Marine Joystick Control
In 1996, our chief engineer, Thomas Serrao, was approached by The Hinckley Company to engineer and build a joystick control system for their renowned Picnic Boat™. Within one year, Tom invented the Jetstick™, bringing owner Shepard McKenney’s vision to life. Since that time, we have meticulously designed and built control systems for a multitude of private yachts and commercial vessels. Notable examples include the L3Harris research vessel in San Diego, CA, and Stealth Yachts water taxi, serving tourists in the picturesque Maldives. Whether your vessel sees daily operation or is reserved for seasonal enjoyment, we are committed to providing you with a dependable and trustworthy control system, ensuring peace of mind for all your maritime adventures.
