A BIT ABOUT US
Pine Harbour Electrical was established in 2003. We’ve gained some great clients over the years, and, in fact, about 75% have been with us since the start.
WHAT WE DO
We offer sales, installation, servicing and repairs — a complete package. We are also certified dealers of major marine electronic brands like SIMRAD, Furuno, Garmin and B & G. For more information visit our products & services page.
Our customers include Pine Harbour Ferries, which runs from Pine Harbour to Great Barrier and Waiheke Islands, and several extensively fitted out sea surveying vessels.
A MATTER OF TRUST
Many people work their entire lives to own a boat — it’s their dream. And we are aware of the trust given to us.
Our clients appreciate our clean and tidy work practices and that their boats are returned as we found them. Most of all, they appreciate our open and honest communication — if there’s a problem, we let them know.

All of us are passionate about boating, including fishing, yachting and diving. And we apply our general on-the-water experience to our business.
