Only went once and found nothing I needed although they have a lot of merchandise. Also, I was hoping to see lower prices for well worn stuff. Overall pretty good though.
Visiting the keys for a month. A bartender told us about this place as last year we purchased needed items at KmArt which is now closed. We were able to get beach chairs fishing pole and tackle fir a very good price.
Ruben is a great guy. Hard working, fair, honest, and runs a great little business there. Large selection, highly organized, and he does consignment! Cant beat the value and convenience! I call it West Marine Junior. Lol
This is a marine thrifty store that is worth the visit. You can pay with debit, cash or credit. You can get some good finds here.
Great store. Super helpful staff. Cheap prices. Worth a stop!
Great place to find treasure...i.e. decent used fishing rods for very reasonable prices.
Great place to find anything Naughtical.
Friendly, family owned for years. Chances are very good they have what youre looking for, and more that you dont need 😊
Great, funky marine consignment store with all manner of fishing, boating, diving, snorkeling gear, parts, tools - you name it, they probably have it!
If water world was a place this would be it. Never know what you will find here but certainly many things that you need and want.
Best Marine Store on the East Coast . Period . Must see ...
This place is great! Anything and everything you may need for a boat and then some you never know what Ruven will have! Great prices friendly and very helpful I go every Saturday and Sunday just to browse and of course I always buy something
A little bit of everything nautical..fun to browse thru..good prices on used/new marine based things..from parts..to art..
Awesome place for the Bargain Addict! Like the old saying goes...One mans trash is another mans treasure! Ive been a customer now for many years, and its my 1st go too place when the item Im looking for is far over my budget. Of course, over time Ive come to the point where I simply visit this spot 1st, period! Why? Ive learned over the years that Dings can be expensive! I mean think about it, lets say you buy a brand new fishing rod for 300.00. YOU DO KNOW, that it will eventually get its 1st Ding right? After that First Ding how much do you think its worth? And after several Dings? Now lets say you bought the same rod at Mother Ocean for say, $100. How much did the Dings cost you on the new rod? Over the years Ive seen this place grow and grow. It is literally a year round flea market. Whats special about this place is not just the bargains. Its the fact that its not just about finding a bargain. Its also about selling! When I first met Ruben and Lisa (the store owners) I remember making them a comment as to the fact that I didnt know what I was doing there! I mean, I have so many boat & fishing stuff lying around the house, I could literally mount my own store! And thats when the ballcap I was wearing got turned around. I was enlightened to know that I can actually sell my stuff at their store as well! A week later I showed up in my pick-up truck full to the top! 2 weeks later Ruben handed me a check for 1,600+ dollars! which was for the stuff that he sold for me minus his commision of course. Ok, fine! So its my favorite store. But can you blame me? Where else on this planet can you walk into a store. buy what you need, at a bargain. and not pay, due to the credit from stuff that 1) you dont need. And 2) is no longer taking up precious space in your garage/mancave! But what is really unique about this store? It a phenomenon that happens in no other store. Some times, some times. I end up purchasing my own stuff!! :) and other times I sell what I had originally bought there, and perhaps for a profit! What an epiphany I just had, Im a Bargain Addict!G
An awesome place for boaters to find reasonably price parts. Will shop there often
Very cool place, if you are a local and need anything marine related than come here before you go looking anywhere else or just come in and check the place out like I did. I ended getting a rod and reel that the head for a great price and will definitely be coming back ffg or more!
This place is amazing! Im a local and I just found out about it. It has ropes, buoys, life jackets, scuba dive equipment, power tools, Seadek, grills. some of the stuff is brand new all at amazing prices! Definitely go check it out! Youre only regret is that you didnt go sooner.
You arent going to find a better place to get used marine/fishing/boating/diving gear at fantastic prices. Huge selection. Before you buy new check this place out. Plus you can sell stuff on consignment.
Love Rubin.
Wow.... This is a Great Place for all your Boating and Marine needs... It has a wide assortment of everything. Prices are reasonable and very well organized and find things easily... Its a wonderful place to go to get parts for older model boats, that you just cannot find in alot of other marine stores... I would highly recommend going here, even to browse, because you never know what you may find!Its a treasure trove!!!You must check it out!!!
