Understand your onboard electrics.
We look at your existing installation, questions and planned upgrades together. You gain a clearer view of sensible next steps and where an onboard inspection is needed.

INDEPENDENT YACHT ELECTRICAL ADVICE
Technology on board.
Clearly planned.
I advise independently, without ties to manufacturers, yards or products. My sole task is to find the best solution for your boat, not the most profitable one for a supplier.
Whether it’s a refit, planning your onboard electrics or a tricky technical question, I help you understand, plan and move forward. Impartial, honest and on equal terms.
On site across Europe, remotely worldwide. Often, the next useful step is just a video call away.
PLAN FIRST. INSTALL RIGHT.

YOUR TECHNICAL PARTNER AS A YACHT OWNER
You don't have to figure it all out
on your own.
A new yacht, a planned upgrade or conflicting advice: together, we bring structure to your technical questions. What do you really need? What suits your boat? And what can wait?
I am your technical contact for onboard electrical questions, from assessing the existing installation and planning changes to supporting your refit. Together, we establish what your boat needs and agree the scope. Across Europe and remotely worldwide.
TECHNICAL HELP FROM A DISTANCE
You're on board. I'm on screen.
Together, we move forward.
A puzzling battery, questions about an upgrade or three quotes telling three different stories? Let's take a look together. By video call, phone or WhatsApp, I help you understand the connections and find the next sensible step.
Show me your installation and explain what's happening. Photos, equipment details and wiring diagrams help us prepare. I'll explain how it fits together calmly, clearly and with the occasional laugh. Technology is complicated enough already.
Arrange a video call ↗Appointments and scope by agreement. If an inspection or work on board is needed, we involve a qualified person locally.
HOW I CAN HELP
- Understand a quote or proposed solution
- Make sense of components and interfaces
- Narrow down faults using the available information

Yacht electrics
Onboard electrics & energy
From 12 to 400 volts, whether AGM or lithium batteries: solar, charging infrastructure and energy management need to work together. We plan the interaction between batteries, charging sources, distribution and loads and show you what really matters – with the expertise of a qualified German master electrician.
Marine electronics
Navigation & connected systems
NMEA 2000, Raymarine, system monitoring and Starlink: understand interfaces and align upgrades with the existing installation. We also consider the power demand of watermakers and other large loads.
Making it happen together
Technical project support
Compare quotes, coordinate materials lists and find suitable yards or specialists. I support collaboration and help you keep track of the technical connections.
Support for owners
Your technical perspective
For larger projects, I help prepare decisions and review changes with you. We explicitly agree which coordination tasks I take on, together with the contractors doing the work.
Selected onboard support can be arranged where hands-on involvement adds value – for example fault-finding, commissioning or a specific upgrade.
YOUR REFIT. YOUR UPGRADE.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES
Experiences that
speak for themselves.
Translated from the German customer statements.
“Kevin carried out the comprehensive refit of our lithium batteries, charging infrastructure and solar installation on site in Greece. He helped us enormously with sizing cables and equipment. It is reassuring to know we have an experienced expert by our side for future technical questions too.”
“Kevin Meyer supported me for over two years during the electrical refit of my 42-foot aluminium yard-built yacht and was always ready to listen to my questions in Greece.”
“Thanks to the extensive support, we felt confident and well looked after during our refit for self-sufficiency and navigation – entirely remotely while we were in Sardinia.”
“Kevin planned the renewal of our charging infrastructure: replacing the battery banks, installing an inverter, new chargers and a battery-to-battery charger, and connecting it to our Raymarine onboard network. He guided us step by step and explained how everything connects.”
“Competent, calm and very practical support in planning our solar expansion and charging infrastructure during winter storage. Kevin also put together the materials lists and found the cheapest offers for us.”
“Kevin helped us in Messolonghi, Greece, with expanding our solar installation, increasing our lithium battery bank and fault-finding in the existing electrical system. His advice was knowledgeable, practical and straightforward. He quickly found the right approaches to existing problems and helped us greatly with implementation. Highly recommended!”
ABOUT MEYER YACHTING
Experience that doesn't
stop at the office.
Kevin Meyer · Founder & German master electrician
I have held Germany's master electrician qualification since 2013. For ten years, I owned an electrical business in Germany, with a commitment to delivering sound, safe and clearly documented technical solutions.
Boats have been part of my whole life. I spent two years living aboard and cruising with my family. That is why I judge equipment by whether it works reliably underway, remains understandable and can be serviced when it matters.
I have extensively refitted four yachts of my own. My strength is assessing technical connections, setting priorities and finding practical solutions with you.
I'm a practical, good-humoured person: I listen, think things through and enjoy tackling tasks together. You get clear answers and an honest assessment, including when something needs a different plan. I support owners across Europe and remotely worldwide, working with suitable yards and specialists for implementation.
YOUR QUESTIONS
What you might want
to know first.
Can you support my refit without installing it yourself?
Yes. Advice, planning and technical support are the focus. I help clarify requirements, assess quotes and coordinate the work with your yard and specialist contractors.
What can be assessed remotely?
Photos, videos, equipment details, wiring diagrams and quotes allow an initial assessment and targeted questions. We are clear about what cannot be reliably judged this way and whether an onboard inspection is needed.
How do we start planning my upgrade?
In the free introductory call, we discuss your boat, how you use it and your goals. You then receive a quote setting out the planning scope and agreed deliverables.
