Bluewater Yacht Tech, LLC

Bluewater Yacht Tech is a Fort Lauderdale-based marine systems company specializing in custom electrical, navigation, and hybrid energy solutions for recreational and cruising vessels. While the company has developed particular expertise in catamarans and multihulls, it serves all vessel types, from performance sailboats to luxury motor yachts.

The company was founded by Rafael, a marine systems engineer with decades of hands-on experience ranging from routine dockside troubleshooting to full-vessel refits. As a certified Victron and Mastervolt integrator with deep fluency in Raymarine, Garmin, and B&G platforms, Rafael brings both technical rigor and practical seamanship to every project.

Bluewater Yacht Tech's core services include:

• Electrical refits and power systems — lithium battery conversions, high-output alternators, custom distribution panels, and shore power upgrades

• Navigation and electronics integration — chartplotters, radar, sonar, AIS, and onboard connectivity, configured for ease of use underway

• Hybrid and renewable energy systems — design and installation of solar, wind, and battery systems engineered to reduce generator dependency on extended passages

The philosophy at Bluewater Yacht Tech is centered on reliability: every system is designed to perform under the conditions actual bluewater use demands, and not only at the dock!
