Bow Thrusters

Manoeuvre with Confidence

A bow thruster transforms the handling of your vessel in tight marinas, strong winds and challenging conditions. As authorised Vetus Maxwell dealers, we supply the full range of bow and stern thrusters, winches and associated electrical systems.

Installation requires both shipwright and electrical expertise — we handle both. We cut the tunnel, install the unit, run all cabling, fit the control systems and commission the completed installation. All work is done to the highest standard with full documentation.

We'll advise you on the right thruster size and specification for your vessel before any work begins.
