Sailor's Exchange
Buying, selling, and trading marine supplies—now at a new location.
Sailor's Exchange has moved to a larger space, just a bit farther west of downtown St. Augustine, at 290 N. Rodriquez Street. Look for their iconic red anchor.
Sailor's Exchange is a paradise for cruisers and those well-acquainted with life on the water. Boaters and cruisers tend to "get lost" in Sailor's Exchange, looking at the boat supplies, canvas, fabric, maps, sailing books, safety gear, teak, and parts. Once every item in those categories has been examined, it's still hard to leave without first checking out the nautical knick-knacks and toys. The shop specializes in buying, selling, and trading goods, so those with things to trade or sell are welcome, too.
The business is most notable for boat repair supplies or replacement parts. They stock sails, bottom paint for sailboats, hardware, and stainless steel parts. It provides various pumps, ropes, and lines. Customers may also find unique treasures and unexpected items, such as an antique Singer sewing machine.
They are open Monday through Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Transient boaters need to know that in their new location, Sailor's Exchange is less than 2 miles from the Municipal Marina, and 1.5 miles from Rivers' Edge Marina.
