Vendors, General The Binnacle (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

All general vendors of boating equipment.

Although marine quality is often better (and worth some extra money) which is important for electronics and other stuff that needs to withstand the harsh marine environment, I have had good success buying some generic supplies from non-marine stores at much better prices.

But for stuff that needs to last, there are three chandleries in Canada that I favour: Harbour Chandler in Nanaimo, BC; Holland Marine in Toronto, Ont; The Binnacle in Halifax, Nova Scotia.


Each of these is generally well-stocked, provides pretty good service, ships to many locations and often has sales or specials. The Harbour Chandler in Nanaimo provides a 10% discount on non-sale items for members of the Nanaimo Yacht Club, and other chandleries will often have similar arrangements so it's worth asking.
