Support gCaptain – Announcing The Gear Shop

By John Konrad On January 30, 2008

We are happy to announce a partnership with amazon.com to bring you gCaptain’s gear shop.

What is it?

We have basically searched through Amazon’s offerings and added the items that we used aboard ship or have been recommended by readers in our comments.

Why shop with gCaptain?

A Ships Captain has added each item by hand so you know you will be getting quality gear and books we enjoy like Captain Kelly Sweeney’s From the Bridge: Authentic Modern Sea Stories. By using amazon as our delivery method you will have the online safety and low prices this retailer is know for.

Why not shop at Amazon directly

No cost is added to the order meaning you will get the same low prices as if you went to Amazon.com directly.

Amazon gives us a small referral fee (between 4 and 7%) for each item you order and that money goes towards adding new features to gCaptain.

What about non-maritime Amazon orders

Simply use the following link and gCaptain will benefit on all orders you place through Amazon.com:
