Caribbean Marine Electrical - Trinidad

We always pick up great feedback for this electrical firm, based in Power Boats. The business is run by partners David Laughlin and Brian Sellier who have over 41 years collective experience in the electrical industry. Last season, one Captains quote, in particular, summed up the standard of service from Caribbean Marine Electrical... “Both Brian and David are really reliable. I run a busy charter yacht and they always work to my often difficult deadlines. They are very good to work with and I trust them totally around the boat!” They serve all the yards in the Chaguaramas area, servicing and supplying the full range of marine electrics including starter motors, high power alternators, multi stage regulators, engine panel instrumentation, engine alarm monitoring systems, switch gear, AC/DC distribution panels, shore power and cabli ng systems, cranking batteries and deep cycle lead acid batteries, generators, windlasses, electro-hydraulics, and any custom electrical diagnostic problems one might have... right up to complete re-wiring. Captains were particularly impressed by their 'up- front' and honest approach... and the company commitment to customer service even goes as far as offering a complimentary email follow-up service, whereby yachts they've worked on can come back to them requesting any problem solving or technical advice they might need.
