Air Conditioners for Boats

Here are Fishreports.net and Boatersworld, we offer over 30 different types of boat air conditioners.

Like boat cabin heaters, boat air conditioning technology has also advanced.

The most popular technology for air conditioning large water craft is to use below water line pumps to pull in cool seawater and circulate cool water through piping.

Fans blow air over the cool pipes and transfer the cool air through cabin spaces. There are portable air conditioning units available for smaller water craft that use traditional compressors and chemical coolants to achieve cabin cooling.

Portable systems have capacities of over 7,000 btu’s.

Cabin duct kits are available for modernizing or refurbishing older yachts.

Manufacturers include transition boxes (plenums), insulated duct hose, and adaptors in these kits.

Modern materials allow for reliable performance and relatively low maintenance costs.
