Watts Technical Services
Watts Technical Services Ltd delivers independent technical expertise to the superyacht sector, supporting owners, captains, management companies, and onboard engineering teams.
Founded by an experienced Electro-Technical Officer with extensive operational history aboard large private yachts, the company provides practical engineering support and consultancy without the overhead of permanent shore-based resources.
The company manages projects through every phase, handling technical consultations, specification development, procurement support, contractor coordination, and remote project management. Working alongside existing crew, shipyards, and contractors, Watts Technical Services assists with commissioning, documentation, and ongoing troubleshooting to ensure systems meet high professional standards.
For yachts operating without a full-time ETO onboard, the company provides a dedicated remote ETO support service. This includes remote troubleshooting, electrical and AVIT systems support, network administration, communications assistance, preventative maintenance planning, and technical guidance for the onboard crew.
Operating with complete vendor neutrality, Watts Technical Services bases recommendations solely on operational requirements and long-term reliability. The company covers a broad range of specialized areas, including:
- Audio Visual & IT (AVIT) systems
- Enterprise and yacht networking, including Wi-Fi design and optimization
- Satellite communications, onboard connectivity, navigation, and communication systems
- Marine electrical systems and cybersecurity best practices
- Refit planning, coordination, technical documentation, and system standardization
