Since first opening our doors in 1968, West Marine crew members continue to serve boaters and provide helpful advice on the gear and gadgets customers need to be safe and have fun. With 240 stores located in 38 states and Puerto Rico and a thriving eCommerce website serving retail and professional customers, West Marine is recognized as the premier multi-channel retailer of boating and fishing supplies.

Throughout the years, West Marine has continued to rely on outstanding customer service, selection and quality as its anchor and that’s been the secret of its success.

Boats have always had the power to inspire people. They have been the impetus behind countless songs, paintings, works of literature and early retirements. West Marine’s founder and chairman, Randy Repass took his passion for boating, channeled it into a prosperous business and revolutionized the way people shop for boating supplies.
