West Marine Old Saybrook is a flagship marine supply store for anglers, paddlers, and boaters in Southern Connecticut. The nice, clean store is nicely stocked with a deep inventory of boat parts, sailing gear, fishing equipment, and kayaking accessories. It is known for its friendly, knowledgeable, and exceptionally helpful staff, including experienced older gentlemen and courteous young employees who provide exceptional help and look out for the customer. Some note that service could become extraordinary if staff walked customers to items rather than pointing. The store has plenty of parking, though exiting can be challenging when the highway is backed up. Customers find it an absolute pleasure to visit for keeping vessels in top shape.
Just left this location and the employees we ran into were pleasant and helpful. I have to specifically compliment Tom. We had questions about battery charging and he was very very helpful. He made steered us in the right direction on what to purchase. Excellent store.

Shelves are a little thin. Selling on line is ruining stores
