Octopus Yachts: Marine Electrical Systems

At first we got off to a slow start with scheduling and parts availabilty. But when we finally got going we removed all of the Ray Marine electronics that were in my boat ( 38 foot Sea Ray Sundancer) and installed all new up to date Garmin. Their advice was right on the money. All the new electronics is very user friendly and does exactly what they said it would do. Was it a little bit pricey, yes, but when it was all said and done I got what I paid for. Once it was installed the training was second to none also. I would have no reservations on using them again.

I had Octopus install a full Garmin suite of electronics and a complete Fusion sound system install on my boat. This included removal of the old systems, and fabrication for the new systems. The functionality of the systems is flawless, which I expected, but all the work that was done looks as if it was done the manufacture of the boat at the factory. Just perfect.
If you need this kind of work done. Call Octopus Yachts!

Octopus Yachts installed an upgraded electronics on my 283 Grady White. I was extremely impressed with their knowledge, professionalism and workmanship.
They even went above and beyond during this installation. While completing the installation, they identified and corrected an ongoing problem with the hydraulic steering.
I would highly recommend Octopus Yachts to others!

We have had an extremely positive experience with Aaron and his team installing a Garmin autopilot system in a small pilothouse boat with two helms - the two helms are at the same vertical level, one behind another which makes the hydraulic install a bit tricky; at the same time we also have had the ACR wireless lanyard system installed, and upgraded the Garmin maps/apps, plus some cleaning up of electric in the dashboard, etc.

I am an okay DIY-er but this project was too complex, involving critical systems, just too much for me to tackle. The wait times for their service can be long-ish, as they are busy, but that did not bother me and their communication is great. They are not cheap, which is also fine given the quality of their work - first class.

They provide clear estimates, and at delivery Aaron was the one who took us out for the calibrations/sea trial; he took several hours to adjust and calibrate the new systems and features, checking EVERYTHING, and providing point-by-point explanation of what was done and why, along with some personal anecdotes of what can go wrong and why. At some point, he questioned if there is possibly any air bubble left in the steering hydraulics and, just to be on the safe side, rebled the entire steering system one more time - with his portable bleeding system, using his own extra fluid.

About 3 months and many boating hours later everything works as expected. Thank you, Aaron and the Team!

I have been using Octopus Yachts - Marine Electrical Systems successfully for many years on my past two boats.
This past year, (2019) I had to replace all of my E-series Raymarine electronics on my Grady White Marlin 30. When I first contacted Aaron and Tim at Octopus, they were exceptionally responsive and prompt. They helped me select the best electronics package that matched how we use our boat and were very easy to work with. We ultimately installed two Raymarine Axiom Pro units (12 and 9 inch), Autopilot, Radar, transducers, antenna, accessories, etc. The installation was done on time, within budget, very clean, calibrated, and they did everything they had committed to do. The expertise of their technicians and the quality of their workmanship was exceptional. Their pricing is very competitive, customer service has been extraordinary and they have always been prompt to answer any follow up questions I had.
I highly recommend Octopus Yachts Marine Electrical Systems for any electronic installation or electrical work on your boat.
You will be very satisfied that you selected Octopus, they simply are the best !!!!
