ABOUT US
ROBERT BLOOD JR, Yacht Services & Electric Yacht Conversions since 1995
As a proud boat owner, I understand that each and every boat, old or new, is someone’s pride and joy. Electric boat conversions isn’t just a job for me. I love what I do because I’m making a difference both in people’s lives and by making our world a little bit greener, boat by boat.
There are many reasons for boat owners to go electric - like being silent, clean, economical and practically maintenance free.
Whether you own a yacht or a launch, sail or power, you and your vessel will be treated with care and respect. I explain your new electric drive system in detail so you have an excellent understanding of how things work after installation. I take every client call - before, during and after installation.
Every boat is unique, as is every conversion. Hiring the right electric marine technician is the first step to a successful project.
Certifications & Experience
I am an American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) certified marine electrician and also skilled in fiberglass, driveline work and light fabrication in metal and wood thanks to the years I spent at Wilbur Yachts of Southwest Harbor, ME, and with Louie Sauzzedde in RI.
I am currently based in Maryland and do a lot of work in Annapolis and the surrounding area. I both install and consult on electric drive conversions across the country, from the Mississippi River to the Eastern Seaboard. I’ve now converted dozens of launches and sailboats from 18’ to 45’.
Until now, all my work has been word of mouth from my customers and referrals from drive manufacturers like Electric Yacht, and drive suppliers like Annapolis Hybrid Marine and Electric Marina, who know the quality of my work.
Now that I’m online with a new website, I hope to help even more boat owners go green, clean and silent.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Sincerely,
Bob Blood
“Good morning Bob!
We are up having coffee and discussing yesterday’s regatta. We won the first race! I should mention we did not turn on the electric motor during the race haha :-). We had such good wind, we weren’t even tempted! It was very exciting and we are sore but happy. Anyway, she is a joy to sail, and we will always be grateful to you for the work you did. The quality of our sailing life went up dramatically, thanks to you.”
“I’ve now used Bob Blood for all my electric issues and a conversion on two different boats. His knowledge and experience are unsurpassed in the technical aspects of electric propulsion. And he’s is completely reasonably priced for the high quality of work he does. ”
