Any good Websites/brick and mortar stores for outfitting Seafarers?

**suburbredneck** · February 2nd, 2012, 01:02 PM

New to the industry and have read some threads here on suggested gear and have gotten some good pointers herein. Was wondering if thier are any good websites/stores that outfit sailors and provide goods/services for thier overall/general needs for thier profession? Also any good brick and mortar stores in the major ports and areas. I'm trying to get things together for O/S MSC work,located in Jacksonville,Fl, and right now i am relying on Amazon.com for my outfitting needs.

For what Amazon, West Marine (try for a Port Supply account) and Landfall don't have, try this;

Hamilton Marine is a small chain in Maine that deals with both personal boaters and commercial fishermen (lobstermen mainly). I have found them to have very good prices.

Also try google searching the specific brand and model if gear you want, maybe add "for sale" after it.
