The Chandlery

Welcome to The Chandlery, your trusted source for premium marine gear, batteries, power systems, outdoor equipment, and adventure essentials. Nestled in the beautiful Bay of Islands, our mission is simple: to provide the best gear for those who refuse to compromise on quality, performance, or safety.

The Chandlery was born out of a passion for the sea, the need for trusted gear, and a vision to bring world-class products to the heart of New Zealand’s boating community. Founded by Warren, a seasoned marine expert with decades of experience, The Chandlery has quickly become the go-to destination for serious boaters, sailors, and outdoor enthusiasts.

With a lifetime spent on the water, Warren knows first-hand the importance of having reliable gear. “I’ve been in those situations where equipment failures can turn a good day on the water into a dangerous one. It’s why I’ve always been picky about what I use—and why I wanted The Chandlery to stock only the good sh*t that makes your life better.”

At The Chandlery, we don’t sell just anything; we sell gear that we would trust on our own boats. Whether it’s the latest marine electronics, world-renowned Henri Lloyd sailing apparel, robust Victron power solutions, or state-of-the-art Garmin navigation systems, everything in our store has been carefully selected for its performance, reliability, and proven quality.

We align ourselves with brands that are leaders in their fields, brands that are synonymous with durability and excellence. Our commitment is to offer our customers the gear that we would use—nothing less.

1. Expert Advice and Support: Our team doesn’t just sell gear; we live and breathe it. With years of hands-on experience in marine electronics, system installations, and fault finding, we provide more than just products—we offer solutions.
2. Top-Tier Brands: From Garmin to Henri Lloyd, EcoFlow to Victron, our selection represents the best in the industry. We stock only the brands that have proven themselves on the world’s oceans and in the harshest conditions.
3. Passion for Quality: We don’t cut corners, and we don’t do cheap substitutes. We believe in the power of high-quality gear to transform your experience on the water, whether you’re navigating rough seas, cruising in comfort, or simply enjoying a day on the bay.
4. Community Focus: Based in the heart of Bay of Islands, Russell, we’re not just a shop; we’re part of the local boating community. We’re here to support you, whether it’s with the right gear, expert advice, or just sharing a passion for all things marine.

Whether you’re an experienced boatie, an offshore sailor, or just someone who loves the ocean, The Chandlery is here to equip you with the best. We invite you to explore our store, ask questions, and let us help you find the perfect gear for your next adventure.

At The Chandlery, we’re not just about selling products; we’re about providing peace of mind, so you can enjoy every moment on the water with confidence. Drop by, give us a call, or visit us online to discover the gear that sets us apart.
