What We Do

Our Story

In the 1990’s our founder wanted to build a nautical bar in his home. (Somewhere to put his blender and play Buffet and other tropical music) He wanted it to also have an island or Key West feel to it. He searched for months on end, scouring many coastal areas, flea markets, antique stores, the internet, and inquiring with many of his boating and fishing friends.

Why Buy?

Our Story

We are a company that looks for something a little different than the other “nautical” stores.

We also add in the “tropical” flavor and search for a blend of unique items that you most likely won’t find anywhere else.

OUR STORY Nautical Tropical ABOUT US

In the 1990s, our founder wanted to build a nautical bar in his home.  (Somewhere to put his blender and play Buffet and other tropical music)  He wanted it to also have an island or Key West feel to it.   He searched for months on end, scouring many coastal areas, flea markets, antique stores, the internet, and inquiring with many of his boating and fishing friends.   After a couple of years of searching he thought…hmmm I wonder if there are other landlocked people out there who enjoy the water and the tropics, and would like to have some of that feeling in their home too?   So he began the search again, only this time looking for even more unique items at a great value.   Well, this story continues to this day as we found out there are a lot of people out there who like this stuff!!   Heck, they REALLY enjoy it!   And they buy from all 50 states!   We guess the captain had a good idea after all!

Our philosophy…   We try to offer a nice selection of mainstream as well as unique merchandise at far below retail prices and great customer service.  (Which is hard to find these days)    How do we do it?   “We lose a little money on each sale but make it up with volume.”   (Just kidding)  Actually it’s very simple…we keep our prices low, and enjoy reading all the great e-mails of happy people enjoying our merchandise and service!   It’s what keeps us smiling and able to afford gas for boating with the crew!  (Which keeps them smiling!) 😉
