Boat Fridges

Dometic are experts in making mobile living easy. Our leading refrigeration solutions include a wide range of boat fridges for those who seek comfort while away on their boat. Designed to meet the full spectrum of our customers' needs, as well as suit different sizes and types of boat, we use all our decades of experience and the very latest technologies to design reliable boat fridges that you can depend on. Here are some tips to help you find, and later make the most of, your Dometic marine fridge:

Turn empty spaces into a fridge

With a high performance compressor drawer boat fridge, you can make use of small spaces, such as under a bed or in an empty storage drawer. This maximises space on board by transforming empty, unused spaces into a convenient marine refrigerator. The compact CD series of boat fridge offers easy, roll-out access to contents. Its cooling unit can be installed separately and therefore provides flexible positioning options.

Boat fridges with patented locking system

With the motion of the waves rocking the boat, the need for a securely locked fridge door is obvious. However, our engineering team have designed an innovative dual locking system which does more than keep the door of your boat fridge closed. Our patented dual locking system acts a vent for an improved cooling performance too. This locking system be found in our CoolMatic CRP and CRX series of marine fridges.

Boat fridges for tight spaces

A space-saving design is a key feature for many people looking to buy a boat fridge. There are various features which enable our marine fridges to fit neatly in confined spaces. As well as compact marine fridge designs, some boat fridges have a detachable cooling unit which can be positioned on either side of the fridge and up to 1.5 m away for increased installation flexibility. A bevelled edge on the backside of the boat fridge also helps to make the best use of space on board.

Luxury marine fridges

Designed for large yachts and commercial vessels, the HDC series of boat fridges gives users the ultimate home-from-home comfort. If you have room on board, why not enjoy a free-standing model of boat fridge, complete with spacious marine freezer? The separate fridge and freezer compartments are accessed by their own door. And, of course, there is no compromise made when it comes to style. The elegant, brilliant white exterior will complement the luxurious interior styling of your yacht.

Solar powered boat fridges

Some models of marine fridge can be powered by solar energy. Marine fridges and freezers with this feature allow you to save energy, save money and care for the environment while keeping food and drinks cool. By running your boat fridge on solar power, it also ensures you won't drain the boat's battery. For many reasons, using solar energy to power your boat fridge makes sense!

For the best cooling results from your boat fridge, follow these three simple tips:

Close the boat fridge properly

Some boat fridges have features, such magnetic seals, to ensure the door closes firmly. However, it's important that you check the condition of these seals to make sure they are effectively trapping cool air inside your marine fridge.

Do not overload your marine fridge!

For optimal cooling, cold air needs to effectively circulate around the shelves of your boat fridge. If your marine fridge or freezer is packed full with food and drink, then the flow of air will be restricted. This will have a negative impact on the cooling power of your fridge.

Turn your boat fridge on the day before

By turning your boat fridge on the day before you depart, you can ensure that the fridge is optimally cooled. We recommend doing this during the night when the ambient temperature is cooler, as it will reduce the amount of time and energy it takes to achieve your desired cool temperature.
