Good quality products, though a little bit over priced. Of course, you will get what you pay for usually. Huge variety of boat parts and gear, solid clothing sections of beach or boat wear, and a nice fishing section more suited to saltwater needs. Good amount of reels and baits but not too many rods to choose from.
Nice big marine store with a good staff.
Clean and well organized retail store. Well stocked and friendly service.
If your calling for info expect very long wait time. Live an hour away and tried making sure product in stock. Put on hold over 20 minutes each time. Im sure a better system can be put in place.
Big shout out to the staff at the Ft. Myers West Marine. Had been stumped on a rigging project for some time, but Jim C. came to my rescue and sent me on my way a happy man. Great place to do business.
They have what you need. We were able to save some money during the 4th sale.
Always have what you need!
Lame service, limited selection and wont sell floor samples of radios that they wont have for a month.
Practically the only game in town for the serious boat owner who needs to do some work or some outfitting. If you have to buy bottom paint here or anything else, you probably want to do it through a contractor, as they get a serious discount. West Marine has always had really good equipment at really high prices. At least they do have the good equipment.
Well stocked and always have what you want.
I had an issue with a Garmin navigator. Malcom and Johnathan were extremely courteous and helpful, and were able to isolate the problem. Much appreciated.
Good place for canoe/kayak repair material such as gel coat, fiber glass, epoxy, hardware, tools, varnish...
Awesome n helpful staff. Everything marine that you need with good prices.
Great womens fishing clothes
Centrally located in Ft. Myers at College and 41, they usually have what Im looming for and are great about helping answer my questions.
Everything a boat enthusiast could need. Apparel, electronics, gear. Visit this place before you drop the boat into the water. You wont be disappointed. Ample parking. Clean stores with friendly knowledgeable staff. Get all you important last minute items here.
Love this store. Akways si buffer and helpful. I always find exact what i need.
I have been trying to purchase items from WEST MARINE for a few years now. The majority of the time, the do NOT have stock. Always the same excuse, that they just sold out. Now, they are telling me to go online and order myself so that I dont have to pay for shipping. Why would I pay shipping for you to transfer items that you ran out of stock? If I have to go online and do this myself, I will purchase on Amazon or other sites that have better prices. I try and give my local stores business to help our economy, but WEST MARINE does NOT make this easy.
Typical West Marine. Friendly, helpful staff. Usually a good selection.
Had what we wanted. Cashier pleasant.
Yes, they usually have what I need for my boat, but their prices are anywhere from double to ten times higher than others charge. The store is clean and bright with lots of apparel and shoes. The staff are usually available and somewhat knowledgeable.
Great experience. Good service
Didnt have what I needed ⚜️✝️
Awesome store. Super clean and organized. The real reason for 5 stars is the customer service. I cant think of any other store that has staff as helpful, knowledgeable, and experienced as here, they always have the right answers and have helped me numerous times with knowledge in working on my boat. Gary in the parts department is great, really knows his stuff. Some items are more pricey than other stores, but A. its worth it to get some personal expertise, and B. they price match pretty much anywhere, including Amazon.
Bring lots of money, they have most everything you need
Excellent place for all your boating needs!
Helpful associate in getting fishing equipment, but a wait before help was found. Tons of fishing equipment.
Service is great, of course prices are high, but thats what you get for having what you need when you need it. If I dont need it right now, then I order online from discount places. But I expect to pay a price to touch the merchandise and make sure its exactly what I need.
Shelves are bear. Customers dont were masks and one shopping while vaping. Ill be shopping mostly online from other vendors when possible.
Need mask. Great supply
Service was great. Young lady (reddish hair) helped me just as I walked thru door and gentleman rang up my purchase. I will refer my boating friends here. Great customer service.
Ducked in during Memorial Day COVID weekend to purchase some nautical themed and over priced gifts, goodies, sandals, and nick knacks and it rocked, heres why:* Exemplary service* I needed a niche item, and even though staff and management didnt really have what I asked for, they delivered in a manner that made me a raving fan* I have never been to this unit, but I received such attentive and friendly and personalized service I am considering driving over from Broward County to shop here exclusivelyWell done, team.Cabeza OUT!
