Joe found a problem that no else could see. The boat runs smoothly now. I found Joe to be very knowledgeable and good for advice too. Joe is priced fairly and I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Thanks

Richard in Tarpon Springs went above and beyond assisting me. I asked a question on a GPS unit and he didn’t know the answer. Instead of making something up he readily admitted he didn’t know the answer but that he would find out. He called Scott over who was very knowledgeable. I found it very satisfying that Richard would want me to be to get the correct information and had no problem asking for help. This is the kind of employee I want at my business.

Worked with Mike and Henry at the Tarpon Springs, FL store today. I was hunting for an obscure Yamaha outboard part. They did not have it in stock but helped me locate a retailer in the area OPEN on a SUNDAY. Awesome customer service from these guys!

I visited the Redding store on June 19. Heather and Mike were very helpful. Had my water pump at the counter ready to go,didn’t confirm we were coming. The service & knowledge were commendable & professional. So happy & thank you! Salute.

Thank you Steven, Raul, and crew in West Marine on US1. Jake and his friends had a blast with the tunnels constructed using boxes you collected, stored and help transfer to the vehicle. We appreciate how you went above and beyond to help make our son’s bday special!

Order was supposed to be delivered to store 7 to 10 days. I called store after 10 days and they told me it just got processed the day before. Waited total of 19 days and I still had to call store to check. They told me they haven't unloaded truck from day before and they didn't have invoice for products on the truck??? They called me back 8 hours later and told me it was the last box they unloaded. Yeah right. Picked it up and no apology or anything.

Bad Manager in Raleigh NC Store. I ordered registration letters/numbers for my boat and i was to pick up at the store. I received an email from West Marine that said "item(s) are ready for pickup". i drove 20 minutes to the store only to find out it wasn't there. I asked the manager to send them to my house when they arrived due to it being their fault. He refused and offered no apology. I cancelled my order.

Order battery boxes from them and probably did not do thoroughly research and the boxes did not fit my application. The return cost was more than the price of boxs. They did not email a return label and made the return cost up to me. I am now stuck with the order. Not happy with there return policy.

I ordered a Raymarine part over a month ago. I called twice with no help from customer service. Should be called customer no service. If you have another retailer, use them instead.

Lately west marine seems to be nothing but a clothing store. With maintenance items waxes cleaners can’t count how many times I go into Stratford Ct store and walk out with nothing then go over the the ship store of Hitchcock marine and get what I need

Can not believe. When I said to the parts guy. You don’t know what a battery tender is. He hung up the phone. When I called back no answer. This is the Old Saybrook location. I will Never spend a dime in that store again. Go somewhere else. You’ll be happier.

My son gave me a new Clarion radio for my birthday. When I hooked it up it did not power up. I took it to West Marine. After a huge hassle with "customer service" I was told I had to contact the manufacture of the radio. The radio was less than 90 days old and West Marine did nothing to solve the issue.

Longtime customer. Over 20 years. Today I was told that my name is not on file. So no discount. Informed cashier if that is the case, then they lost a customer.

They cant find your order and then they double charge your account without sending you shipping notice or tracking.

Terrible customer service. The Traverse City lost my order. Ok things happen. Yet I called three days in a row. Each day was told I would get a call back in a couple of hours after they looked for it. Never got a single call back. I am done with them

I went here to purchase Mildew Stain Remover for my boat. I could only find the "West Marine". brand and it was $19.00! I thought this seemed ridiculously expensive so when I got home I looked on line. The mildew stain removers ranged from $3.00 to $12.00. Many of the very cheap ones had excellent review scores. Every time I go into West Marine, I feel like every thing there is twice as expensive as anywhere else.
