We started Berth & Bay because marina operators and marine contractors deserved a supplier that actually understood the work.
Before Berth & Bay, ordering dock hardware meant calling three distributors, waiting a week for quotes, and hoping the galvanization was actually rated for saltwater when it showed up.
We founded Berth & Bay in 2019 in Jacksonville, FL — one of the largest port cities on the East Coast — with a simple premise: stock the products marine professionals actually need, price them fairly, and ship them fast.
Six years later, we carry over 2,400 SKUs in our 40,000 square foot warehouse and serve 380+ marinas, boatyards, and marine contractors from the Chesapeake to the Gulf Coast.
We're still in Jacksonville. We still answer the phone. And we still ship same day on orders placed before 2PM.
Started with 400 SKUs in a 5,000 sq ft rented unit near the port. Three employees, one forklift, and a lot of phone calls.
COVID slowed marina construction but accelerated boat sales. We pivoted to serving the surge of recreational dock installations and doubled our residential hardware line.
Outgrew our first warehouse. Moved to our current facility on Western Way with 12 loading docks and room to grow.
Partnered with regional LTL carriers to offer next-business-day delivery across FL, GA, SC, NC, and AL.
Added marina electrical (power pedestals, shore power), dock lighting, and ADA-compliant gangway systems. Hired our first dedicated outside sales rep.
Became an AMI Preferred Supplier. Added project quoting for full marina builds. Team grew to 50+ across warehouse, sales, and operations.
