Octopus Yachts: Marine Electrical Systems

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! Service: Installation

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 cannot say how thrilled I am with the service that Aaron and the team provided us. We had an autopilot HARD down. They found the needed part, met us pierside for installation and testing. Aaron then went out with us to ensure it was working properly. He even helped us customize the display on the ride back to the pier. This company knows what they are doing, stocked the needed supplies to be responsive, and understands the importance of ensuring their work is top notch when the systems ensure the safety of you and your family. Highest recommendations! Services: Installation, Panel replacement or upgrade

I also used this company and had a TERRIBLE experience and would not recommend them to anyone. TERRIBLE communication, TERRIBLE service. They were good at one thing.... asking for more $$$$$$.

Octopus Yachts provides excellent customer service. They have worked with me providing phone support, technical guidance and technical service as subject matter experts. Octopus repaired a factory radar wiring issue unplanned during a busy day, while short handed and under COVID rules. They could have rescheduled, but instead stayed and corrected the issue getting me underway safely. I highly recommend them for their knowledge, workmanship and professionalism. Don't hesitate to do business there.
