D&F Nautic Solutions installs, upgrades and troubleshoots the electronic systems of motor and sailing yachts: bridge, networks, connectivity and entertainment. Based in Nice, I work across the Mediterranean and beyond.
Navigation systems, IT networks and AV are now interconnected. I handle them together, with an overall view of the vessel.
Bridge, sensors and communications, from installation to commissioning.
Reliable internet at sea and in port, and a secure network on board.
Entertainment and control systems that are easy for crew and guests to use.
Equipment selection, cabling, configuration and commissioning, with clear documentation.
Replacing obsolete equipment and modernising networks during yard periods.
Methodical fault-finding on navigation, network or AV systems, in port or on passage.
Remote access and monitoring of onboard systems, wherever the vessel is.
NMEA diagrams, network maps and up-to-date equipment inventories for the crew.
Independent advice to choose the right solutions before investing.
Installation, configuration and troubleshooting on the most widely used onboard equipment.

I cover the whole French Riviera and the south of France, and travel regularly to follow my clients' vessels.
Antibes, Cannes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez and the whole south of France.
And remotely, anywhere in the world.
I founded D&F Nautic Solutions in 2004. For more than twenty years I have worked on board yachts across the three pillars of onboard electronics: navigation, IT and audio-visual.
How I work: understand the installation as a whole, work cleanly, document what was done, and stay reachable for the crew afterwards.
