Our belief is that we carry the best products with the best prices, for all your marine needs.

Are you in desparate need an obscure engine part?  Let us help you source it out.  Do you need to upgrade your fishing gear?  Come and check out our supply of Scotty, Ace, Gibbs, Trophy and other items to land your salmon, ling or halibut.  Would you like to spend more tim, or perhaps even overnight once in awhile?  Let us set you up with an anchor and rode system that fits your boat.  We also carry diesel and propane heaters from Dickinson and Espar plus a barbecue lineup that includes Dickinson, Magma, and Kuuma.

We still have the same great selection of heavy-duty tarps and Breezesta furniture that you have come to expect.  But want you may not know is that we maybe the best kept marine secret on the entire island!  Come see for yourself.

The store has been in it’s present location for close to 30 years now.  Originally built as part of Independent Shipwrights, the retail store was sold in the Fall of 2022 to a local fishing family.  The Main family have made extensive renovations to the floor plan, primarily by expanding the lower floor retail space and eliminating the need to head upstairs.  Combining these measures with dedicated shipping/receiving building has given rise to a very user-friendly and well laid-out space.

All of the great product lines (Pollen sweaters, Helly Hansen rainwear, Blue Seas electrical, Scotty, etc) are still on hand.  With the increased floor space, we have been added more products .i.e Grunden’s outerwear and Salty Crew casualwear.

As always, our staff members are very knowledgeable and as boaters ourselves, we understand the need to combine cost and quality when it comes to making the most of your outdoor adventures.
