West Marine has opened the largest boating store in the world in Ft. Lauderdale, "the yachting capital of the world.".  The 50,000 square foot store is something you have to see to believe!  Every square inch is filled with top on-the-water gear, equipment, electronics, radar.... you name it.  Check out West Marine's awesome new store in Fort Lauderdale Florida!

The celebration started with  BlueFuture™ Day -  all about  West Marine's commitment to conserving marine habitats and to the sport of boating. Seminars and events included demonstrations featuring green products that are both effective and better for the environment, Angler Action seminar with Captain Danny Barrow and a kid's fishing clinic with Don Dingman of the show "Hook the Future."   

The new Fort Lauderdale West Marine hosted Cruising for a Cause, a unique opportunity for local marine charities to raise funds for their programs.  Organizations including the Snook & Gamefish Foundation set up displays throughout the store with information about their activities and programs. Guests enjoyed a live and silent auction including items such as a fishing trip for four with Edgar Hansen & Jake Anderson of the F/V Northwestern, as featured on Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch.”

The store is open for business - so be sure to stop by and say "Wow!"
