Marine Generators Depot supplies VETUS Marine Generators for sailboats, motor yachts, liveaboard vessels and commercial marine applications requiring compact and dependable onboard AC power. The Vetus GX generator family combines marinized diesel engines with fixed-speed alternator systems and is designed around practical installation, service accessibility and reduced machinery-space noise. Current VETUS listings cover generator sets from approximately 6kVA to 20kVA, with 50Hz and 60Hz configurations available depending on model.
The range includes compact models such as the GLX6.5, GLX7 and GHX8, together with 14kVA and 20kVA generator sets for vessels requiring greater electrical capacity. These sizes are relevant to buyers comparing 5kW-class, 8kW, 10kW and larger marine generators for refrigeration, battery chargers, water heaters, pumps, galley appliances and marine air-conditioning systems. VETUS publishes its generator output primarily in kVA, so the actual available kW should be confirmed from the specific model and electrical configuration rather than treating kVA and kW as interchangeable.
A key feature of the VETUS lineup is the choice between higher-speed compact yacht generators and lower-speed marine gensets. VETUS identifies 1500 RPM units as particularly suitable for prolonged use, liveaboard vessels and commercial applications, while higher-speed 3000 RPM sets provide reduced dimensions and weight for leisure boats with restricted machinery space. This allows buyers to balance operating profile, installation footprint and onboard comfort when choosing a boat generator or yacht generator.
Noise control is also central to the GLX range. VETUS publishes a sound level of approximately 57 dB(A) with the soundproof enclosure for GLX models, while the generators incorporate IP55 protection and are designed for compact installation. Selected units also provide one-sided access to service components, helping technicians reach routine maintenance points without requiring excessive clearance around the complete genset.
Electrical options vary across the range, including 50Hz and 60Hz marine generators, single-phase models and selected three-phase configurations. For example, VETUS lists a 14kVA three-phase GLX model at 3 × 400V and a 20kVA three-phase GLX20TIC, with the latter providing 20kVA at 50Hz and 24kVA at 60Hz. When selecting a VETUS marine diesel generator, Marine Generators Depot recommends confirming voltage, frequency, phase, expected starting loads and vessel distribution requirements before purchase.
VETUS generators are also useful candidates for marine generator replacement and repower projects. Replacing an older 6kW, 8kW, 10kW or similar-sized boat genset requires comparison of more than nominal power: installation dimensions, mounting arrangement, raw-water connections, exhaust, voltage, frequency and control systems should all be checked. VETUS maintains installation manuals, user manuals and parts catalogues for its GHX and GLX generator families, which can assist with installation planning and ongoing service support.
Whether your project calls for a compact VETUS boat generator, a quiet yacht genset, a 6–8kVA marine power system, a 14kVA generator or a larger 20kVA commercial marine generator, Marine Generators Depot can assist with model comparison, replacement applications, technical configuration, accessories and worldwide supply. Providing your required kW/kVA, voltage, 50Hz or 60Hz frequency, phase, vessel application, and installation space will help identify the most suitable available configuration.
