote alerts
- CCTV on board
- Power consumption management and battery monitoring
Not just for new boats
Most automation projects are carried out on existing boats. The approach is a refit: we integrate the control system with the boat's current electrical installation, without replacing everything that already works.
That way a classic boat gains the features of a modern one without the cost of a full rebuild.
Which boats it makes sense for
It's especially useful from mid-size lengths, around 12 metres and up, where managing each system separately becomes impractical. But the real criterion isn't just size: it's how many different electrical systems the boat already has. We assess it case by case.
How the process works

- 2ProposalWhat can be centralised and what needs adding.
- 3InstallationFitting and programming the control system.
- 4TestingWe check every scene before closing the project.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace the whole electrical installation to have automation?
Not necessarily: it's usually integrated with what's already there.
Can I control the systems from my phone when I'm off the boat?
It depends on the system installed and the connectivity available on board. We assess it in the proposal.
How long does a full automation project take?
It varies with how many systems are integrated. A lighting and climate project is much faster than one that includes security and CCTV.
Is your boat a candidate for automation?
A survey is usually enough to find out. Tell us about your boat.
