While Atlantic Marine Electronic design, engineering, technical and craftsmen/installation teams have collectively worked on hundreds of projects, we remember and take pride in each and every one. From concept to finished product, each project is a labor of love and a reflection of our drive to create the ideal boating experience for each client.

The Viking 72 project is just one example of how AME never compromises on design and workmanship no matter the project, the boat or its port of call. Ultimately, it’s the opinion of the owner that matters most as AME is equally defined by our customer service as much as our design and installation expertise:

“We fish tournaments all year long from New Jersey, to the Carolinas, to Florida, in the Gulf, Mexico, the Bahamas and Cabo and we need good systems that work wherever we go. AME delivers excellent installations that excel in the marine environment like communication equipment to keep in touch with the factory, or when guests aboard need to contact home.”
– Captain Ryan Higgins, Viking 72

Flawless functionality and performance, extreme durability, elegant design and best-in- class components are the hallmark of every project that we complete. It’s that partnership with owners that ensures that they will forever become part of the AME family.
