This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Mystic Nautical Marine Consignment in Mystic, CT scores 84/100. Reviews skew positive for a deep, eclectic inventory—real used hardware, fittings, books and décor—plus frequent good pricing/deals. Many praise friendly, knowledgeable staff/owner, and some note a fair handled return. Common knocks: cluttered aisles that can make parts harder to find, occasional inexperienced counter help and slow checkout, and serious consignment payment/communication issues (delays, no callbacks). Great for bargain‑hunting sailors; sellers should confirm terms and hours/response up front.
What clients say about Mystic Nautical Marine Consignment in Mystic (CT)
Is this place even open anymore? Does it even exist?! I have made several calls and several emails, but so far no responses. The message for Voicemail says that the person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time.
Not a great way to run a business.
It would be nice to talk to a real person and get some definitive days and hours of operation before I make an hour long trip for nothing.
Cute store but poorly run. Tried to buy a metal sign this afternoon but the price tag fell off it. The sign was no bigger than the others with a tag and i just wanted to pay the same price and leave. The kid behind the counter was lost. He said he “couldnt sell an item without a tag”. Goes on to TEXT the owner for instructions. ☹️
I went here because it caters to actual sailors and not just tourists looking for nautical themed items. They had used boat parts and equipment for sale like a proper marine chandlery. Many of the stores in Mystic were for tourist and felt fake. This place however was real. It truly was a place fitting of the nautical history of the town.
I dropped off over $2000 of marine items to this shop 2 years ago. About 1 1/2 years ago I received a little over $200 for my items that were sold. I have not received any other payments from him or any return calls from over 40 calls that I have made to the shop. . This is a bad and dishonest company to work with.
A great little shop with a variety of cute items for home decor and fishing. There are some unique pieces that are definitely worth stopping by to check out.
As a collector of Nautical items, I was so pleased to find this rare gem of a store! As we went thru the inventory, we continued to uncover more and more! I found everything I needed including much more! Mark and Olivia were very helpful and I look forward to my next visit.
This is a very cool shop for either the avid boater or curiosity shopper. The book section in the rear really caught my attention. Anything nautical, both authentic boating equipment and souvenier items, can probably be found here. I can't speak for the pricing, but nothing I looked at seemed out of line for the condition it was in. Had I the time and a boat, I probably would have bought quite a few items!
Just the kind of place any boater would love to spend an afternoon in and I know it’s no big deal but they have saltwater taffy I also get ideas for future boat projects just by dropping in
I have left a lot of products for them to sell and the company sold, (changed ownership) and I never got paid for my assets. Asked about it and the guy said”what am I supposed to do about it?” Wait! You took my materials, either sold them or lost them, and you have no accounting of them. Seems like theft to me! Never trust them to sell for you! I have never had anything like this happen before by anyone I have worked with. Very poor ethics!
Small store with used marine equipment. If you're looking for accent artwork to decorate your house this is a good place to browse. If you own a boat be sure to bring in your un-used equipment. Prices are reasonable so search the shelves for what you need.
Great one of a kind unique store. They have a awesome collection of nautical items and marine hardware. My husband checked out the new expanded fishing selection while I shopped for own home. Very friendly and engaging staff helped with any questions we had. Definitely check this place out!!!
Don't trust these people with your used equipment! I brought a load of tuna, fluke and striper rod and reel combo's in several a couple of years ago and they shorted me on the write-up. You wont get paid unless you beg for it, then it takes a good while.
Lots of marine and nautical stuff up to Mid ceiling. Had to return a compass. The owner of the store made good and traded another one off for me. Works for me...
Basically a ton of old boating junk piled into a small space. A lot of the books and charts were very outdated and priced as if they were new and current.
Great used marine equip. store. They reduce prices by time on shelf so be sure to ask. I got newish replacement 3 bank 40A battery charger/power system for $90 with a warranty, less than 1/4 new price. Lots of sail and power fittings, pumps and blowers, etc.
