OUR STORY
Boat Gear USA was founded by boaters, for boaters. Our journey began with a passion for boatingβbut also with frustration. We experienced firsthand the challenge of finding quality gear, lackluster customer service, and an industry that often put sales over service. As passionate boat owners, we knew there had to be a better way.
Thatβs why we created Boat Gear USAβto offer the best selection of high-quality boating gear, backed by the exceptional service that every boater deserves. Whether you're a weekend cruiser, a fishing enthusiast, or a full-time liveaboard, we believe you should have access to reliable products and expert support from people who truly understand life on the water.
Our mission is simple: to serve the boating community with top-tier products, honest advice, and customer service that goes above and beyond. Because weβre not just a retailerβweβre boaters, just like you.
Our friendly and highly-skilled technicians are NMEA certified, fully insured, and adhere to ABYC standards on every installation. Click here to learn more about our services.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
Great experience with Shane who organised the install of Starlink on my boat. Highly recommend
I canβt speak more highly of Boat Gear USA. Itβs so refreshing to have a company exceed your expectations (especially when itβs related to boats). This couldnβt be any more true when it came to Boat Gear USA. Incredible product options and flawless install. I canβt wait for next yearβs upgrade with Shane and the BG USA team!
Recommend Boat Gear USA 100%. Shane Mattson is amazing to work with. He will guide you through your project and after service is the best. Canβt go wrong with this company.
Great products, knowledgeable staff(the owners!),and an all around awesome experience dealing with, purchasing, installing and learing about my purchase! Would recommend!
I just want to thank Boat Gear USA (Shane Mattson) for helping me in my recent purchase of a Raymarine Axiom+ 7RV 7β. I really wanted a unit that was simple to operate and geared toward navigation. The Axiom unit handles that flawlessly, and as a bonus the fish finder capabilities are astounding, never mind a myriad of fantastic features.I can also add cameras and other components to this system as the need arises . I am very happy with my purchase and especially the customer service. Another bonus is that when you make a purchase, you get reward points for future purchases, which I have already used. I really appreciate the fact that Shane treated me like I was literally, his only customer, and answered any questions I had immediately. I have found my go to spot for marine products at Boat Gear USA!!!
Purchased the Noland RS11 analog convertor. Delivered as promised. Unit was easy to install, took a minute to figure out the USB interface, but once I did everything worked! Now have my analog dash gauges and have them digitally on my Garmin.
