We have accumulated a great deal of experience in the marine field since 1983. I served in the military as a ships captain on LCUs and Tug boats for several years. I was licensed for open ocean unlimited tonnage with a coast guard radar observers certificate.

The Blue Water Chandlery Company was founded in 2009 in a effort to provide mariners with  the ultimate source for Marine Radio, GPS Navigation Systems, VHF Radio, Boat Accessories and Equipment at Exceptional Values. We are continually negotiating for better pricing so we can pass the savings on to our customers. Our mission is not to make a lot of money,  just enough to cover our expenses and provide top name brand products at an exceptional value to our customers.

In 2002 we started building a 40+ foot trawler intending to live aboard and enjoy our retirement. You can read our on-line journal of the construction of the "Molly B" at http://home.att.net/~schmidttl . During the course of construction and the endless search for materials and components, we decided there had to be a better source for these products, hence Blue Water Chandler .com. We are starting our "Ships Store" with marine radio, gps navigation systems, vhf radio, and boat accessories, since this seems to be the area of greatest interest on the  Internet. We will be adding products to our store regularly to provide a complete line of marine radio, gps navigation systems, vhf radio, boat accessories, and more at the best possible value you will find anywhere. We hope you will check back often to see what's new at Blue Water Chandler.
