As this is situated on the barbican you can already imagine how expensive it is going to be! There is parking available but it is limited so it can be pretty difficult at times. This is your typical chandelry shop, all sorts of things can be bought in there from ropes to entire engines! They are also able to offer an engine repair service but again the price is a little steep. The staff are nice but think that as soon as you go in there you have a lot of money to spend which isnt always the case if you have a little fishing boat that you just like to use for pleasure. We dont all have a yacht you know! But, This is a good little shop. GPS systems are all explained to you and there isnt anything that the staff dont really know. If you are looking for a place that will have everything you need in one go then this is the place to visit read more

I have shopped at the Marine Bazaar several times. They have a good range of stuff but remember this is England not the USA or Trinidad so don't expect a store big enough to park several jumbo jets or a store that has everything. The main thing is NOT to go along with a blue-water-cruising mate if you are not into blue water cruising. The reason being that what your mate thinks is "really good" will not be what you want. For example I was urged to buy a flat bottomed inflatable as "these last longer when you drag them up the beach". I used it once and put it away as the damn thing had the steering abilities of a Chinese cracker once it got onto the plane. I then bought (privately) a used-once V keel version of the same boat. These are excellent and I crossed the Solent in mine and towed back a broken down fishing boat from Wooton Creek with it. (it was a diesel powered "project boat" bought on eBay). Blue water yachties will usually want deep fin keels but these are a pain in the butt for Joe Average. Twin keels plus a rudder skeg are much more practical as the boat can take the ground easily. As to inflatables even the V keel and airdeck models are only so-so, but a RIB won't fold up. Allegedly Marine Bazaar will price-match other stores so one can still get a good deal. As to items such as winch handles, it is not wise to spend large sums on stainless steel versions as they will sink just the same as the less expensive alloy versions. ( Lalizaz make quite acceptable versions in alloy) Think global but shop local is often a wise move. Good luck! read more

I bought a Parun 2.6 outboard from them, although these motors are great value for money Marine Bazaar was far and away the best price I could find. The man showed me all the bits and pieces of the engine and apparently when I take it back for it's first service they only charge for oil and filter change. I am thrilled with this Pasun motor the quality is amazing it has plenty of power & despite everyone saying how heavy 4 strokes are this isn't bad at all it feels lighter than my old Mercury 2 stroke. read more

nightmare shop if you want a neat organisational paradigm but fantastic if you enjoy a boot fair. i enjoy coming across the unexpected. these guys compare favourably with the likes of force 4 and marine megastore on price but dont expect the flash electronics fitted to super-yachts. prices are often held in the minds of the staff! not really for the ok ya brigade but i could spend hours in there. read more
