What is a chandlery?
Historically, a chandlery is a medieval office responsible for making, storing and selling wax, candles, and as a by-product, soaps. As these were items all required aboard ships, chandlers became a more general dealer for everything required for the ships’ stores.
​
Today, a chandler is therefore better known as a dealer or trader for a particular market, such as the supply of essential goods for ships. Products stocked are usually the kind that come in useful on any sort of vessel, though you may find differences in their stock, based on location and customer demographic.
​
Ship chandleries are stocking essential products that they know their target market use daily, meanwhile remaining knowledgeable and in contact with suppliers of various other specific items.
​
The job of a chandler is somewhat unique in that it deals largely in one line of business therefore allowing exclusivity and understanding to both parties, and the very nature of the profession often means local chandlers can become very trusted resources.
​
Marine essentials you can buy from our chandlery, NauticaL Store
We sell a whole range of products to cater to every area of a ship. Typically speaking, we stock a large selection of items within the following product categories:
​
Anchoring and mooring equipment, shackles and fittings, rigging, flags.
Life jackets, emergency supplies, flares and horns, danbuoys, throwlines, life rafts
Of course, stocks vary from chandlery to chandlery, and much can be ordered in, but the above list gives a rough idea of the general products you’re likely to find within our reputable chandlery.

We do not only offer products, we offer solutions!
