Overview

About Marine Refrigeration & Ice Makers

Marine refrigeration is fundamentally different from residential refrigeration: tighter tolerances, harsher operating conditions, motion, salt air, and far more demanding duty cycles. For decades we have specialized in the design, installation, and service of marine refrigeration and ice makers on yachts and superyachts — from a single drawer fridge upgrade on a sportfisher to a full galley refit with built-in refrigerators, freezers, wine storage, beverage centers, and high-capacity ice production.

Section 01

Yacht refrigerator and freezer installation

We install built-in marine refrigerators and freezers from the brands engineered for life at sea — including U-Line, Sub-Zero, Isotherm, and Vitrifrigo. Each install is matched to the vessel: existing cutout dimensions where possible, joinery coordination where not, power profile considered against generator and battery banks, and condensate and ventilation routing planned to keep the cabinet running reliably for the long term.

  • Drawer refrigerators and freezers
  • Built-in undercounter refrigeration
  • Full-size galley refrigerators
  • Stand-alone freezers and combination units
  • Cutout-matched replacements to minimize joinery work

Marine ice maker sales, installation, and repair

Ice maker reliability matters more on a yacht than almost anywhere else — and ice makers are also one of the most failure-prone marine appliances because of the combination of water supply, drain, refrigeration, and electrical complexity. We sell, install, diagnose, and repair the full range of marine ice makers from compact built-in units through high-capacity machines producing several hundred pounds per day.

  • Built-in undercounter ice makers
  • Bait freezers and ice production for sportfishing
  • High-capacity ice machines for superyacht service
  • Water supply, drain, and inlet valve troubleshooting
  • Compressor, condenser, and control board replacement
Section 03

Cold storage and walk-in refrigeration for superyachts

Larger yachts and superyachts often require dedicated cold storage capacity — pantry refrigeration, dry-store cooling, dedicated wine storage, and walk-in chill rooms. We design, install, and service cold storage systems with the appropriate condensing units, evaporator coils, controls, and defrost strategies for marine duty.

Section 04

Yacht refrigeration diagnostics and onboard repair

Most marine refrigeration failures trace back to a small number of root causes: failed door gaskets, condenser airflow restriction, refrigerant leaks at flare or braze joints, water supply problems on ice makers, or failed compressor start components. Our technicians carry the common parts and diagnostic tools needed to perform most repairs on the first onboard visit.

Section 05

Galley refit coordination

A galley refit is more than swapping appliances — it requires coordinated planning of joinery, electrical, plumbing, refrigeration, and ventilation. We handle the full refrigeration scope of yacht galley refits and coordinate cleanly with captains, project managers, and shipyards across South Florida.
