Bo's Boatworks

The more people who use this hidden resource the better it will be. Parking has always been a problem but head down to Hecate Park. It's a short walk to Classic Marine and you have the added bonus of enjoying the ambience of Cowichan Bay.

Friendly and welcoming. I walked into the store in August and was pleased to meet the new owner. Very positive attitude.

Great service and very helpful staff got the marine parts for my boat that i needed . i recommend shopping @ Classic Marine

This is the place to go if you need that little something or other for your boat project, and don't want to run all the way back into town. More likely than not, you'll find it at this marine store.
Yes, you'll occasionally pay the Cowichan Bay Premium but it's still cheaper than running off to Duncan if you consider the gas and hassle. Besides, it'll save you time. Friendly staff too.
But wait! Now there's more! Now they have awesome breakfast sandwiches, meat pies for lunch and if you feel like one, hot dogs. Comfortable seating and good coffee too.
Edit: FYI The clam chowder here missed being

My go to place for a good many of my daily marine needs. If Steve does not have it in stock it is usually an order only item anyway...but He has it from his suppliers that week or next day. It is wonderful to have that one on one customer service.