Very helpful well stocked
Excellent customer service! Thank you Jonathan and Terry! You went above and beyond to determine our needs and assist us in securing our purchase along our route. Top notch!
I wish we had a West Marine like this in Atlanta. Huge selection of all things marine. The fishing dept and GPS dept (Luke) are reel pros, pun intended! Its a well run location, and a tempting destination to blow some money.
I have been coming into this store for over three years now. Each time I have received the highest level of satisfaction. This store is essentially a well oiled machine, with a perfect balance of hospitality knowledge and experience. Gary in parts, is invaluable. Jonathan in electronics. Kenny in fishing. And last but not least Ellen. You get the feel that you are valuable here as a customer, and that is worth alot as a professional in the industry. I cannot say enough good things about the people that work here and genuinely they make me feel like a part of their family. Thank you guys,Capt Josh
Tried to order electronics to up grade my boat, first they forgot to work up a quote, then after I went back to get the numbers they said they didnt have everything in stock and would get back to me the next day, there days later I gave up and ordered from another vendor.Unless you can find it on the shelf, have no need for help I would advise you go somewhere else, youll get more help on the internet than in this store.
I purchased a Rule Tournament Series 800 GPH livewell pump along with the 20% extra cost extended warranty. The pump went out within the warranty period. Today i went in to exchange the pump and the cashier, Catherine, refused to swap out the pump under the extended warranty so I had to purchase another pump. She said that i had to wait until the manufacturers warranty ran out for their warranty to kick in. When I purchased the pump with the 2 year extended warranty, I was told that I could swap the pump out HASSLE FREE from the date of purchase up to 2 years past the manufacturers warranty. I have never heard of that one before when purchasing an extended warranty at 1/5th the cost of the item. I have given them a lot of business. I purchased an ipilot from them last year and was planning on buying a 2nd 10ft Power Pole in the next few weeks from there. Needless to say I will be shopping at Bass Pro Shops from now on. Im sure Bass Pro will honor their extended warranty and not give me the run around.
Has everything you need for your boat
Had exactly what i needed and the staff was knowledgeable well kept and presented retail area
Get out There!
Prices are high but most of the time they have what ya need. Then comes the matter of locating it. Then the person helping you seems to think their opinion is all ya wanna hear.
They charge too much go to Marine Trading Post!
Great store, helpful information. Purchased a waterproof navigation map.
Very helpful staff and a great variety of boating and fishing gear.
They love puppies! Everyone was friendly and helpful.
Love this place !! Somethings are way over priced and wish they offered a good rewards system for those of us that do spend a lot of money here.
No replacement handles for kayaks
Real good service, prices a bit high .
Everything is to expensive.....I was surprised to see the prices of 15 to 20 dollars more than other places.....sorry but to rush for my blood...
Great staff. Very helpful and friendly.
Very pleasant nice store to shop at. Was helped without waiting. Fair priced items clean and well-staffed.
Orderd marine part at store. Received part in a couple days. Everything went well. Second time I ordered a part. Same result. Great service.
All top notch stuff fishing tackle and clothes
Nice selection, looking for a kayak. Always like going in just to look around.
My boyfriend and I went into the store looking for parts to repair his boat. The store is great, however, I am giving a one star review because of Jim at the parts counter. He seemed inconvenienced when he had to turn down the show he was watching on his computer to help us. When we asked simple questions about parts he gave attitude and it made us feel like he was talking down to us. Because of his lack of effot to help us, we had to return to the store three more times, unfortunately finding him there each time. He failed to look up the parts correctly in the system and put us in a game of trial and error which was extremely frustrating. We decided to trust another marine parts store to give us the correct parts and acceptable customer service.
My father has been coming here since they opened to buy his boating needs. Gary in parts is very knowledgeable and knows what hes talking about. Malcolm also knows everything you could ask about Garmin and Raymarine and if either of them arent sure on something they take the time to research it and find the best option thats suitable for you. Terry the store manager is very patient and has a well rounded expertise with just about everything in the store. Good atmosphere, will continue shopping at this West Marine.
I have a technical question about one product and the employees where very well prepare to answer and explained everything about the product and the different options available.
I would like to thank Terry Hale and Jordan Wyse for a job well done. They went above and beyond to ensure all my questions were answered and the purchase went smoothly. Thanks for all the help.
