OUR STORY
Boat Gear USA was founded by boaters, for boaters. Our journey began with a passion for boating—but 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.
That’s why we created Boat Gear USA—to 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 we’re not just a retailer—we’re 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.