Awesome place to pick up new and used marine supply. All kinds of cool stuff. Owner is great and helpful.
This place has everything you could ever need for a boat. Some very interesting decor type stuff too.
True treasure chest for all!
Saved a ton on money and great service!
Lot of knickknacks. A large variety of toys and gadgets??
This is such a fun place for me. They sell anything and everything associated with a boat and its pretty incredible how big the inventory is. Fun rainy day (or any day) activity that is off-the-water. Alternative place to find a unique souvenir for a boat lover too. Just check the hours because they are not open on some week days.
Great place!! Lots of stuff!! Nice owner guy!!
Keel kickers paradise. I can spend hours there just nosing around. There is a back story on a lot of the consignment items.
Rumor has it that this place is moving but Im not sure when or to what location. I always enjoy going here as a boat owner because of the wide selection of stuff. Think of it basically as a flea market exclusively for boats. The owner is also very nice and always willing to negotiate on price so dont hesitate to ask or make an offer on something. He will also barter any used boat equipment you have.
The BEST marine thrift shop out there. Cheap prices, great stuff, and friendly people. Love coming in even when nothing is needed.
I love going there anytime Im in town theres always something interesting to find they can always make you a great deal. Id recommend to anybody that passes through or lives in the Keys. Thank you very much
These guys are the best! Always new (used) items. Excellent prices. Highly recommend them. Fun just to browse thru.
Fantastic as always !Needed to find Lee Outriggers, have mounts already mounted in boat and had damaged outrigger poles in transit, without saying, these are hard to locate, being 30 years old .Reuben had them, incredible,and at a fair price !Highly recommend.
My husband and I were referred by a co-worker in Miami from Costco. Jr and Ruben were so helpful and knowledgeable I would recommend anyone who needs to have something for their boat to stop in.
Found the perfect gift!
They have it all... when it comes to marine ANYTHING, get your wallet out. This is a huge marine consignment store. Nice deals!
RUBEN THE OWNER IS A GREAT GUY AND VERY FAIR ON ALL HIS PRICING
Ruben and Lisa are delightful, reasonable and accommodating.Plethora of merchandise and reasonably priced.Great experience!
Frekin great, found cool things for my bar..
Has many boat parts. Excellent service! Rubin is a great guy!
All things boating !
Great selection of second hand marine stuff. Very helpful.
Amazingly, exactly the same after the epic move from Tavernier. Ok, maybe better organized.Still the same great prices on hard to find parts, pieces and fittings (plenty of everything else for the budget conscious).
Have been visiting Mother Ocean for years. It is the perfect place for the project boater. Rubin is great.
Lots of interesting boat and FISHING at a good price
Used stuff, some good deals on things you dont mind being used.
Rove and Lisa have a good family run business it busy with lots to see and talk about all of your used Marine hardware and this and that needs can be found here
Great place. Lot of stuff
It was great. New location. Ruben was great ...
Bought a practically new Tohatsu 5hp propane outboard for $950.00 about a week ago. Runs great thus far. Doesnt seem to like reverse very well. Has a tendency to jump out of gear initially but adjusts pretty quickly.Update 5/8/2020. Motor has been great. Thusfar the fuel regulator went out and had to go Key Largo to get new one. Cant order parts directly from Tohatsu unless factory authorized dealer/service center. Replaced very easily. Spark plug has a tendency to foul out when fighting strong winds, swells on my Watertender 9.4 dinghy.
Quaint little shop with unique finds.
Nice place, cool flea market shop
Called to asked a question and got rushed off the phone and told us that he had to go take care buddy and hung up after we were not done asking questions!! Would not recommend.. VERY RUDE!!!!!
Love this place! Tons of stuff and great prices!
Unique place find all you marine look and find things here.
This is a busy place with a lot of good deals. Resale shop for nautical items; common, hard to find, and collectible. The inventory is constantly changing.
Fun place to browse and you never know what youll find. New stuff every week.
Awesome store and people and alot of nice stuff
