Ship's electrical systems, end to end
Think of a yacht the way you'd think of a house: there's a service entrance, a main panel, branch circuits, controls, alarms, lighting and appliances. That entire system is our department.

Marine electrical, not marine electronics
"Marine electronics" covers three very different departments: bridge navigation gear, audio and video systems, and the ship's electrical system. Prism works exclusively in the third — the generators, switchgear, wiring, controls, alarms, lighting and appliances that make the vessel function.
Staying in one lane is why we're good at it. When a job needs a navigation or A/V specialist, we tell you straight away and often recommend someone we trust.
What we do
- • Generators, shore power, switchgear
- • Distribution, breakers, wiring
- • Controls, automation, VFDs, harmonics
- • Battery load testing and bank replacement
- • Alarm and fire systems
- • Grounding, bonding, hull potential
- • Nav, LED and underwater lighting
- • Galley and laundry appliances
What we don't do
- • Bridge navigation electronics (radar, plotters, autopilots)
- • Audio, video and entertainment systems
- • Generator and engine mechanical rebuilds
- • Generator rigging, removal and reinstallation
- • Factory-authorized warranty work on proprietary systems
- • Product-specific service for brands like Crestron or CMC
- • Dealer or distributor sales — we don't rep or sell products

Dockside, in the yard or before departure — we'll book a visit that fits your program and give you the number up front.
A predictable process, every time
Call and describe the fault
You speak with a marine electrician, not a dispatcher. We ask the questions that narrow the problem before anyone drives to the boat.
Diagnose by measurement
On board we work from prints and instruments — clamp meters, insulation testers, thermal imaging — so the fix addresses the cause, not the symptom.
Repair to marine standard
Tinned copper, correctly rated terminations, adhesive-lined heat shrink, proper support and clear labeling on every circuit we touch.
Test, label and document
Systems are tested under real load, panels are relabeled and you receive documentation your captain, surveyor or insurer can use.
Call now for 24/7 emergency response
Faults don't wait for business hours. Neither do we — Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade, around the clock.

The questions we're asked most about scope, availability, pricing and surveys.
What exactly does a marine electrician do that an electronics tech doesn't?
We handle the ship's electrical system — anything a wire touches on board. That means generator output, shore power, switchgear, distribution, breakers, batteries, control circuits, alarms, lighting and appliances. Electronics techs handle bridge navigation gear and audio/video systems. Those are different departments, and we don't work in them.
Do you service navigation electronics or audio/video systems?
No. Prism Marine Electric is strictly a marine electrical company. We do not install or repair radar, chartplotters, autopilots, satellite systems, televisions, audio or entertainment systems. If that's what you need, we'll happily point you toward a reputable specialist.
Do you work on high voltage as well as low voltage?
Yes. We work from 480V/240V/120V AC shore power and generator systems through 24V and 12V DC control and accessory circuits. Most real-world faults cross between the two, so treating them as one system is the only way to find the cause.
Are you available for emergencies?
Yes — we operate 24/7. If a vessel loses power, has a hot panel, or a fault appears before a departure, call 954-210-4010 and you'll reach someone who can triage the problem immediately.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Fort Lauderdale and serve the tri-county area: Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade. Domestic and international service is available upon request for vessels we maintain.
