West Sea Co Nautical Antiques 2495 Congress Street, San Diego, CA 92110

"I have tried to visit this store three or four times in the past two years to buy things, but they have not been open during their posted hours once. I guess they don’t need to make money? Please update your hours or just go with an appointment-only based system."

"If I had an unlimited budget, a few items would have been purchased. It is a nautical paradise...."

"Was in San Diego to attend an old friend’s retirement from the Navy and stumbled into this museum/ nautical emporium. As a student of naval history, I found the place fascinating. The building was purpose-built to house their collection. While some of the most historic items are destined for public collections, many are available for purchase: antique chronometers, barometers, ships bells, navigation lights, folk art, marine paintings, medical instruments, china, scrimshaw, etc. I spent an hour looking over the collections and ended up purchasing a WW2-era USCG barometer. There is a $1 entry fee—absolutely worth the price, and refunded if you purchase something. If you are looking for a retirement gift for a Sailor, come here."

"Rod and Becky's West Sea Company is a must stop if you are looking for museum quality nautical antiques at reasonable prices. Conveniently located in Old Town, San Diego with their own dedicated parking lot. Becky's warm personality makes one immediately feel welcome as if you were visiting with a longtime friend. Rod's expertise and professional nautical knowledge is world renown. With each visit I feel I am discovering another historical nautical treasure."

"Becky the owner, was very sweet! She asked us to move our cute little rental close as possible so she could watch it safely. The museum/store was amazing! She even tried to give us ideas on how to get a big item on the plane because I've always wanted Nautical items! She went above and beyond."
