Marine refrigeration & watermaker Services, Installation & custom fabrication
When it comes to yacht maintenance and cruising, reliable refrigeration and watermakers aren’t optional — they’re essential. At Gillen Yacht Services, we specialize in custom refrigeration solutions and watermaker installation, service, and repair for South Florida vessels of all sizes.
Marine Refrigeration Design, Custom Fabrication & Service – Your Frigibar Experts in South Florida
Gillen Yacht Services is an authorized dealer for Frigibar — the standard in marine refrigeration. For new builds, upgrades, or service on a Frigibar unit, our team knows this equipment inside and out. Frigibar’s quality is why they are our featured refrigeration partner, and why owners across South Florida trust us to spec and install them.
Refrigeration defines the onboard experience, and great systems require precision. Our experts offer custom design and fabrication built around the layout and needs of your vessel — converting unused space, maximizing cold storage, and integrating solutions that look original.
At GYS, custom fabrication is our specialty. Whether working with Frigibar or Frigomar equipment, we engineer refrigeration solutions that fit your vessel’s space, power profile, and aesthetic.
Popular custom refrigeration solutions include:
Custom refrigerators and freezers
Ice makers and ice chippers
Locker conversions to maximize cold storage
Custom refrigeration using Frigibar and Frigomar
Whether you need routine maintenance or a new design, we deliver results that meet your standards and hold up on the water.
Watermaker Installation, Service & Maintenance Parker Watermakers: Precision Engineering for Serious Cruising
For vessels where freshwater independence is a requirement, Parker Watermakers set a high bar — and Gillen Yacht Services is an authorized Parker dealer and service provider. Parker’s reverse osmosis systems are built for offshore reliability, and our technicians are factory-trained to install, commission, and service them properly. When you invest in a Parker system, you want it installed by experts who know the platform.
Watermakers are standard equipment on any vessel cruising offshore, and the Caribbean circuit puts real demands on these systems. From routine membrane service to full system installations, we keep your water production running reliably whether you’re in Fort Lauderdale or at anchor in the Exumas.
In addition to Parker, we are authorized dealers for Sea Recovery and Schenker Watermakers — allowing us to spec the right system for your vessel’s size, output, and power budget.
