Testimonials

Here’s what some of our customers are saying about Alcom:

August 2023

I have engaged Alcom Marine Communications of Costa Mesa, CA on a multitude of projects since 2010.  No matter what the project involves, from rebuilding a B&G anemometer, to a complete navigation system refit; Alcom Marine has consistently supported my yacht with a high level of integrity and professionalism.  When a sticky wicket arises, I can count on Alcom Marine to take a proper position, even when their suppliers at first response don’t have a proper support.  Modern marine instrumentation systems are complicated and hardware performance today isn’t always what is advertised.  “Plug and play” can be difficult to achieve in today’s market place. 

I sail with three generations of family aboard our yacht with peace of mind knowing Alcom has supported our yacht’s navigation and instrumentation systems.  Reliable marine navigation system is a safety function.

I respect integrity foremost in my business relationships; the Alcom team, in turn, has earned my respect.  Alcom has earned a “welcome aboard” our family’s yacht.

And a happy Independence to you!  Susan and myself just returned from a long weekend at Two Harbors.  We encountered fog on the crossing back.  Sure was nice to have the Raymarine chart plotter and color radar.  The system is awesome!

I wanted to tell you and your Alcom team about the job you did on my boat last week. As you know you upgraded my radar system on my 15 year old boat.  I do most of the electrical and other handyman work on my boat and it is in pretty good shape.  I know what to do and what I see is the right way to get things on a boat.

You assigned my radar/MFD upgrade/install to Danny.   There were things the previous people did that weren’t great, and Danny made sure it was fixed properly.  I inspected some of the wiring after Danny was done and it was terrific in terms of expertise, result and professionalism.

I just wanted you to know I was very impressed with Danny’s work.  A true pro.  Thanks.

Thank you for the TLC with DeMar’s KVH Satellite TV upgrade as my wife really enjoyed her quality time on the marine DirecTV Grid over the past weekend at Basin Marine while in exile from the NHYC mooring field.  I hope you enjoy the warm Spring weather with Team Alcom.  In closing, Bill is a great technician as hopefully his demeanor with Alcom Marine customers builds “Raving Fans” as he’s the best on the water.

I started a project to upgrade the Electronics on Tunacious Too. It was a lot of work removing the old system, pulling out old cables and then re-installing all new. Its work I enjoy. I bought the system from Gary at Alcom Marine. Jesse, from Alcom helped with the initial startup. He was a Godsend. I got help with the dash panel, is acrylic with Carbon Fiber wrap. A friend Brice made the template and Kevin at KD Fab cut it out on his CNC machine. Again, great work. The system is: 2- Furuno TZTF2 with 12″ MFD, NXT Radar, PG 700 heading sensor, NMEA 2000 converter. It all talks to the VHF radio and Simrad AP. I cannot wait for fishing season to start.

The installation of our new Simrad S5100 High Chirp fish finder along with the Simrad Evo 2, radio and Radar could not have been any better. The tech – Jeremy – was quick but thorough, clean and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions in great detail and took extra time to teach up how to use our Simrad equipment . Jeremy did a fantastic job with getting us prepared for the upcoming off shore fishing season and was extremely knowledgeable about the gear. I would highly recommend him and Alcom Marine Electronics. These folks do a professional installation, give good recommendations, and really know their stuff. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

He answered all my questions in great detail. Robert Kinney put together the perfect package for my boat AND at a great price.

We are grateful to be part of the Alcom family. This story started 11 years ago when we bought Nordhavn 57 #37. Lucky for us Nordhavn recommended Robert for our electronics. Robert and the Alcom team did all our work.
No Plans has been in 23 countries and traveled 35,000 miles. Alcom has always been there for us. Whether we were in the Mediterranean and called for help or in Hawaii and needed a new battery in our satellite compass.
Thank you all, for making our cruising life easier.

I have been utilizing Alcom Marine Electronics for almost 15 years. My experience has always been great. These folks do a professional installation, give good recommendations, and really know their stuff. Plus, usually when you call them, they will be out at your boat within a relatively short time. I have had them install three generations of Raymarine gear on my Sea Ray over 15 years and each time the installation has been perfect, on-time, and within the cost estimate provided. I have nothing but good things to say about Alcom.

The guys at Alcom Marine are great! My wife and I were nervous about putting h*les in the boat so it was important for us to find a reputable electronics installer. We chose Alcom because they’re a Raymarine premier dealer and NMEA master dealer. Originally, I was a little put off by their website because they only show large mega yachts that they have commissioned (compared to my small 26’ boat) but Robert and his guys were very helpful and professional. Their prices are very competitive compared to places you’d find online and these guys are a wealth of knowledge if you need guidance for your dream electronics package. For my boat, I got a Raymarine e125 MFD with a CP100 Chirp/Downvision sonar and a Standard Horizon VHF with AIS interface to the MFD. I had the installation done at my shipyard as I was having bottom paint put on the boat and the transducer had to be installed at the shipyard. The Alcom guys showed up promptly and they finished up installation right on time, as promised (this was important as my boat was going to launched the following day). The guys were meticulous during the install as they are used to installing anything from fish finders to marine satellite TVs. The overall result is a clean install of my electronics that I can depend on for many years to come. All in all, I’m very happy with my new electronics and would highly recommend Alcom Marine. Thanks!

I have been dealing with Alcom for many years. The staff is great at recommending what you need and how it will fit within your budget and your helm. Their techs do a great job explaining how everything works. Their installations are clean and they stand behind their work.
