Brian Favre

Chief Electronics Advisor

Brian grew up on the East Coast, where his family always kept a boat, fostering a lifelong connection to the water and marine life.

He married his girlfriend who happened to be his next door neighbor, building a strong family rooted in their shared community. Together, they raised two amazing kids, both of whom now proudly serve in the military.

With over 25 years in the marine electronics field, Brian has established himself as a highly skilled professional. He holds prestigious certifications including Airmar Certified, NMEA Advanced MEI, standard MEI, Advanced NMEA 2000, and extensive training from most major manufacturers. His expertise ensures reliable installation, troubleshooting, and integration of cutting-edge navigation, communication, and electronics systems on vessels up and down the coast.

Whether on the water as a kid or keeping boats connected today, Brian’s life reflects a deep passion for the sea and the technology that makes it safer and more enjoyable.

Raised in Cape May, New Jersey, I developed an obsession with the outdoors from an early age. In my free time, you’ll find me either on a boat chasing the next bite or settled in a tree stand during hunting season. Working on boats is my true passion—I bring the knowledge and hands-on experience from his coastal upbringing and lifelong time on the water to every job.

This background gives him special insight into the marine industry, allowing me to deliver clean, functional, and reliable electronics installations that perform exactly as boaters need them to.
