West Marine 127 Marginal Way, Portland, ME 04101

"The store is very organized & the staff are very friendly. James and Paul were very helpful in assisting me in locating a part online for my vintage boat restoration. It was worth the one hour drive for excellent customer service. I will definitely be returning!"

"Part of me loves West Marine, but the prices are high and you'd have to imagine that they will go out of business soon. Too much internet competition and other retailers with better selection at better prices."

"Andy and his team were very friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a SUP online for Christmas. It came in with some cosmetic damage. Andy looked it over with me to ensure it was just cosmetic and offered me a reasonable discount. Very fair, very friendly. Excited to have this option in Portland. Thanks Andy."

"Have used many times in past both online and in stores, good prices, great product and inventory, and fast shipping. Last online order had a problem with shipping (USPS) delaying time-sensitive order. Called customer service, talked with a live person right away, very helpful, was able to take care of issue for me so I got product on time. Excellent customer service, friendly, helpful people to speak with, which unfortunately is rare these days. Recommended."

"OMG! What a find! I found so much that I will want for my kayak in the future. I will be shopping here for so many of my needs. The staff was friendly and helpful. Any question s I had seemed important to the staff. I am very impressed. So, yeah. Recommend."
