Independent AV/IT engineer for yachts

AV/IT that works for the people onboard

I’m Oleksii Subota. I repair, install and refit yacht AV/IT systems, with particular attention to how guests and crew use them every day.

One job might be a stubborn fault; another might be cabin automation, a CCTV server or mounting Starlink. I work directly with Chief Engineers and Captains on the systems they need to run.

For Chief Engineers and Captains

Technology should be easier to use

A system can work technically and still make everyday tasks harder. I pay attention to the controls people touch, the steps the crew repeats and the way connected systems behave together.

For example, I placed CCTV viewing tablets where crew could see when guests had finished a course and time the next service. With cabin controls, I think about button size and clear icons as well as the wiring behind them.

  • Clear controls for guests and crew.
  • Practical connections between systems already onboard.
  • Repairs checked where people actually use the service.

How I work

I carry out the work, check it from the crew’s perspective and leave the instructions or system information the job needs.
