On the open water, safety is the first imperative. Various maritime systems working together provide ship security and your safety. For example, the Chart House team routinely recommends installing an automatic identification system (AIS) that allows you to get help even if you lose your other communication systems. The AIS pinpoints your craft’s location in real time, making it a potential lifesaver, since rescue crews can find you even if you lose your cell phone overboard.

Another safety system is onboard lighting, which you can customize. While the lighting has to serve a functional purpose for safety reasons, the cables and wiring that make it work must be hidden and protected from the salt air and water. When a lighting system is installed expertly, you don’t even notice it; it just works like it’s supposed to. The electrical components also must be easily accessible for maintenance and repair.

Once you know that you’ve done everything to prepare for the unexpected, you can relax and enjoy the boating experience. Chart House Marine Electronics & Outfitting makes sure the systems installed preserve your safety while making your voyages easier and more fruitful. Outfitting your vessel with the latest in safety equipment and systems is the wisest investment you can make. And the technicians provide you the training you need to operate and troubleshoot them when you’re out on the water.
