Boater’s World Closing

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Sadly I must report that Boater’s World is going out of business. Some of you may know that Boater’s World was my former employer and many friends and coworkers will be hurt by this turn of events. It’s widely reported that Ritz Camera was forced to sell Boater’s World at auction to liquidators thru the federal bankruptcy court in Delaware. All 129 stores in 27 states are to be closed, liquidated, by June 30th.

The only national chain left is Westmarine. Certainly the demise of Boater’s World will have a negative effect on the boating industry.
