We've come a long way since our original store on Columbia Street! In 2015, Captain's moved from the Interbay store on 15th Ave to a historic building in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood.
Our "new" store gives us more space, better displays, and a great neighborhood to share.
Founded by Max Kuner during the Klondike Gold Rush, Captain's has prepared mariners for the North Pacific for more than a century.
From tugboats and fishboats to sailboats and kayaks, from nautical charts to topo maps, Captain's has the experience to help plan your perfect voyage wherever you travel.
