Seacraft Marine Ltd

What Seacraft Marine Ltd does

Seacraft Marine Ltd is a UK private limited company founded in 2005 and based at Salterns Marina in Sandbanks, Poole, operating in the marine electronics and bespoke fabrication segment. The business installs, services, and supplies marine electronics as an authorized dealer and certified installer for a broad set of premium brands including Raymarine, Garmin, Simrad, B&G, Lumishore, FLIR, Fusion, Icom, Dometic, and Victron, and is REFCom-accredited for marine air conditioning work. Beyond installation, the company offers in-house CAD design and CNC routing to produce bespoke dash panels, mounting brackets, and dashboard refurbishments, distinguishing it from pure-installation competitors on the South Coast. Customers span private boat owners, charter operators (Commercial RIB Charters, True Blue Fishing Charter), boat management firms (Cruise Control Ltd), and OEM relationships with builders and importers (Superhawk Marine, Botnia Targa).

The revenue model combines hardware sales at dealer margins, project-based installation labour billed per vessel, bespoke design and fabrication fees, and repair/service work, supported by a physical showroom at the Salterns Marina site and a 3-year extended warranty on Raymarine installations as a customer acquisition lever. The team is approximately four people, including the founders, with relevant marine credentials such as RYA Offshore Yacht Master. International installation projects have been delivered in Spain, France, and the UAE, indicating service delivery beyond the UK home market. The company operates as a founder-owned micro-SME with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or leadership turnover in the available data.

Direct peers

• Hamble Yacht Services: South Coast UK (Hamble-based) marine electronics and yacht services provider offering electronics installation, repair, and commissioning — directly comparable geography, customer base, and service scope to Seacraft Marine.
• Trident Marine Electronics: UK marine electronics retailer and installer with similar one-stop supply-install-service offering across major brands. Comparable business model and customer profile to Seacraft Marine.
• Coastwater Marine Electronics: Chichester-based marine electronics installer and dealer on the South Coast. Directly competes for the same leisure-boat owner and small commercial customer with overlapping brand partnerships (Raymarine, Garmin, Simrad).
• Midshore Marine Electronics: UK marine electronics installation and service company serving leisure and small commercial vessels. Comparable in scale, model (dealer + installer + service), and product range to Seacraft Marine.
• MGM Electronics (UK Marine): UK-based marine electronics installer and dealer focused on leisure and commercial vessels. Similar scale, same product set (Raymarine/Garmin/Simrad installations), and same custom-fabrication adjacency as Seacraft Marine.

Broad incumbents

• Navico (Simrad / Lowrance / B&G): Parent group of Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G — three of the brands Seacraft Marine is authorised for. Broad incumbent shaping the equipment ecosystem that drives the installer's revenue.
• Garmin Marine: Global marine electronics brand; one of Seacraft Marine's authorised dealer relationships. Sets product roadmap, warranty terms, and channel economics that the installer is exposed to.
• Raymarine: Global premium marine electronics brand whose products Seacraft Marine installs. Sets the technology standard, drives replacement-cycle demand that feeds Seacraft's install revenue, and could (in theory) disintermediate the installer channel.
• Dometic Marine: Global marine HVAC/refrigeration brand for which Seacraft Marine is an approved UK installer. Drives the AC installation side of Seacraft's business and provides REFCom-accredited credibility.

Emerging players

• Digital Yacht: UK marine electronics designer and manufacturer of navigation/communication products. Adjacent rather than directly competitive — overlaps on installation-adjacent solutions and shares the same South Coast/UK OEM ecosystem.
