Testimonials
“I would like to state how pleased I am with Wayne’s efforts. The installation is very professional, the work was carried out on time and within budget, and there was not a speck of dust to show for his efforts. I am seriously impressed. If you ever need a "satisfied customer" to speak to someone, please put my name forward - I would be happy to support you.”

“Thank you so much for such a prompt and comprehensive reply. It really is reassuring to know that there is an expert out there who can give such a great service. The generator has now done 2100 hours and has been pretty much trouble free. Quite a contrast with the experience of other long distance sailors we meet using competitors' products where the generator seems to be a constant cause for concern. You certainly have a great product and we are very pleased with it.”

"From the first contact I found Advance Yacht Systems to be totally professional, very informative and helpful, explaining the options available without any hard sell. The standard of fitting of air conditioning, watermaker and generator was excellent with great care being taken on the boat. Overall I am really delighted with the products and the fit on my yacht.

"Having had a bad experience with our first watermaker we met Rod of Advance Yacht Systems Ltd at the London Boat Show (2008) who showed us the Dessalator D60 which we subsequently purchased. We opted to install the unit ourselves which proved to be very straight forward and, with much support and advice from Rod, was achieved in a matter of hours over a period of a couple of weeks. We are extremely pleased with our Dessalator. Since its installation, and right through our Atlantic crossing earlier this year, the Dessalator performed admirably and we would not now be without it. Our thanks to Rod Boreham and his staff at Advance Yacht Systems Ltd for their unfailing after sales support."

"Installation performed like a dream
and made life aboard luxurious. As I said before
your work and after sales service is the best in the
business. No
one else can touch you. We have 330 miles to
run. I’ll be putting in a glowing report
about you to Yachting Monthly/World, who will run an “ARC
equipment review” article. Well done and
thank you for helping make the ARC possible for me."

"Since Advance Yacht Systems
fitted electric
toilets, a new generator, and an electric winch
we now spend more time on our Lagoon 380s catamaran. Winter
weekends are a pleasure with the extra power available
to boost our heating system, operate the coffee machine,
and take hot showers. We are only too happy
to leave the toilet pumping, and winch winding behind."

“Sound professional advice backed up by a top-class
installation. After sales service first class.”
Mr Max Hubbard – X-Yacht 50

“The installation kit and advice given was very
comprehensive to ‘DIY’ fitting. Staff
were very helpful and the product so far has lived
up to expectations. Hours run to date: 57.”
Mr David Noyce – Nimbus 320
(Mar 2008)
“Because you are competitive with others, what
stood out was your obvious ability to install the systems
to my satisfaction. You did better than that,
particularly in wiring in a switch between shore power/generator
and inverter with further wiring to reduce inverter
to systems it could handle (microwave, etc.). Furthermore,
you installed an extra skin fitting with pipework at
no extra cost. As far as I can see, the work
was done better than if the boat had been ordered with
the extras fitted.”
Mr David Watson – Atlantic 39
(Mar 2008)
“Can
I thank you and your company for the excellent service
and the skill of your guys fitting my generator.
The fitting went like clockwork as promised and I
am very pleased with the result. The work was completed
to a high standard by helpful and cheerful staff.
They went out of their way to stay behind to show
me all the controls and the operation of the generator
and I would gladly recommend your company to others.”

‘One
of the best special equipment installers I have come
across in over 50 years of sailing. If the product
is as good in service I will be well pleased.’

"Within
just a few minutes of meeting any of the team at
Advance Yacht Systems, you realise that you have
come to the right people. Their professional and
friendly approach combined with a thorough knowledge
of their products ensured that I purchased the right
equipment for my boat. Labelling hose and electrcal
connections on the Paguro generator that I purchased
was a nice touch and greatly assisted me during self
installation. The Paguro itself has proven to be
everything that Advance Yacht Systems said it would.
With over four months daily use on a commercial vessel,
it has remained one hundred percent reliable."

‘After
much research on the net and Southampton Boat Show I
decided on a Paguro 4000 genset and Dessalator watermaker.
As my yacht (Amokura) is an old classic, space for this
equipment was difficult and needed to be hidden away.
Advance Yacht Systems reassured me that they could install
the equipment within the constraints and to a professional
standard. This is exactly what they have done –
very happy punter.’
Mr P Phillips – 51’ Classic
(Jun 2007)
Thank
you for installing our new generator so well. I am
delighted with the finished product. In a business
where poor customer service, scant information, disregarded
schedules and sloppy and untidy work is so often
encountered it was heartening to find a Company that
operates as professionally as yours. You provided
a comprehensive and meaningful quotation and pre-installation
service, kept to all schedules, didn’t find
any hidden extras to charge me for, and carried-out
the installation efficiently and tidily. I have no
hesitation in recommending you.
Ted Kay - Stevens 1200 Dutch Steel Cruiser ‘Corvus’

‘The
quality of communication, customer service and workmanship
from Advance Yacht Systems was some of the best I have
ever received. I would not hesitate to recommend you
to others or to use you again’.

excellent generator backed up with knowledge and friendly
advice on self installation’
Mr Peter Jones – Feeling 446

‘From
my first contact at the boatshow through subsequent
visits to Saxon Wharf, phone calls and emails, I
have been helped by all the friendly, knowledgeable
team. All of whom went out of their way to help me
make the right decision and a good installation.’
Mr Christopher Glenn – Rival 41

the outset all the staff have been extremely professional

‘Excellent
at all times. Advance Yacht Systems are very professional,
in production, installations and after sales service.
A great team.’
Mr John Heal – Sunbeam 44
(Mar 2007)
‘May we take this opportunity to thank Rod and
Wayne for an excellent job carried out with care and
precision. We stayed on for a few days to test things out and clean up the boat,
neither of which was particularly necessary as things were left in such a good
state. They were a pleasure to have on board and their approach
to the job bodes well for the continued success of
Advance Yacht.’
Mr Barry Panton – Island Packet 445
( Mar 2007)
‘The
Installation and fitting out of my Paguro 3000 Compact
Generator and Dessalator D60 Cruise AC Watermaker was
faultless and very professionally carried out by a
team of intelligent and thoughtful people. Great care
was taken to avoid any damage to the boat, with dust
sheets used extensively. Both Pieces of equipment were
sited making the best use of available space, but at
the same time ensuring easy access for maintenance.
All pipes, electrical connections and through hull
fittings were carefully and discretely routed after
full consultation with me. The level of after sales
service is excellent and I certainly could not have
done the work myself.’
Mr Edward Loden – Dehler 41DS
(Mar 2007)
'I
am very pleased with the purchase from initial meeting
to delivery, subsequent fitting and running. The
generator started at first push of the button and
has run for the last 6 months, twice daily, having
only pulled into ports twice. Taste check – gave
friends a glass of water from the watermaker and
a glass from a purchased bottle. They could not tell
any difference!'

'The
installation of my watermaker and washing machine is
superb. The utilisation of space is most welcome and
the standard of finishing is exemplary, well done and
full marks to Advance Yacht, I would have no hesitation
in recommending you.'
Mr G Stollard - Island Packet 420
'I'd
like to thank you and your team for the way you carried
out the installation of the generator. It is a very
neat and tidy job in all respects and one really wouldn't
know that it is a recent fitting. I'm pleased to say
that so far the generator has performed perfectly and
makes a huge difference to the way we use Happy Apple.
I would be pleased to give a reference as to the attention
to detail and quality of service that the team at AYS
Ltd provide.'
