Boater’s World, a chain of boat supply/fishing gear stores with one location in Richmond and several in Hampton Roads, is liquidating.

According to the Baltimore Business Journal, merchandise is up to 30 percent off.
The company is owned by Ritz Camera, which previously filed for bankruptcy protection.

Bye Bye Boater’s World
Still West Marine lingers on
I will visit soon