Another good location for Columbia clothing. Nice selection. Best to catch a sale.
Great place to find or have an idea what you may need for your boat. Wonderful, helpful and kind personal attention.
Great place to get your boating needs, boating clothes, fishing tackle and the Guys in the back @ parts will help above and beyond what you would expect from a store which is hard to find these days.
Very friendly staff. Delivered there without issue. They have a forklift! Id deliver here again for sure. Thanks!
3 stars for Kim, -2 stars for Gary who childishly flicked me the bird when I turned around. All because he was scared to help anyone and upset he was working.
Expensive and didnt have many oil filters on hand.
Rude customer service from Gary!
Walked in to store at 230pm and a half hour later I left very mad. Not the service I have received in the past. Three customers in store and I was one of them. Five employees that I could see and none offered to help. After following two of the employees around and waiting till they got done talking about fishing with a person that came into the store after me. I stopped one of the fellows and asked if he could help me. He said no but the other fellow that was with him could and I waited. I then went to the cashier and asked him to help and he said he could not. I then went back to the other fellow and he said he could help. I got what I wanted and went to the cashier who was calling someone the radio to get a customer help. I asked why he did not do that for me and he said everyone was busy and if I had a problem I should take it up with them.
Friend has their boat here. Its convient to the cabin. The owners where very nice
Prices are thru the roof compared to other sellers. Good stuff but I will NOT pay that much when I can go elsewhere.
Very helpful customer service originated store. I would definitely recommend this store!
Very low inventory.Employees not very knowledgeable and dont seem to care probably cause they have noting to sell
Always a great experience with the staff at this location. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The whole shebang!!
Nice place to shop prices are pretty high but usually have what you are looking for
One of the better West Marines Ive been to. Flagship store definitely feature every and all offerings from the chain.
Good service had the parts we needed
The staff here are very helpful and knowledgeable, but its not worth the high prices. One can easily find items for as much as half the cost online.
Good staff knowledgeable, friendly, professional. Well stocked clean and modern store.
We have a Port Supply account for over ten years, we have Charter boats as well private boat. This time last year in Stuart they looked my receipt up for a ice maker to exchange and the lady said we had already spent 70,000 dollars. Tonight I didnt have my card on me and had a buggy over filled at least 1,000 dollars. It was 7 minutes before closing and the guy at the register wouldnt even look my account up! I also was returning 4 lights. He didnt wont to be delayed getting out of there. So I walk rite out and will not be back! I know they wouldnt tolerate that kind of service back home in Orange Beach. They must be desperate for help?
I have always received excellent, courteous service. Only once did I encounter a salesman I considered rude. But I was immediately helped by another that was overly helpful and friendly. I like shopping at West Marine.
Nice to have a store, prices are high.
Real good service, prices a bit high
Everything you need for boating. Excellent staff, great products, quality all the way. From Kyaks, canoes, standup boards, clothes, parts & safety equipment.
The selection of comfortable stylish clothing so appropriate for Florida lifestlye was overwhelmeingly great for water, casual, lightweight outdoor and beach wear I have ever found in one location!
Big store with plenty of selection no matter what your looking for. As in any marine store, the margins on products are sky high. Value of your purchase per dollar is low.
A little pricey but a great selection
Large store with great selections. Wish there was a less expensive alternative to Yeti products that were of comparable quality.
Didn’t have what we want but very clean nice store
Well stocked. Friendly service
Great store. Everything you would need for fishing. Clothes, gear, kayaks, you name it.
Great service! Friendly and thorough.
Charging 3x the price of anywhere else that sells boat supplies
Nice place
This location has a great selection of items, more than most. The prices are higher on some items, but they generally have what your looking for.
Great place for boat supplies have been going here for years
Shop here several times a week. Great clothes
I give them one star only because of the cleanliness and organization. The sales person lied and the display was very misleading, I will not go back in a West marine ever..
Jonathan is the man! Thank you for impeccable customer service.
Super friendly staff, helpful and knowledgeable about their products.
Great selection of boating accessories and clothing
They dont carry a large inventory but for something basic you can usually find it and it will probably cost 30% more than other stores. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet to get the job done.
