Raritan Engineering Refrigerators

Raritan Engineering Marine Refrigeration: Built for the Galley, Tested by the Sea

When you spend serious time on the water, the quality of your onboard galley equipment matters as much as your navigation gear. Raritan Engineering — a family-owned American manufacturer with roots going back to 1958 — is one of the most trusted names in marine equipment, and that same engineering discipline carries directly into their marine refrigerators and ice-making appliances. Built in Millville, NJ, Raritan products are designed by people who understand that "marine-grade" is not a marketing phrase — it's an engineering requirement.

The Icer-Ette: Raritan's Flagship Marine Ice Maker

At the heart of Raritan's refrigeration lineup is the Icer-Ette — a compact, purpose-built marine ice maker engineered specifically for the ocean environment. The current Icer-Ette Model 88 runs on 115 volts and is capable of producing up to 21 pounds of clear, fresh ice daily, all while consuming just 2¾ gallons of water in the process. For provisioning long passages, entertaining guests, or simply keeping drinks cold at anchor, that output is a genuine galley asset.

What separates the Icer-Ette from a household ice maker you might find at a big-box store? Every detail of its construction acknowledges the brutal demands of a marine environment. The brushed stainless-steel exterior and all hardware — down to the hinges and door latch — are crafted from corrosion-resistant materials built to stand up to salt air and vibration over the long haul. A positive-catch door latch keeps the ice compartment sealed and sanitary at sea, ensuring that rolling swells don't compromise ice quality or safety.

Eco-Friendly Refrigerant for Responsible Boating

Raritan has always taken environmental stewardship seriously — the company was developing environmentally responsible marine sanitation solutions long before regulations required it. The Icer-Ette Model 88 continues that tradition by using R600a refrigerant, an eco-friendly alternative to older, more harmful coolants that meets or exceeds current EPA and international sustainability standards. For boaters who care about protecting the waters they sail on, this is a meaningful detail.
