Marine Systems Installation

​

Electrical, Plumbing & HVAC Installation for Yachts

​

Velaris Marine provides onboard systems installation and upgrade work for yachts and motor boats, supporting refit programmes, equipment upgrades and manufacturer build schedules. From our base in Poole, Dorset we work throughout the South Coast, across the UK and internationally where vessels require coordinated trade support during maintenance or refurbishment periods.

​

Onboard systems must operate reliably in a moving and corrosive environment. Installation work often needs to be carried out alongside carpentry, structural and finishing stages, particularly during refit projects where access is available before interiors are reassembled.

​

Marine Systems Services

​

Marine Electrical Installation

​

Installation and modification of onboard electrical systems including routing cables, fitting distribution equipment, integrating new equipment and preparing vessels for updated electronics.

​

Plumbing & Water Systems

​

Fresh water, grey water and waste plumbing installation, pump replacement, pipe routing and tank connections carried out during upgrade or refurbishment periods.

​

HVAC & Ventilation

​

Installation and modification of marine air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems, often completed during interior refits where access behind linings and joinery is available.

​

Equipment Integration During Refit

​

Systems installed alongside structural and interior works to avoid later removal of finished panels or cabinetry, improving long-term serviceability.

 

Why Systems Work Is Often Done During a Refit

​

Many onboard installations are best completed when a vessel is already opened up for refurbishment. This allows:

​

• hidden routing behind joinery

• reduced disruption to finished interiors

• safer access to structural areas

• coordinated installation between trades

• improved long-term reliability

​

Because Velaris Marine carries out multiple trades, systems can be installed at the correct stage rather than after interiors are completed.

​

Local and Nationwide Support

​

We regularly undertake onboard installations within Poole Harbour, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Lymington and Southampton, where vessels are scheduled for maintenance and upgrades. Larger installation programmes and builder support projects are also carried out across the UK and internationally when vessels require consistent workmanship across locations.

​

Supporting Owners, Builders & Shipyards

​

Our systems installation services support:

​

• owners upgrading equipment

• refit and refurbishment programmes

• production builders during completion

• shipyards requiring additional trades

• warranty rectification work

​

Work is scheduled to align with project timelines and other contractors to avoid unnecessary delays.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Do you repair faults or only install systems?

​

We focus primarily on installation and upgrade work during refits and planned maintenance rather than emergency repair call-outs.

​

Can systems be installed while the boat is afloat?

​

Many installations can be completed alongside, although some works may require yard access depending on equipment location.

​

Do you coordinate with other contractors?

​

Yes. Systems installation often takes place alongside carpentry and interior finishing during refit periods.

​

Do you work outside the South Coast?

​

Yes. While we attend vessels locally, we also undertake scheduled projects across the UK and internationally.

​

Do you support manufacturer and warranty work?

​

Yes. We provide installation and rectification support during build completion and warranty phases.
