Unique partnership drive towards leadership in bespoke entertainment systems for leisure vessels
Lantic Entertainment Systems will restart as a distinct business entity from its base in Risskov, Denmark, but will benefit from the substantial international distribution capabilities of its new parent company and business partner, as well as access to greater resources for its research and development programme. Alewijnse Marine Systems and Marine AV will jointly drive one of the most prestigious names in marine entertainment systems, and have a flagship brand to spearhead their expansion within this exciting and fast-moving sector.
Alewijnse Marine Systems provides technical services, innovative electrical engineering and ICT solutions to owners and builders in the commercial, naval and superyacht sectors and has worked with many top yards. Marine AV is already the leading supplier of high quality marine audio and visual products in Europe and has over fifteen years experience in the sector.

Lantic Entertainment Systems will re-establish itself to deliver integrated entertainment solutions to owners and operators seeking the very best. Current development programmes include improvements in iPod compatibility and integration, enhanced delivery of HD programming, and improved solutions for realtime data streaming. The iconic Lantic remote control keypad is widely recognised as a benchmark of technological capability and sophistication.
“This agreement creates a partnership that combines the very best in technology and distribution,” commented David Milner, Managing Director of Marine AV, and Dick Alewijnse, CEO of Alewijnse. “Up until now Lantic has been a well-kept secret among the most demanding operators, but together we can make Lantic the leading entertainment brand in the luxury leisure sector, with its products a recognised hallmark of excellence on board any vessel.”
Alewijnse Marine Systems is part of the Alewijnse group with over 1,000 employees. The company has a long tradition in maritime technology and works on over 150 vessels every year in the commercial, naval and superyacht sectors. Alewijnse supplies a comprehensive range of technical services, innovative electrical engineering and bespoke ICT solutions covering all on-board electrical functions. With a broad network of partners, Alewijnse combines the latest technology with years of experience.
