Purveyor of Quality Marine Supplies
Our Story
William Balcerski, a Disabled Veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, spent 26 years protecting Florida’s coastlines. As a licensed captain, he enjoyed navigating to Key West harbor, sailing to the Bahamas, and resting at Alligator Reef Lighthouse on a warm sunny day. From every Florida coastline, William knows the challenges and joys of boating in Florida.
William experienced the frustration of expensive boat ownership and maintenance, especially at big chain marine supply stores. That’s why he founded Boatsman’s.com — because every boater deserves access to dependable, professional-grade products at prices that make sense.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to make boating accessible, safe, and enjoyable by providing affordable trusted products, expert guidance, and a Florida coastal spirit.
Protecting Florida’s Waters
Organizations We Support
Every purchase supports the health of our waterways, disabled veterans, and local communities, helping to preserve the boating lifestyle for generations to come.
I’ve never understood why boating has to be so expensive. Everyone deserves the chance to be on the water and enjoy the freedom it offers. The sea is Mother Nature’s gift—and that belief is what inspired me to create Boatsman’s.
