Marine audio that stays discreet for guests and dependable through charter season.
We design marine-grade systems for Adriatic yachts, so every zone feels right from breakfast service to sunset cocktails and the crew stays out of troubleshooting mode all season.

Cosmic Production designs marine-grade audio systems for yachts operating in the Adriatic, from permanent multi-zone installations to temporary charter-event setups. Based in Split since 2016, we install at marinas from Dubrovnik to Pula and work around shore-power limits, salt exposure, guest comfort, and low-friction operation for the crew.

The best yacht system disappears into the vessel
On a yacht, every visible detail competes with the design. Speaker grilles, loose cabling, or bulky racks immediately pull the space away from the standard guests expect. Our installations disappear into the vessel instead: flush-mounted speakers, concealed low-end support, and control that lives on a phone or tablet rather than across the walls.
The result is a system that supports breakfast service, deck drinks, and private evenings without asking the crew to babysit the technology.
What marine environments demand from the system
Salt, vibration, sun, power budgets, and tight joinery all change what good audio looks like at sea.
Salt and humidity
Salt spray corrodes standard speaker terminals, connectors, and amplifier circuits within a single season. We use marine-grade stainless steel hardware, conformal-coated PCBs, and sealed enclosures rated for continuous salt exposure.
Power budgets
Shore power is typically limited to 16A (3,680W) shared across all onboard systems. Our installations use high-efficiency Class D amplification, drawing minimal power while delivering full output. We calculate power budgets before specifying any system.
Space pressure
Every centimeter on a yacht has a purpose. We use flush-mount and compact form-factor speakers, concealed amplifiers integrated into existing equipment bays, and single-cable digital distribution to minimize physical footprint.
Vibration and motion
Engine vibration and sea motion stress conventional mounts and loosen connections. We use marine-grade isolation mounts, positive-locking connectors, and shock-resistant amplifier enclosures designed for continuous motion.
Discreet integration
Yacht interiors are designed by architects, not audio engineers. Our installations follow existing design language — speaker grilles matched to ceiling trim, cable routing through existing conduit paths, and invisible hardware throughout.
UV and weather exposure
Deck and flybridge speakers face direct sun, rain, and temperature extremes. We specify UV-resistant enclosures with marine-grade driver cones that maintain performance across -10 to 60 degrees Celsius without degradation.
Why marine-spec still matters
| Factor | Standard Land System | Marine-Spec Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Connector Type | Standard XLR/RCA — corrodes in 3-6 months | Sealed marine connectors with positive lock |
| Speaker Enclosure | MDF cabinet — swells and warps with humidity | UV-resistant polymer or marine-grade composite |
| Mounting | Standard brackets — loosen with vibration | Isolation mounts with vibration damping |
| Power Draw | 1,000-3,000W — exceeds shore power budgets | 200-600W Class D — fits within 16A limits |
| Electronics Coating | None — circuit boards corrode in salt air | Conformal coating on all PCBs |
| Expected Lifespan | 6-18 months in marine environment | 5-10+ years with annual service |
Zones that feel right from salon to sundeck
Breakfast in the salon, cocktails on deck, late music on the flybridge, and quieter cabins all ask for different levels and a different feel. We design every zone to sound right on its own while staying simple to control from one interface.
- Marine-rated, salt-resistant components
- Shore power and generator compatible (16A optimized)
- Independent zone control (salon, deck, flybridge, cabins)
- Vibration-isolated, motion-secure mounting
- Wireless iPad/phone control for all zones

Temporary systems for charters and deck events
For launch parties, sunset dinners, charter occasions, and deck events, we provide portable marine-suitable systems that install quickly and leave no permanent trace. The goal is simple: the yacht feels ready for the event without turning setup into a project of its own.
- Battery-powered options — no shore power required
- Install in under one hour, remove without trace
- Marina delivery at any Croatian ACI port
- DJ-ready systems with full production support

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes yacht audio installations different from land-based systems?
Yacht audio must withstand salt air corrosion, constant humidity, engine vibration, and motion at sea. Standard consumer or even professional land speakers fail within months in marine environments. We use marine-rated components with conformal-coated electronics, stainless steel hardware, UV-resistant enclosures, and mounting systems designed for constant motion. Power systems are compatible with both 16A shore power and onboard generators.
Do you work with yacht charter companies?
Yes. We provide both permanent installations for yacht owners and temporary event setups for charter occasions. We can install at any ACI marina in the Adriatic, and we coordinate with charter management companies for seasonal installations that can be removed during off-season.
Can you install on yachts at any Croatian marina?
We install at all ACI marinas along the Croatian coast, from Pula to Dubrovnik. We also work with private berths and boatyards. For yachts transiting through Croatian waters, we can meet at your preferred port with pre-configured systems ready for rapid installation.
How do you handle power constraints on yachts?
Yacht electrical systems are limited — typically 16A shore power shared across all onboard systems. Our installations are designed for minimal power draw, using Class D amplification and efficient DSP processing. We calculate total power budgets including your existing onboard systems before specifying any installation, and we can integrate with generator auto-start systems for peak demand.
What about vibration and motion affecting sound quality?
We use marine-grade isolation mounts that decouple speakers from hull vibration. Amplifiers and DSP processors are mounted in shock-resistant enclosures with vibration damping. Cabling uses marine-grade connectors with positive locking mechanisms that maintain connection integrity in rough seas.
Can you integrate with existing yacht AV systems?
Yes. Many yachts have legacy systems that need upgrading or extending. We assess existing infrastructure — wiring, amplifier locations, head unit compatibility — and design upgrades that work with what is already installed. We can add zones to existing systems or replace components incrementally.
How discreet are the installations?
We design every installation with the principle that the best audio system is one your guests never see. Flush-mount speakers, hidden subwoofers integrated into cabinetry, and wireless control mean the technology disappears into the yacht interior. Cable routing follows existing conduit paths, and all visible hardware uses finishes that match your yacht trim.
Do you provide temporary audio for yacht events and parties?
Yes. For yacht charter events, launch parties, or special occasions, we provide portable marine-suitable systems that install in under an hour and remove without any permanent modification. Our battery-powered Coastal Ceremony System is popular for yacht deck events where no shore power is available.
What is the typical timeline for a full yacht audio installation?
A consultation and survey takes one visit. System design and specification takes 5-7 business days. Installation ranges from one day for a simple 2-zone system to 3-5 days for a full multi-zone installation with hidden cabling. We schedule installations around your cruising calendar and marina availability.
