Comfort and Control: The Evolution Of Onboard Systems For Bluewater Cruisers
Why seamless integration and reliability matter more than ever for today’s serious sailors
Yachting is about more than just reaching your destination - it’s about enjoying every mile along the way. For bluewater cruisers and coastal adventurers alike, comfort, reliability, and ease of use are the true essentials. We see first-hand how the right onboard systems can transform the cruising experience, whether you’re preparing for an Atlantic crossing or planning a summer of UK coastal exploration.
The Modern Cruiser’s Wishlist
Today’s yacht owners expect more from their boats. They want air conditioning that keeps cabins cool and quiet, watermakers that deliver fresh water at the touch of a button, and power systems that just work, no matter how far from shore they roam. But it’s not just about the hardware; it’s about integration, support, and peace of mind.
Making Systems Work Together
Gone are the days of piecemeal upgrades and mismatched equipment. The latest marine generators, air conditioning and power management systems are designed to work in harmony, delivering seamless operation and maximum comfort. For example:
Frigomar Air Conditioning: Award-winning inverter technology means silent, efficient cooling without peak start loads - perfect for quiet anchorages or overnight passages
Paguro Generators: Compact, quiet, and powerful enough to run multiple systems at once, these generators are a favourite for those who value simplicity and reliability
Dessalator Watermakers: Trusted by leading boatbuilders, these units provide fresh water wherever you cruise, with minimal fuss and proven durability
Reliability: Built for Real-World Cruising
When you’re hundreds of miles from the nearest marina, reliability isn’t optional. That’s why Advance Yacht Systems only supplies products from established manufacturers known for their quality and support. Our equipment is chosen for its robust construction, ease of maintenance, and proven track record - trusted by major boatbuilders worldwide.
Support: Expertise You Can Rely On
Our commitment doesn’t end at the point of sale. We back every installation with technical support, spares, and even remote troubleshooting; whether you’re in the Solent or the South Pacific. We also offer installer training and comprehensive manuals & guides, ensuring that every system is installed and maintained to the highest standards.
“Aftersales support – satellite calls from blue water cruisers in the Pacific are not untypical – and parts supply with our website optimised to attract enquiries internationally as well as the UK.” (https://www.britishmarine.co.uk/resources/member-features/member-feature-backing-right-horses)
Spotlight: The Remoran EasyLift—Innovation in Action
One great example of user-focused innovation is the Remoran EasyLift mounting system. Designed for the Remoran Wave 3 Hydrogenerators, EasyLift lets sailors deploy and retrieve their hydrogenerator safely from the deck—even at speeds up to 10 knots. It’s especially valuable for classic yachts and boats without swim platforms, offering simple angle adjustment and weed removal without risky manoeuvres

Integration, reliability, and expert support are the key aspects of worry-free cruising.
