I had made more than a few orders and received them promptly. So, I have a history of spending about $1000 in the last few months. The last package arrived missing a couple items. They said they were in the shipment.
They were not in the box. They tried to tell me that they absolutely were. There is no way they were in the box when it was shipped, it arrived in perfect shape. They insisted on arguing the fact with me and hung up on me after waiting half an hour to through to somebody. DO NOT BUT FROM THESE GUYS. They will not stand by their mistakes. So they want me to eat the loss because they screwed up!

We got a new boat earlier in the year and needed the usual supplies... fenders, ropes... I shopped at several sites, but wholesale Marine is the best around. What they advertise as "in stock" truly is in stock and ready to ship. Great prices, fast free shipping ( w/ $99+ order), what more could you want? Very happy and will do business with them again.

The worst Company ever. They cheated an 87 year old veteran out of a return fee of 44.00 for a 28.00 item. They lied and told him the shipping return would be free AFTER he spent days and hours trying to get someone to answer their phones. Their customer service is deplorable and I recommend people do their best to stay FAR AWAY from this horrible company. I mean they have an F grading for a reason. Good job ripping off a war vet.

Just can't be beat!
August 17, 2020

I found WM on line a few years ago when I received a boat from my dad... it needed a LOT of work! I've been using wholesale marine for over 3 yrs now... NEVER been disappointed with them! Their service is fast and friendly & shipping is lightning fast and their pricing is way more than fair! Give them a shot, you WON'T be disappointed!

Positive experience
August 14, 2020

Looked at several suppliers for an accessory for my pontoon boat with no results. Contacted Wholesale Marine and product was shipped same day.
Will definitely be the first site to go to going forward.

This company had a lower price than Amazon, eBay, Overton‘s, and every other site I looked at. Unlike some of the other big Marine discounters wholesale marine ships fast, only three business days between my online order and UPS delivery. I've had to wait as much as two weeks from some of the other big names in the business.

Packaging was just the right size to safely protect the item and lots of air bag padding. The order could not have gone more perfectly. Highly recommend.

Anchor system
August 5, 2020

Just had to replace the anchor system on my 14 ft. Fishing boat. Ordered the same unit on Monday and it arrived on Thursday. It is exactly as described and is already on my boat and functioning perfectly. Nice to get what you asked for. Will deal with this Company in the future.

Boating made easy!
July 29, 2020

I have been purchasing boating supplies for about 3 years from Wholesale Marine. I have purchased parts to refurbish our Yacht club committee boat and maintenance items for our personal boat. Truly a pleasure to deal with Wholesale Marine, very good prices and items are shipped promptly. I give them 5 stars.

Prices not representative of gallon pricing. Even always over-priced West Marine was $100 cheaper per gallon on certain Wholesale Marine bottom paint listings. Very sad as there were other items I thought about purchasing. I'll go elsewhere.

I ordered a large waterproof duffel bag (which was stated to be in stock) and 2-day air express delivery, and 6 days later I've not received my shipment nor a reply to two emails to Wholesale Marine. Hello? Anyone home? Based on other reviews, I think I'll have VISA get my money back from them since they apparently don't do refunds either.

From the business

Wholesale Marine has the boat parts and boat supplies that you want at the price you want. We have the lowest prices and offer same day shipping.
