The retail prices will stretch your rectum to extremes. Most people are not aware if they own a business they qualify for a west marine advantage account and the price reductions put them below and on par with any competitor. I r0utinely see retail prices cut in half on consumable items. Today the epoxy thats retail $99 gallon everywhere else is $107 at west marine ....but was $84 at west marine after my discount

Surprisingly nice inside. Had a good variety of items for all sorts of things. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. Well be back.

If you like being put on perma-hold by someone who clearly doesn’t know how to use the parts system, then this is the store for you. Tired of being productive? Sick of easy-to-use online merchants? Try beating your head against the parts counter at this store. It’s just the kind of frustration you’re looking for.

Pretty much the only place I shop for my sailboat Im refitting. Its expensive, but anything boating related is that way.

Dont waste your time. I went in to look at some options for sonar and I had questions but not a soul wanted to give me the time of day in this place. Every time I go here and need help every single employee acts like Im a burden to their day. They also say they have a price match but half of there store is self branded stuff that I can buy for half the price elsewhere. Seriously avoid this location at all costs.

The current staff seems to have no experience. They cannot help find products on their own store. They are otherwise nice and friendly, just helpless.

They have a great selection of marine gear, I found everything I needed for my boat, and more.

Well stocked and very clean atmosphere! The staff was helpful and distant, as we all should be these days. There were more fishing options than I expected, which was perfect for a 7 year old boys birthday! Thanks for saving the day!

Honeslty would not recommend people to shop here so go to Walmart or some where else they treat there employees bad I’ve heard plenty of horror story’s from here from no breaks to trying to rip off a customer to upsell something they really don’t need

I have posted before on Yelp, but this is absolutely the last time I go to this West Marine. So many reasons including they only have have of what you need so you have to go someplace else, but the visit on Saturday, May 1st takes the cake.Headed to West Marine Anacortes at 5:30 pm, after looking to see they closed at 6. I arrived at 5:44 pm and the door was locked, Two people came to the locked door and let a customer out with his bag (not posting one the peoples names). She said we could not enter because there was a DATA problem.......keep in mind it was sunny out on a Saturday night and someone else just purchased stuff. The employee was condescending. I asked for the managers name and she replied with i am one of them...She then said Toodaloo and closed the door in front of us.I honestly dont understand how this place remains in business. Do yourself a favor and shop someplace else.

I am so disappointed with the service we got today from West Marine in Anacortes.The gal, that was supposed to help us with our swim deck questions was very Rude,Disrespectful. And very uncaring.I will be calling the manager at West Marine in Anacortes tomorrow morning to hopefully get this resolved.

Review №18

I just want to say how rude one of the lady employees were when they approached me today. She literally cussed me out in front of my children and I did absolutely nothing but take a drink from my protein drink. She cussed me out and told me to leave and go outside all because I wanted to take a drink 😢 I understand people have a rough day but don’t take it out on customers. I did ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong. I HIGHLY don’t recommend shopping here when they are so incredibly rude.

This is a large, well stocked store with many items boaters would need. They can order vastly more than is on display and have items delivered quickly. Many of the employees are experienced boaters and can provide good advice, although recently this is weakening a bit. They have a price matching guarantee. We are sad this corporation has recently chosen to focus more on clothing and less on hardware and equipment.

In and out super fast. I grabbed a $22 set of polarized sun glasses to replace my broken ones. A guy greeted us at the entrance and had us a new marine radio in less than an ocean moment. I dont know exactly what that means, but, we were in and out, super fast.

Review №23

West Marine is fairly expensive in general (paint for example is as much as 4 times more than fisheries supply). I see it as a convenience store. That said, the staff at this particular West Marine is excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

Review №24

One can always count on West Marine to have a good selection of boating parts and paraphanelia, but for a price. This is one of the bigger stores and is the one place in Anacortes I know will have what I need. I always leave knowing for sure I could have found what I bought for less somewhere else. However, the time and effort to find the better price is rarely worth the savings. In the end, the convenience of West Marine having what I need makes their inflated prices well worth it.

Review №25

A well-stocked and staffed store that caters to all types of boaters. Many feel theyre over-priced, but I have found their prices competitive product for product. Can you get a shackle or turnbuckle for less at a hardware store? Sure, but not one that is marine grade and will thus help ensure your safety and return to the dock. If a $50 part stands between me adrift in the rain or having a good meal at a local eatery after returning home, its a no-brainer. West carries quality products and know their stuff!

Review №26

I understand this stores target market are yachtys, and for that, maybe I should rate them higher, but A) there arent many options available in terms of stores for basic boating needs, and B) 60 bucks for a deck brush???? My goodness. But the staff is courteous and they are willing to help. Awe hell. Ill give em 4 stars. But come down on the prices please!

Never going to buy from them again. I have a West Marine radio that I bought from them a couple of years ago. Rarely used due to illness. The battery was bulging and cracked. I was surprised when they said that it was too old for warranty. What shocked me is that I cant even buy a new one. They discontinued. The guy told me that the battery is dangerous and might explode! They did try to sell me a new one.

Cashier named Carolyn working today at the register was both rude and incompetent. Normally I like the staff at this store. Carolyn had trouble keying a number on a package, repeatedly missing a number or getting it out of sequence. I pointed out what she was missing and she refused to accept my help. After 10 minutes of this, causing a customer backup, she called a manager who quickly typed the right number in. Carolyn refused to accept she typed the number wrong insisting the register wasnt working. The manager just walked away.
