When you think of a boat, you might picture glistening fiberglass, the gentle rocking on the water, or the powerful engine propelling you forward. But behind the polished exterior and the satisfying rumble lies a world of complex engineering that’s crucial to the life and performance of every vessel.  From electrics to toilets, navigation equipment to engines, at Suffolk Boat Services our engineers are on hand to keep everything running smoothly!  

Suffolk Boat Services specialises in comprehensive marine electrics, covering everything from 12–48-volt DC systems to full 240-volt AC installations. Our skilled marine electricians deliver reliable diagnostics, wiring, upgrades and fault-finding for batteries, charging systems, navigation equipment and onboard power management. Whether fitting new components or resolving complex electrical issues, we ensure safe, compliant and efficient performance tailored to your vessel.

We understand your boat is your pride and joy, and we believe it should always look it's best!  The harsh marine environment constantly works against your vessel, leading to fouling, oxidation, and a dull appearance. To ensure your boat always looks the best we offer antifouling, compounding, and polishing services.

While fiberglass and wood is the backbone of many boats, stainless steel plays a crucial role in strength, durability, and aesthetics.  From sturdy railings and elegant pulpits to custom-designed davits and robust swim platforms, the versatility of stainless steel makes it essential for the marine environment.  And we are proud to be able to offer full stainless steel services!
