Why Buttercup Marine

I was drawn to the sea, boats, and all things electrical at an early age. Yes, I know, it is unusual for a woman to be running a marine electrical company, but my life coalesced this way and the stars aligned so that I can do what I truly enjoy. I think it is fun and challenging.

A five year tour with the US Coast Guard as a Marine Inspector after graduating from the USCG academy provided a strong background for knowing how a ship must be maintained for true seaworthiness. A BS in Naval Architecture (USCG) and a Masters in Environmental Engineering combined with years of on the water experience allowed me to obtain my 100 ton Masters license as well. The foundation was laid for Buttercup Marine, named after my first sail boat that I spent a year and half cruising on.

Buttercup Marine builds meticulous electrical systems for motor and sailing yachts. Our attention to detail is driven by decades of practical and formal training. "How would I want my boat wired" is the creed we use to drive our work ethic. Buttercup Marine designs the right solutions, builds the system with attention to detail, every wire is professionally labeled, and we document our work. If you are looking for a better marine electrical system, contact me and let's talk.
