A Marine Calorifier is a simple and efficient means of storing hot water, making it readily available, whether that’s in the shower, galley, or washbasin. As a result, it ensures a steady supply of hot water while you’re on board.

Our range of hot water boat tanks is designed to supply a constant supply of hot water from multiple heat sources, all within a small form factor. In addition, they are built to withstand the unique challenges of marine environments.

Durable Construction: We use thicker copper as standard. This means they are better equipped to handle high pressure and are built to last. Every bespoke boat unit has excellent pressure resistance and long-term reliability, ideal for demanding marine environments.

Flexible Orientation: Choose between horizontal or vertical designs to suit your available space and layout.

High-Efficiency Coils: Our finned copper coils deliver fast, efficient heat transfer, optimised for both boiler and engine circuits.

Available in 28 – 40 Litres

Ideal for:

  • Yachts and narrowboats
  • Offshore support vessels
  • Houseboats and liveaboards
  • Commercial marine applications

FAQs

A marine calorifier stores hot water in your boat’s domestic system so it’s ready to use at the shower, taps, or galley. It ensures a steady supply of hot water while you’re on board.

Direct Heating: Uses an internal immersion heater powered by the boat’s electrical system or solar PV to heat the water.

Indirect Heating: Uses a coil inside the calorifier to transfer heat from the boat’s engine or external boiler.

Twin Coils: These allow two heat sources (e.g. engine + boiler) to work in tandem, improving efficiency and reliability.

Installing a calorifier unit is relatively straightforward if your boat has a pressurised water system and space near the engine. It can be heated via the engine or shore power immersion heater. Read more here.
