Love Your Boat’s Refrigeration, Again

 

You have a beautiful boat, full of all you need to make life onboard fun and easy. A properly working refrigeration system is key to that pleasure. Is it time to upgrade it, perhaps install a refrigerator cabinet, freezer drawer unit, or dedicated drinks fridge? Time to replace that ice box or gnarly looking plastic thing that has yet to keep your beer cold enough or ice cream frozen. Coastal Climate Control can help – our Vitrifrigo and Frigoboat cabinets and drawer units are in stock and on sale this month.
