“Like being a kid in a candy store” is the feeling marine enthusiasts experience when they step into the new Zaragoza, which has been described as the most extensive chandlery (marine supply store) on the west coast of Mexico. Starting as a hardware store more than 40 years ago, Zaragoza has almost anything a maritime aficionado could desire and is a proverbial “nautical Wal-Mart.”

Whether you’re looking for an outboard motor, bilge bump, fishing tackle, sea kayak, flippers, deck furniture, anchor or new paddle, you’ll find it at this one-stop shop. For the high-tech boater, there are even sophisticated electronic devices, such as a digital, dual-function chart plotter/fish finder. The two floors of retail space are bright and open, and the merchandise is well displayed. From traditional to high tech, you’ll find it at Zaragoza. Zaragoza Marine Fco.
