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 a licensed Vessel Master for Open Ocean unlimited tonnage with a coast guard radar observers’ certificate by the time I retired.

The Blue Water Chandlery Company was founded in 2009 in an effort to provide mariners with the ultimate source for Marine Communication Equipment, GPS Navigation Electronics, and Marine Safety Equipment all at Exceptional Values. Our mission is not to make a lot of money, just enough to cover our expenses and provide top name brand products at bottom of the ocean prices. We are continually searching for the best possible pricing so we can pass the savings on to our customers. While there are many sources for this equipment on the internet, it is our sincere desire to be among the most sought after source, not only for the best prices, but most importantly, for the most committed customer service you can find anywhere.

In 2002 we started building a 45 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 www.journalofthemollyb.com 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 Electronics, and Marine Safety Equipment, since this seems to be an area of great interest on the Internet. We will be adding products to our store regularly to provide a complete line of marine supplies 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.
