Who has more autonomy than a superyacht owner? These individuals can cruise the world's most spectacular waters, visiting remote beaches, fjords and islets inaccessible to the general public. And yet for all this freedom, inclement weather is still a factor that feels out of owners' control.
It is also one of the issues most likely to curb guest satisfaction, whether that manifests as an unusually cold morning in the Mediterranean or an explorer yacht unable to enjoy Scandinavia's icy, rugged terrain to the fullest.
Cue Bromic Heating. A global leader in outdoor heating for commercial, residential and marine applications, Bromic Heating has the first and only Lloyd's Register-approved outdoor heater designed specifically for high salt-air marine environments. Made of high-quality AISI316 marine-grade stainless steel, the Platinum Marine heater has a fully enclosed body to protect internal elements. It is recessed within the vessel ceilings, providing easy cleaning and maintenance for the crew. Crucially, it heats objects rather than air, which is what makes it so compatible with the al fresco lifestyle. Other first-rate features that set the brand apart include easy integration into home automation systems, no light emission and complimentary design support to ensure optimal heater placement.
Naturally, owners have already caught on to Bromic Heating, with renowned builds from Lürssen, Rossinavi and Van der Valk benefitting from its innovative solutions. BOAT takes a closer look at the case studies...

"The evenness of the heat emission is one of our customers’ favourite features of Bromic’s heating solutions," says Coral Ocean's Captain Kaye. "The distribution and heat pattern allows for a very even heat, with fewer cold spots than other heater types. Controlled by a Wireless Dimmer Controller, these heaters seamlessly provide a comfortable and consistent temperature for guests to dine on the deck without being an eyesore like other available heating solutions."

Length: 49.7m

"To ensure a comfortable usage of the outdoor areas all year, we have installed nine Bromic 'Marine Outdoor Heaters' on board Lel – in the bar area, dining area and lounge area," explains Captain Michael Graeff. "The heaters are super convenient, and we are using them a lot, especially before and after the main season. I can definitely recommend these heaters as they keep our guests warm and comfortable on those cooler and breezy days and they are also low maintenance and easy to handle for the crew."

"Bromic’s great design, ease of use, and efficient heat output made it an easy choice when selecting a heating system for our explorer yacht," says Andre Caixêta, Lady Lene's chief engineer. "Each time the heaters are turned on, the heat is felt immediately at the perfect temperature."
