Game-Changing Technology

Forward-Facing Sonar

See what's in front of your boat in real time — fish, structure, bottom contour — before you're over it. Forward-facing sonar has revolutionized fishing, and we install and configure it properly so you get the most out of it.

🐟
Garmin LiveScope™

Real-time scanning sonar that shows you live images of fish and structure ahead of, below, or around your boat. The industry benchmark for forward-facing sonar — we install and calibrate for optimal performance on your hull.

🎯
Lowrance ActiveTarget 2

Live sonar with forward, down, and scout modes. See fish swimming in real time and watch how they react to your presentation. We handle full transducer installation and MFD integration.

📡
Simrad FishReveal™

Simrad's CHIRP sonar with FishReveal technology overlays fish arches directly on structure imagery. Combined with Simrad MFD integration, it creates the most detailed underwater picture available.

🔧
Transducer Placement & Mounting

Proper transducer placement is critical — a poorly mounted transducer degrades performance regardless of the unit above it. We assess your hull, select the correct location, and mount it for clean water flow and maximum signal quality.

Why Proper Installation Matters
Sonar Is Only As Good As Its Install

Forward-facing sonar is the most installation-sensitive electronics category on a boat. Turbulent water flow from improper transducer placement, interference from nearby through-hulls, or incorrect tilt angle can render even a $2,000 LiveScope system nearly useless.

Our Airmar Certified and NMEA-certified installers assess your hull type, engine configuration, and existing through-hull locations before recommending transducer placement. We mount, cable-route, and configure your system for the best possible real-world performance — then take it on a test run to verify.

Safety & Security

Thermal, Night Vision & Surveillance

See in the dark, navigate safely at night, and monitor your vessel around the clock — we install and integrate all camera systems with your onboard MFD.

🌡️
Thermal Cameras
FLIR / Garmin — Night Navigation & Safety

Thermal imaging cameras detect heat signatures invisible to standard cameras — people in the water, other vessels, navigation markers, and wildlife. Essential safety technology for nighttime cruising, offshore passages, and anyone navigating Florida's busy intracoastal after dark.

  • FLIR M-Series and Garmin Fantom thermal camera installation
  • Integrated display on Garmin, Simrad, or Raymarine MFDs
  • Pan/tilt mount options for full field of view coverage
  • Ideal for offshore passages, night docking, and safety watches
  • Detects people in the water up to several hundred meters away
🔭
Night Vision Cameras
Low-Light Color — Enhanced Situational Awareness

Advanced low-light color cameras provide exceptional nighttime visibility without thermal imaging costs. Perfect for docking cameras, stern cameras, and bridge cameras — high-definition color video in conditions where standard cameras produce nothing but noise.

  • High-definition low-light color imaging
  • Weatherproof marine-rated housing
  • Ideal for docking, cockpit monitoring, and blind-spot coverage
  • MFD and standalone monitor integration
  • Multiple camera configurations for complete vessel coverage
📹
Vessel Surveillance Systems
Dock Security — Remote Monitoring — DVR Recording

Protect your investment at the dock with a marine-grade surveillance camera system. Monitor your vessel remotely from your phone, record activity around the boat 24/7, and deter theft and vandalism.

  • Multi-camera systems covering all angles of your vessel
  • DVR/NVR recording with local and cloud storage options
  • Remote live viewing from smartphone or tablet
  • Motion-triggered alerts sent to your phone
  • Marine-rated weatherproof camera housings throughout

  • Compatible with Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, and Furuno MFDs
  • Split-screen views combining chart and camera feeds
  • Automatic docking camera activation in reverse
  • Clean cable routing with no exposed wiring
  • Single-source installation — one company, complete system
The Backbone of a Modern Helm

NMEA 2000 Network Integration

A properly designed NMEA 2000 network is what separates a collection of individual devices from a fully integrated marine electronics system — and we're certified to build it right.

NMEA 2000 is the industry-standard communication protocol that allows all your marine electronics to share data over a single network backbone. When properly installed, your chartplotter knows your engine RPM, your autopilot sees wind data, and your MFD displays depth from any sonar on the network.

As NMEA Certified Installers, we design and build your network from scratch — proper backbone sizing, correct termination, T-connector placement, and load calculations to ensure every device communicates reliably without dropouts or interference.

Whether you're adding one device or building a complete helm from the ground up, we ensure your NMEA 2000 network is built to last and easy to expand in the future.

Why It Matters

Certified Beats DIY. Every Time.

Certification isn't just a credential — it's the difference between an install that performs flawlessly for years and one that causes problems from day one.

01🏭
Factory Warranty Protected

Garmin and other manufacturers require certified installation for full factory warranty coverage. An uncertified install can void your warranty on thousands of dollars of equipment. We're Garmin Factory Certified and Airmar Certified — your warranties stay intact.

02🔌
Proper Electrical Safety

ABYC certification means our electrical work meets the marine industry's highest safety standards. Improper wiring is the leading cause of boat fires — our certified team eliminates that risk on every installation we complete.

03⚙️
Optimized Performance

Factory training means we know how to configure these systems — not just connect them. Autopilot calibration, sonar transducer placement, radar beam alignment, and NMEA network tuning are all done to factory specification for maximum real-world performance.
