About Us
Engineering-Driven Marine Systems Since 1999
eMarine Systems was founded in 1999 by Joe Turner and Gary Chapman, two former NASA engineers who brought a simple but uncompromising principle to the marine industry: power systems must be designed correctly, not guessed at.
That engineering mindset has shaped everything we do since. We started with the fundamentals of onboard power — batteries, inverters, chargers, and converters — and built a reputation on getting those systems right. Over more than 25 years, that foundation has grown into a full spectrum of marine electrical and electronics services.
Experience Across Many Vessel Types
Our team has worked on a wide range of vessels — superyachts, sailing yachts, center consoles, trawlers, and fully electric boats. Each platform brings its own electrical demands, and our engineering background means we design and install systems that are matched to how a vessel is actually used, not just what fits on paper.
Manufacturer Relationships
eMarine holds distributor-level relationships with leading manufacturers, giving our customers access to very competitive pricing.
We're multi-brand experts across the marine electronics landscape — from Simrad to Starlink to Victron — so we can recommend and support the equipment that's actually right for your vessel, not just what we happen to stock.
For the DIY-minded boat owner, our online store gives you direct access to the same trusted brands and components we install every day.
Our Value Proposition
What sets eMarine apart is the engineering that stands behind every project. Each job includes a proper power demand analysis, correct system sizing and component matching, compatibility verification before work begins, and hands-on technical guidance throughout the planning and installation process. Our support continues well after commissioning, with technical service available for the life of the system.
