Based in Seattle. Queer Black woman–owned. ABYC & Victron certified.

About Us

Sarah’s Shipshape Services is a marine electrical business delivering premium, ABYC-compliant solutions tailored to today’s boaters. I specialize in lithium battery systems, Victron Energy products, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and clean, thoughtful wiring that lasts. From high-level design to hands-on implementation, I focus on building systems you can depend on—whether you’re headed offshore or just want peace of mind at the dock.

Founded in 2022 by Sarah Scott, this business is growing fast—powered by a reputation for integrity, precision, and clear communication. Clients trust me not only for what I know, but for how I work: with care, intelligence, and attention to detail. Sarah brings a decade of marine experience, ABYC and Victron certifications, and a deep understanding of what boaters actually need. As a sailor and former marine hardware department manager, she knows this world inside and out—from the bilge to the backstay.

This isn’t just another tech-for-hire shop. I’m building a new standard in marine service—one where clients feel empowered, respected, and informed.

My presence in the marine trades is still unusual—and that matters. In an industry dominated by men, I bring something different to the table: not just representation, but a commitment to doing excellent work, raising the bar, and modeling a more inclusive, sustainable future for this craft.

Meet the Team

Sarah’s Shipshape Services is a small, mobile business with a commitment to quality, clarity, and doing things right the first time. I’m a hands-on professional with deep technical knowledge and a genuine love for empowering boaters with safe, reliable electrical systems.

I believe that great marine service isn’t just about knowing your way around a breaker panel—it’s about communication, trust, and taking real pride in your work. Whether I’m troubleshooting an urgent power issue or designing a custom lithium system, I show up prepared, curious, and committed to leaving your boat better than I found it.

I don’t do cookie-cutter installs—and I don’t do sloppy work. I bring experience, certification, and care to everything I touch.
