Our partners
Raymarine
The marine electronics behind our helm. Raymarine builds the chartplotters, radar, autopilots and instruments that help boaters find their way, see what’s around them and get home safely.
Raymarine is one of our partners, and Captain Rick is a Raymarine ambassador. This page is our own short summary of raymarine.com.
Who they are
A Teledyne company
Raymarine is part of Teledyne. In the US it operates as Teledyne FLIR Maritime, based in Hudson, New Hampshire, and its gear is sold and supported through a network of dealers.
Who it’s built for
Anglers inshore, offshore and on fresh water, cruising and racing sailors, motorboat owners, boat builders, commercial crews and first responders.
What they’re saying right now
Their homepage leads with “Earn Your Strikes”, a campaign for the boater who keeps pushing on when others turn for home. Right alongside it, they announce that the new Axiom 2 chartplotters are now available.
Their recent news also includes a compact marine IP camera, the CAM400 (September 2026), and a five-year partnership with the RNLI, the UK’s lifeboat charity (July 2026).
