Our Purpose
Marine Thrift is a place where builders, sailors, DIYers, and the curious can find amazing deals on hardware, tools, and all kinds of other interesting boat gear. We keep good materials out of the landfill and in circulation while ensuring costs of boating stay accessible to many. We support the Northwest Maritime Center’s mission and educational programs.
