Every cockpit is different, and boaters’ refrigeration needs can vary from outing to outing. That’s why Frigibar Industries offers numerous options with its line of upright cockpit freezer/refrigerators. Handcrafted quality and beautiful looks in a space-saving design are the hallmarks of Frigibar products, used by discerning customers and builders.

Frigibar’s top-opening, upright freezer/refrigerator range includes the Tournament, Sportsman, Ocean and Admiral models. The much-anticipated Hatteras 100 Raised Pilothouse yacht, debuting at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, features a Frigibar Ocean model on its flybridge.

Upright models from Frigibar conserve deck space while providing a significant amount of cold storage. Built to withstand a salt air environment, their all-fiberglass construction is impervious to rust and yields clean, aesthetic lines. Interior walls are finished porcelain-smooth for easy cleaning. Heavy-duty stainless steel hinges and hardware add class and durability. Optional three-piece installation fasteners keep the unit in place at sea, with a quick-release design for moving as needed.

Rugged Frigibar upright freezer/refrigerators are designed to maintain a 0º F temperature, even in an uncovered cockpit in full sun. Cooling coils hidden in the product walls, heavy-duty compressors, high-efficiency heat exchanger coils and a heated gasket seal all ensure maximum, efficient cooling power and product dependability.

Among Frigibar options for these versatile upright freezer/refrigerators is the popular dual control. This enables each model to serve as either a freezer or refrigerator, depending on the needs of the day. All Frigibar models include indicating lights to signify when the unit is running or if a defrost condition is approaching. An optional defrost warning alarm adds an audible alert. These freezer/refrigerators operate on 115V/60Hz but can be ordered in 220V/50Hz versions.

Frigibar can also mount the condensing unit on opposing sides of its products, with venting in a common location. This facilitates side-by-side units or accommodates the desired orientation of the unit on deck. To complement its cockpit freezer/refrigerators, Frigibar handcrafts handsome matching storage boxes. These waterproof fiberglass models perfectly match the freezer/refrigerator for a clean, uniform look onboard.
