West Marine Pro Partners with Tropic Ocean Airways

West Marine Pro, the premier supplier of marine products for professionals, announced a strategic partnership with Tropic Ocean Airways, a leading private charter, scheduled flight and yacht transfer airline serving Florida, the Bahamas and the Northeast. Founded by a former U.S. Navy fighter pilot, Tropic Ocean Airways operates a fleet of 14 Cessna Grand Caravans—both amphibious seaplanes and wheeled aircraft—flown by FAA-certified two-pilot crews, ensuring safe and reliable service.

This collaboration is set to transform how marine supplies reach boaters, marinas and service operators in remote locations. By combining West Marine Pro’s extensive product catalog and distribution network with Tropic Ocean Airways’ efficient air cargo services, customers can now enjoy faster, more direct delivery of essential marine parts—even to the most inaccessible islands.

West Marine Pro will also provide complimentary courier service to Tropic Ocean’s headquarters in West Palm Beach and select East Coast outposts.

The partnership streamlines logistics for West Marine Pro customers, with Tropic Ocean Airways handling final-mile delivery via air cargo. This reduces transit times and enhances reliability for orders destined for island locations.
