I recently needed to find someone to upgrade my stereo system on my boat. I had already dealt with two local companies who fell short on my needs and expectations. I google searched to find someone who could help me with my needs and chose Upgrade Marine. In the end Brian and Justin fulfilled my wishes and I am very happy with the results. One big thing compared to others, they keep you in the loop and listen to your input where other companies fell short.

I called several weeks ago, after we purchased our first boat. The gentleman I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. He told me that someone would call me back to schedule an appointment on our boat to go over the electrical system. I thought that was amazing! I sent over pictures of our current set up and waited.... I thought maybe I got lost in the holiday craziness, so I called back. I was told again that someone would call me back. I have not received a call, nor the promised appointment. I am disappointed since the reviews were all fabulous and I was looking forward to learning more about our boat. I hope you get a better response than we did.

I highly recommend Upgrade Marine!They did a first class solar installation! We are very pleased. The system looks great and the solar power generation makes us self sufficient.Adding solar to a sailboat may be the best upgrade ever. Brian and his team exceeded expectations!!Thank you!

Justin solved a silly problem on my Siren Marine alarm system that Shelter Island Marine Electronics dodged for 18 months. Upgrade Marine is the right choice in San Diego!

Been working with Brian for several years, getting my Dufour ready to cruise full time, he and his crew are by far the best at what they do, upgrading boats!

I recently had Brian and Upgrade Marine install a new Lithium Ion based "House" battery system and Inverter on my boat. I also supplemented this with two flexible/removable 170w solar panels that will allow me to charge the system when at anchor. My AC demand can now be met through shore power, battery bank, solar, or my genset. It's too soon to judge how long I can go without running the genset, but it may be a couple of days or more. The quality of the installation was top notch as you can see in the included photos. One of the photos is of the live system performance display. There is also an App that I have not loaded yet.

We called several recommended companies with no success. When we spoke to Upgrade Marine, they came out the next day to do an inspection and installed the following week. Fast excellent service. I highly recommend giving them a call.

Very poor follow through. I tried to get in contact with UM’s owner to discuss upgrades to the system they had previously had installed but no one returned my calls. Their receptionist was very unhelpful and defensive instead of helpful. I was finally told to find a new Electrican. It was a simple situation which could have addressed by even minimal customer attention.

I own a Jeanneau sail boat and recently had Upgrade Marine, assess (what type of solar system is best for my use) and install a flexible solar panel. It was a flawless process and I could not be happier with the installation on my Bimini, wiring and mobile data readout. This is the third time I have worked with Upgrade and highly recommend the team. Everyone is quite knowledgeable, which was a big help in selecting the right solar system for my boat.

I recently used Upgrade Marine to purchase and install all new electronics for my 34’ sport fisher. Brian and his team have great pricing on electronics and the install went flawlessly. They were on time and professional. Their pricing was fair and competitive. They completed the installation with rarely seen expertise and efficiency. The whole experience with Upgrade Marine, from my initial contact to completion was very positive and impressive. They have the knowledge and skill to get the job done right. I highly recommend them for all marine electronic issues and product pricing. Upgrade Marine has earned my trust and my business. Special thanks to Justin, Grace & Tucker, and the whole team at Upgrade Marine.

Before leaving SD a year and a half ago we had Upgrade Marine install a water maker, generator and solar panels. Their service and installation was very professional and the systems have proven to be high quality. We’ve been cruising in Mexico and very dependent on the Upggrade Marine systems - their reliability provide great peace of mind while we’re of the grid. Service after sales is top notch. You can depend on Brian to make sure you have a quality experience. These are the guys in San Diego!

I brought my sprinter van to Upgrade Marine to finish out the build/most difficult part (the electrical) and Brian and his crew nailed it!!!!! They did an amazing job and I couldn't be more HAPPY. They know their stuff and they do excellent work. I am so glad that I found Upgrade Marine, I am ready to start my next build and I will be bringing that van to them too.

I ordered a Victron Battery Charger from Upgrade Marine in San Diego and their price was significantly lower that the same charger in Long Beach. I had a couple self inflicted difficulties wiring it up correctly but Brian responded to my emailed questions and I wired it correctly and it works. Much apprecitated his support.
