Quality product -AIS Glomex aerial

Quality product -AIS Glomex aerial, with tailored cable to fit all at a reasonable price - even a length of solder and a bit of heat shrink enclosed!
The additional personal touch from the owner sending an email to say the product was on it's way was nice.

Great service from Aves Marine

A very positive experience with Alan from Aves Marine. Clearly very knowledgeable about his product and willing to spend as long as it took answering questions etc. so I would thoroughly recommend . Haven´t used the chartplotter yet but have high hopes that it will live up to expectations but aftersales looks really good.

Onwa KAPP-866 Autopilot

For some years now I have an Onwa KAPP-866 autopilot on board of my 60 ft sailing yacht (based in Holland) that was in need of
a soft-ware update. Alan from Aves Marine has given me great support and all is working fine again. Thank you very much.

Very quick response

Very quick response . Had an answer the same day and received suggestions conserning the cables . programming AIS data was free and delivery to Belgium was even a day earlier as expected .

AIS chart plotter works as expected , however a navionics chart makes it better. But this I knew already before the purchase

Thank you

A great experience!

As a US consumer, I was a little hesitant to buy a product built by company in Hong Kong from a dealer in the UK. I am pleased to report that those concerns were unfounded. My ONWA 12" plotter has been working great for years now, and the support from Aves Marine has been stellar.

Superb Service

I bought a K1299X from Alan. Having had fitted it was struck by lightning before I had a chance to use it. Alan went all out to have the problem fixed.
The box is working perfectly now. The device does exactly what it says " says on the tin".
I highly recommend Onwa and Aves Marine.

Aves Marine. Service Par Excellence

Over the last year I have been looking at ONWA chart plotters. I'm in Australia, Aves Marine are in the UK. I have contacted the local dealer who has told me he isn't actually on top of his product. I have spoken with the the manufacturer, in HK, another Chinese company who feels that they don't need to have someone who can discuss their product in English. I have repeatedly gone to Allen who has repeatedly given great helpful advice and who CLEARLY knows the product he sells. If you're in the UK and want an ONWA you're bloody lucky to have him to deal with.

Very helpful company

Very helpful company. Rang me when I was unsure how to complete my order for an AIS aerial kit. Explained in detail how it should be fitted and the advantages of the product. Will use then again.

Thank you Bart, your review is much appreciated.
Re' the built in charts: in some areas they can lack detail - I have noted that for Belgium this is the case and in future I will advise other buyers intending to use the plotters in that region. Thank you for the chart feedback which is valuable information that I pass to Onwa - it may result in an eventual improvement in the chart.
