Blue Pelican is a boater’s wonderland! The store is packed with everything you could need for your boat, plus a great selection of used gear—from sailing equipment and wetsuits to hardware and rigging supplies.
Shopping here feels like a treasure hunt, and I’ve scored some fantastic deals on quality items. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the store has a classic marina vibe that makes you want to browse for hours. My go-to spot for marine gear in the Bay Area!
At one time was a great "go to" place to find a treasure. These days prices are close to retail for well used gear. Pretty mediocre.. Come on guys, easy on the mark up.
If you love all things sailing and you love old and used stuff this is just the coolest place. Because it’s a consignment store you can’t find everything you need, but you may be surprised by how much you do find. Also the staff are great help!
Amazing selection of used boat parts, great prices and friendly staff! Matt has always been so nice. Best place to buy stuff for your boat at a great price!
We needed life jackets for our 2½ year old twin grandchildren. No better place to get a bargain for something they will grow out of within a year! We live Blue Pelican!
They take 50% if you put something there to sell it.
50 freaking percent.
Also the guy is not very friendly, probably because he gets the same reaction like mine when he tells people that he wants 50 freaking percent.
What a business model, welcome to California,
the laughing stock of the nation and really of the world. What a joke.
So far so good customer service is a bit blunt which I prefer very helpful call if they have questions called me to double check custom orders which thank God they did because I was able to correct
There is a ton of stuff there. They know that if you are there, you dont want to pay full price, so their uses stuff seems just below retail. I had a few items but put them all back and just bought new for a few bucks more.
You can find all kinds of parts from older boats. It is really worth a check every month or so. I found a few boarding ladders that fit on the side of the boat, gotta figure out if any will fit
I really like Blue Pelican and have found a good number of treasures. But it's better when you are not looking for something specific. When looking for a specific item it might be a long, fruitless search through a big pile of stuff. That said you might find what you are looking for or something else you want. The smaller the part, the harder to find. 4.5 stars.
One of a boater's best friends is Blue Pelican Marine, open and full of nearly everything about boats, and the staff is friendly,... if you enjoy treasure hunting, get over here right away, leave the staff to help customers with purchasing, while you find some treasures you need and even better, you can afford, you will be glad you did.
Last week I found a new stainless steel sink, and perfect match for my old cut out and it could only have been cheaper if I used a shotgun....new or used, try the Pelican first, your wallet will thank you.
Chewed up my prop on rocks getting my 16’ zodiac on to the trailer. Took the propeller to Alameda and walked around looking for a match to the one I had. I asked Curtis if he knew of more that I could look through. I had actually given up and was thinking of how much this was going to cost me new. Curtis picked up “one” prop and said “try this”. Looked good but all the numbers didn’t match. Bought it anyway. Waited till the next morning to check and it fits perfectly!! Thanks Curtis. You’re a genius and you’re working at the best boat salvage yard I’ve ever seen. Blue Pelican has saved me a ton of money. Hooyah Deepsea!!
I love going to Blue Pelican Marine. I het great prices on good used and new parts and equipment for my boat. If you haven't been there yet you will be pleasantly surprised!
Awesome to be a GREEN boater! A great mixture of new and used parts, clothes, etc. Big boats and little boats alike! It's like the marine flea market that never closes...ues they have regular business hours...lol enjoy!
Not sure why a previous review from me showed only 1 star for my homies at the BP. Maybe I had been drinking? Perhaps I was hacked? Anyway, Pelican has always been 5 star good to me. I often "window" shop West Marine, and then run to The Blue Pelican to buy the parts I saw at West Marine to save BIG $$$. I pretty much restored the Santana 22 in the image here with parts and paint from BP. Go see them for yourself.
If you have tine on your hands and you know what you are looking forbthis place is a treasure cove. You will find most parts for amd okd vessel as well as parts for newer boats. Absolutely love this place.
The Blue Pelican is a boating consignment store that has a lot of items to choose, from sails, outboard motors, life vests, compesses and Garman's.
The Blue Pelican staff is very helpful. They know all about the items being consigned throughout the store.
Wonderful find for sailboat and power boat owners alike to find some new and mostly used boat equipment at prices that'll make any boat owner happy. Foul weather gear, blocks, tackle, fiddles, winches, fenders, lines, and much more.
Tried to sell numerous marine items but only a few were accepted because this phenomenal store, Blue Pelican, is stuffed to the gills with marine supplies!!! Staff is helpful, informative, and knowledgeable. Will be back.
The new owners are honest and far more experienced than the previous owner/founder. If you have heard anything bad about the previous owner Tom Bliss and some of those that worked there - they are all gone. Matt & Alex have over 30 years combined experience in Marine Retail at one of the busiest working yard chandleries on the West Coast!
Great place to buy or sell used gear - check often and check on e-bay!
By the way - they are open everyday of the week now - (they used to be closed on Sunday and Monday)
If you're comfortable with used gear, this the place. And if you have marine parts you don't need, they may take it on consignment. Fun place to visit!
Called in advance asking about an item. They claimed to have it. Very helpful on phone. When I arrived to inspect the item it was clearly and easily seen to be broken. They wouldn't give much of discount. Left it. Wish they told me over the phone the item was defective, especially when it was so easily seen to not work.
Really helpful team have taken on and sold a ton of old gear I had lying around. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for low cost high quality sailing and boating gear.
