Fabulous West Marine! Wish we had this big and well equipped store in Atlanta…read more It's not as big as Ft. Launderdale but this is bigger than most stores. This WM has MORE of everything including equipment, apparel, accessories and I think they must have had a half dozen sales people! I'm used to seeing two or three at WMs at home. Their "women's" shoe selection is fantastic! I'd been shopping for a new pair of boat shoes for over a month and had scoured Sperry and Merril (& others). Finally found not one but two pairs that fit here . We got a dry bag, add'l lines, fender, Columbia light weight quick dry shorts, 100m water proof watch, Hally Hansen jacket, 4 pairs of shoes, clips for caps...just the variety was fantastic. We also returned a cup holder that we hadn't been able to use without a receipt (bought over a year ago) without a hassle. The staff here's pretty knowledgeable and very helpful. They easily ordered a pair of shoes (size) not in stock for us too. Their prices on somethings are higher. But many items were priced competitively and they had many on sale too. My Sperry's were cheaper here and they had styles I didn't see anywhere else. The quality of things sold here to me are better especially when safety is most important! WM is still the best place to get stocked for boats at a single location and this one in particular is awesome!

They handled everything the same day and even cleaned my guns while they were at it. That alone impressed me. Everyone was friendly and easy to talk to. I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant at first after reading some reviews about one of the workers, but after seeing him work, it's obvious he has real talent. He explained everything clearly, took his time, and was super cool throughout the whole process. The skill speaks for itself. They also had a large selection of gun parts, air guns, and other gear which was nice to see. For my first time coming in, I left completely satisfied. I definitely recommend this place and will be coming back.
