Our Company

We sail. We boat. We fish. We paddle. We dive. We explore. We live. Each person has a unique connection to the water. At West Marine (NASDAQ: WMAR), our knowledge, enthusiasm and products prepare Waterlife adventurers to foster that connection and explore their passions. With more than 260 stores located in 38 states and Puerto Rico and a thriving eCommerce website (www.westmarine.com) reaching domestic, international and professional customers, West Marine is recognized as a leading “Waterlife Outfitter” for cruisers, sailors, anglers and paddlesports enthusiasts. Since first opening our doors in 1968, West Marine associates continue to share the same love for the water as our customers and provide helpful advice on the gear and gadgets customers need to be safe and have fun. We are committed to supporting the communities in which we do business through our BlueFuture Program, which gets kids on and around the water in both recreational and educational capacities. Each year, BlueFuture awards grants to water-based recreation and education programs all across the country that seek to cultivate the next generation of aquatic enthusiasts and help them foster a lasting connection to life on the water. When you work at West Marine, you’re part of a family; one that values spending quality time on the water, doing the things you love, and sharing that passion with our customers.
