West Marine

"I needed some sealant for the roof of our RV and West Marine Bremerton was the only ones who carry it. When I get there, we find the store was broken into and the power was cut off. There was no way to pay for products. The owner in a time of frustration of being violated, had the idea to order and pay on the website, then she handed me the calk. Outstanding service! Thank you!"

"Avoid these guys like the place if you can. They tell you they price match Amazon and others, but they won't honor it. I paid 79.00 for a plug I could of ordered the night before and had about the same time I walked in there with the one day delivery for 49.99. When asked I was told oh yeah, we just changed our policies. I have no problem with changing policies, but post them for people to read."

"I went to buy some Cable Wraps for my Sailboat, not the electrical type. I had purchased some at the Gig Harbor location and while the person was helpful, he couldn't locate them on computer. I eventually Found them behind the Racks of Sailboat equipment. But I perused the store looking for some other items I needed and the prices are really high compared to other places."

"My job entails working with a hose pretty much all day long...went to West Marine here, bought a $15 nozzle and realized immediately after returning to work that it was faulty...it leaked all over the place. It was a few weeks before I made it back out to return it...and was refused, due to the nozzle missing its "packaging", meaning...the little construction paper backing it was attached to. The reason? Because it couldn't be resold without it. When I repeated that the unit was faulty, I was then told that it was because they couldn't return it to the manufacturer. Its not that big of a deal, but I make a hair over minimum wage...and making a twenty minute trip to purchase a defective item is aggravating all on its own, then being denied the return...this place isn't exactly "on the way" to anything. And the exchange transpired oddly, as if the clerk was looking for a reason to say no from the get-go, initially stating that he didn't think they even sold that model. Had to lead him back to where they kept it...that's when he noticed the paper-backing and let me know he couldn't refund unless I hat it. I painted a boat last year and must have spent close to a grand with these guys. Most of the stuff I could have gotten off of Amazon for a very notable reduction in price, but it was about the convenience of being able to grab it same-day. You take away the convenience and there's just an out-of-the-way store packed with stuff that's expensive enough where the last thing you'd want is an issue with returning something should there be a problem. With the default setting seemingly set to "no", this is a place you may want to avoid unless you've got money to burn."

"Good place to walk and a place to see a beautiful scenery and a lot of Rock Crabs to catch"
